Ukraine’s national energy company Naftogaz has agreed with Gazprom to import 27 billion cubic meters of natural gas from Russia next year, Ukrainian Energy and Coal Industry Minister Yuriy Boiko said on June 27.
That amount is just over half of the amount Ukraine is contracted to
buy under the terms of the 2009 gas deal signed with Russia.Boiko said he hoped Ukraine would be able to purchase even less gas from Russia next year.
