"If you put a price formula figures about the pricing of petroleum products, including on forward transactions, we can speak in the highest degree of confidence that the price of gas for long-term contracts in the 4 quarter of 2011 can get $ 500 per thousand cubic meters. This is a concern of consumers in Ukraine ", – he said. According to the signed in January 2009 Russian-Ukrainian gas contracts until 2020, the price of Russian gas imports is calculated on a formula which takes into account changes in prices for fuel oil and gasoil in the previous nine months. At the same time as the base price was chosen as the price of 450 dollars for 1 thousand cubic meters, which, in the opinion of the overwhelming majority of Ukrainian experts, greatly exceeds the price of Russian gas supplies to other European countries, although the gas price for Ukraine is no fee for transit. The new Ukrainian government in April 2010 in Kharkov, in exchange for an extension of a 25-year lease Black Sea Fleet base has made discount in the price of gas to Kiev at a rate of 30% but not more than $ 100 for 1 thousand cubic meters. The rate of transit of Russian gas through Ukrainian territory in the I quarter has grown by 2,2% compared with fourth quarter 2010 – up 2.84 dollars for 1 thousand cubic meters per 100 kilometers. Since 2010, the tariff for transporting gas through Ukrainian territory is floating and is determined by a formula dependent on the value of the fuel component and inflation in Europe. Long-term contract between Naftogaz and Gazprom provides that the base rate of tariff on natural gas transit through Ukraine in 2010 is 2.04 dollars for 1 thousand cubic meters per 100 kilometers.
