KYIV, Dec 2 (Reuters) – Acting Ukrainian Energy Minister
Yuri Prodan said on Tuesday Ukraine may pay for 1 billion cubic
metres of Russian natural gas by the end of the week as falling
temperatures put pressure on the country’s reserves.
“This gas will be consumed. We’re taking 109 million cubic
metres out of reserves every day and producing 55 million. The
situation is such that we are unlikely to add anything (to
storage),” he told journalists.
