Tymoshenko accused Head of Customs V.Khoroshkovskiy to be in one team with Firtash
Looks like the stakes in the game are raisen. Tymoshenko accused Head of Customs V.Khoroshkovskiy to be in one team with Firtash as a reaction on declaration of head of customs that he cannot proceed with customs clearance of 11 bcm of gas from Ukrainian UGS for NAK because the owner of the gas is Swiss-registered gas trader RosUkrEnergo .
Further on Timoshenko accused TV channel Inter to belong to Firtash (Khoroshkovskiy being one of the key shareholders) and declared that it shall be sold to a foreign investor. As a response Inter made official declaration that Firtash is not shareholder of the TV channel. And Khoroshkovskiy announced that Tymoshenko personally held negotiations with him to purchase Inter for herself.
RosUkrEnergo has rejected a claim that it has no gas reserves in Ukraine's underground storage facilities.RosUkrEnergo's spokesman Andriy Knutov told that the information about the absence of natural gas belonging to RosUkrEnergo in Ukraine's underground storage facilities is false. "The presence of the natural gas in Ukraine's storage facilities is confirmed by both a letter from the National JSC Naftogaz Ukrainy and other bilateral documents," Knutov said.
"The National JSC Naftogaz Ukrainy has no claim on any gas volumes belonging to the Swiss company. No decision has been taken to sell gas belonging to RosUkrEnergo to Naftogaz Ukrainy. No such document have been signed," the company spokesman said.
Naftogaz official Ihor Didenko said on Wednesday that there is currently no gas owned by RosUkrEnergo in Ukrainian underground gas storage facilities. An estimated 1.5 billion cubic meters of the gas currently present in Ukraine's underground gas storage facilities belongs to private gas production companies, "several hundred million" is owned by Ukraine's State Material Reserve Committee, and the rest is owned by Naftogaz, Didenko said. According to him, Naftogaz has used more than 4 billion cubic meters of gas from underground depots to date and keeps more than 20 billion cubic meters in them currently.
