At the session of the
Cabinet on Wednesday Prime Minister Yulia Tymoshenko said that the gas price
for Ukraine would increase gradually.
According to her, during
the yesterday’s meeting with Gazprom head Aleksey Miller they found the
compromise regarding the formation of gas price for Ukraine for the next year.
The Premier also noted that
in the nearest future the talks between Gazprom and Central Asian gas supplies –
Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan and Kazakhstan – would be finished, and then it
would be possible to fix final prices.
“As agreed earlier during
my visit to Moscow, the gas price increase for Ukraine up to the market level will be
gradual, step-by-step during several years,” Tymoshenko said.
She underlined that there
would be no stresses and shocks regarding this question.
