RosUkrEnergo, the gas trader half-owned by Gazprom, won an arbitration decision in Stockholm to collect about $532 million from Hungary’s Emfesz.
RosUkrEnergo was awarded $421 million for nonpayment of gas, $106 million in credit interest and 3.4 million euros ($5 million) in legal costs in the March 17 decision, Group DF, which controls Ukrainian businessman Dmitry Firtash’s stake in RosUkrEnergo, said Monday in a statement.
Emfesz’s counterclaims were dismissed, Group DF said. The Hungarian gas trader was seeking $820 million from RosUkrEnergo for breaking a contract, Vedomosti said Monday. RosUkrEnergo is also half-owned by Centragas Holding, a unit of Group DF, which has been in an ownership dispute over Emfesz.

A Message from The Moscow Times:
Dear readers,
We are facing unprecedented challenges. Russia's Prosecutor General's Office has designated The Moscow Times as an "undesirable" organization, criminalizing our work and putting our staff at risk of prosecution. This follows our earlier unjust labeling as a "foreign agent."
These actions are direct attempts to silence independent journalism in Russia. The authorities claim our work "discredits the decisions of the Russian leadership." We see things differently: we strive to provide accurate, unbiased reporting on Russia.
We, the journalists of The Moscow Times, refuse to be silenced. But to continue our work, we need your help.
Your support, no matter how small, makes a world of difference. If you can, please support us monthly starting from just $2. It's quick to set up, and every contribution makes a significant impact.
By supporting The Moscow Times, you're defending open, independent journalism in the face of repression. Thank you for standing with us.
Remind me later.
