Azarov: Ukraine wants Russia to lower natural gas prices
Sep 1, 2010 at 10:57 | Interfax-Ukraine"We are conducting these talks. They are difficult, but we have no choice, because the agreement signed by [former Prime Minister Yulia] Tymoshenko and a formula of $450 [per 1,000 cubic meters of gas] are immediately set as the basis. This formula doesn't meet the current market realities," he told reporters in the village of Schaslyve in Kyiv region on Wednesday.
"Therefore, we will seek arguments. We still have time to convince our Russian partners [of the need to review the gas price]. I think that we'll find the arguments," Azarov said.
