Ukraine hopes to find an interim solution in the gas conflict with Russia, Ukrainian Prime Minister Arseniy Yatsenyuk has said.

“We have another challenge – energy. I must inform you that we are looking for an interim solution on the gas issue with Russia. On the one hand, Naftogaz is waiting for an interim solution on a lawsuit lodged with the Stockholm arbitration court, and on the other hand, Brussels today is hosting another round of gas talks,” he said at a meeting with representatives of the European Business Association and the American Chamber of Commerce in Ukraine in Kyiv on Thursday, Oct. 2.

“In other words, we have two options: either an interim solution on the lawsuit or interim agreements in Brussels,” he added.
