Ukraine’s government wants Russia to review the price it charges for natural gas supplies, saying that even with a discount, fuel costs are squeezing the economy.
“Our aim is to review extremely unfavorable agreements with Russia,” Prime Minister Mykola Azarov said today at a government meeting. “Only the agreements signed in Kharkiv, under which we have a $100 discount, allow us to avoid collapse.”
