Russian gas giant Gazprom said there was no risk of a repeat of a gas dispute with neighbouring Ukraine during the winter of 2011-12, easing concerns of supply disruptions to Europe.”I would like to assure everybody that there is no risk of repetition of events of 2006 and 2009,” Gazprom Deputy Chairman Alexander Medvedev told Vesti 24 television channel in an interview. Moscow and Kiev have a multi-year agreement on gas supplies, but Kiev has requested an early review, raising concerns a conflict over gas prices could disrupt supplies to Ukraine and in turn to Europe.
Such disputes led to supply cuts to European customers in the winter of 2006 and 2009.
