Ukraine's state oil and gas firm Naftogaz will not soon raise gas tariffs for households, Naftogaz CEO Yevhen Bakulin has said on Channel 5.

"It is not planned [to raise gas tariffs for the public] at least until the source of compensation for the living standards of people is found," he said.

"The president set a task to ensure that actions to improve the economic activities of any company by no means worsen the living standards of people in the country. So when we make our proposals, we immediately plan what we need to do to address social issues and to ensure that living standards don’t worsen," Bakulin said.
