Premier surprised by Russia's position on financial guarantees with Ukraine's readiness to buy gas using advance payments

Ukrainian Prime Minister Yarseniy Yatseniuk is surprised that Russia demands the provision of financial guarantees, as Ukraine is ready to buy gas using advance payments in the heating season.

"The new prepaid volumes of gas are supplied by Russia without delay, as we buy gas in Europe – in the volumes defined by Ukraine. If Ukraine prepays, Russia is obliged to supply natural gas. I'm surprised with questions of Russians on financial guarantees," he said, opening a cabinet meeting on Thursday.

"We have money and we paid, and they supplied gas. We do not pay, and they do not supply gas," he added.
