KIEV (Sputnik) – The Ukrainian government has instructed the country’s Naftogaz to halt all further purchases of Russian gas, Ukrainian Prime Minister Arseniy Yatsenyuk said Wednesday.
“The government has made the decision to instruct Naftogaz to halt the purchase of Russian gas, and so there is no confusion, it isn’t them who is not delivering gas, it’s us who is not buying gas. This was done, first of all, because the offers coming from our European partners, the pricing offers, are much lower than from our eastern neighbor,” Yatsenyuk said during a cabinet meeting.
