It may be a paradox, but Gazprom's top lobbyists in Europe are its competitors such as Eni or GDF. They suffer themselves from gas market liberalization and understand Gazprom better than government officials.
The debt to Gazprom for gas supplied earlier was not paid. Despite verbal statements from Kiev, Gazprom did not see any money in its account.
Tymoshenko believes that no intermediary should profit and no profit should go to Gazprom at all. Yushchenko is more flexible and understands that to achieve a lower gas price, Ukraine should offer something to Gazprom.
It puts Gazprom in a difficult situation, because Gazprom purchases [gas] for its own use and for export purposes. -
