Prime Minister Mykola Azarov expressed the hope for revision before the end of the year of the gas contracts with Russia concluded in 2009. He stated this at a press conference in Prague after the signing of bilateral intergovernmental agreements.
«We would like to enter the new year with a compromise agreement on gas price, not undermining the Ukrainian economy. Gas talks intensified in recent days, and in the coming days we hope to develop a compromise solution,» the Prime Minister of Ukraine said.
Mykola Azarov said that the price at which Ukraine receives gas is the highest in Europe. Renegotiation of these agreements was difficult, the head of the Ukrainian government added. At the same time, he expressed the conviction that a compromise solution will be found based on Russia’s long-term interests.
