Kyiv and Moscow have agreed upon the volume of gas Ukraine plans to buy from Russia in 2013, Ukrainian Energy and Coal Industry Minister Yuriy Boiko said.
Asked by journalists in Kyiv on Wednesday whether Ukraine and Russia had agreed upon the 2013 gas purchase volume, Boiko replied, “Certainly.”
Asked whether Ukraine would buy 27 billion cubic meters of gas, Boiko said, “I think we will buy even less than that.”
When journalists asked him what Ukraine would do if Russia sued it for consuming less gas than it contracted to buy, the minister said, “They are entitled to this.”
Boiko also predicted that the gas issue will be actively discussed at a meeting of the Ukrainian-Russian intergovernmental economic cooperation committee in Kyiv on Wednesday.
