In Ukraine, industrial companies must immediately pay for the entire amount of gas, which they plan receive during the year, and in addition - the cost of its storage in gas storage facilities. This system is a profanation of futures. In addition, such working capital simply does not have working capital " – stressed the president Ukrkondprom.
