In 2010 Ukraine plans to purchase 32 billion cubic
meters of Russian natural gas, Prime Minister of Ukraine Yulia Tymoshenko told a briefing Monday.
“We will
suggest 32 billion cubic meters of gas the following year for Ukraine,” Tymoshenko noted. She
reminded that the previous year Ukraine had consumed 52 billion cubic
meters of Russian natural gas. According to her, shortening in consumption of
gas implies “that Ukraine is replacing gas with other kinds
of energy sources”.
The Head of
Government informed that within the nearest time the head of Naftogaz would visit
the Russian Federation in order to implement a respective
order.
“Nothing
can hamper Ukraine to submit a smaller order according
to the current contracts and it won’t be followed by any fines for 2010. We can
apply for 27 billion or 26 billion, depending on calculations of the Economics
Ministry of Ukraine,” the Prime Minister stressed.
