Ukraine's stance on gas is open blackmail - Miller

MOSCOW. June 12 (Interfax) - Russia's Gazprom considers Ukraine's stance in gas sector to be contentious and aimed to escalate the situation.

"The stance of Ukraine is open blackmail. No constructive steps and no compromises occurred from the very beginning and it appears to be a wish to escalate our relations in gas sector to the limit," Gazprom CEO Alexei Miller told reporters.
