Ukraine threatens to take Russia to court over gas

Kiev rejects Moscow’s latest gas price hike, warns of action that could imperil deliveries to Western Europe



Ukraine on Saturday said it rejected Russia’s latest gas price hike and threatened to take its neighbor to arbitration court over a dispute that could imperil deliveries to Western Europe.
Ukrainian Prime Minister Arseniy Yatsenyuk said Russia’s two rate increases in three days were a form of “economic aggression” aimed at punishing Ukraine’s new leaders for overthrowing a Moscow-backed regime last month.
Russia’s natural gas giant Gazprom this week raised the price of Ukrainian gas by 81 percent — to $485.50 from $268.50 for 1,000 cubic metres — and now requires the ex-Soviet state to pay the highest rate of any of its European clients.
“Political pressure is unacceptable. And we do not accept the price of $500 (per 1,000 cubic metres of gas),” Yatsenyuk told a government meeting.
