Uniper CEO Klaus-Dieter Maubach stated: "We are claiming recovery of our significant financial damages in these proceedings. It's about gas volumes that were contractually agreed with Gazprom but not delivered and for which we had to procure replacements at extremely high market prices and still have to do so. We incurred these costs, but they are not our responsibility. We are pursuing these legal proceedings with all due vigour: We owe this to our shareholders, our employees and the taxpayers."
