Prime Minister of Ukraine Yulia
Tymoshenko intends to meet with the head of “Gazprom” Aleksey Miller, who
arrives in Ukraine
Tuesday with one-day visit, a source in the government says.
He participants of the
meeting are supposed to discuss supply terms of gas to Ukraine in 2009. No other details
were revealed.
According to the
information of “News time” edition, Miller was entrusted to start negotiation
on gas price with the authorities of Ukraine. Terms and prices for the
supply of Central Asian gas to Ukraine
are not final yet. So, Moscow
might want to start negotiation on gradual price increase till the European
level.
The question is what else the
Ukrainian government can offer Gazprom in exchange for the grace period, except
for stable transit.
