Ukrainian PM Azarov sure price for Russian gas will be cut

KYIV. June 8 (Interfax) - Ukrainian Prime Minister Mykola Azarov is convinced that the price for gas that Ukraine buys from Russia will be reduced sooner or later.

"The abnormal price for Russian gas will be reduced sooner or later. Everybody perfectly understands this," Azarov said at a meeting with experts discussing an import replacement program in Kyiv on Friday.

While the price for imported gas and the level of losses of resources in the domestic housing and utilities sector remain high, it is too early to talk about raising the price for gas for private households, he said.
