Naftogaz of Ukraine CEO Andriy Kobolev says that the price Ukraine pays for imported gas now is about $200 per 1,000 cubic meters, including transportation costs.
"We buy it for $180. The import price at entry in Ukraine is about $200 per 1,000 cubic meters already," he told reporters after a government meeting on Friday.
As UNIAN reported earlier, Ukrainian Energy Minister Volodymyr Demchyshyn announced late in January that the price of natural gas imported from the European Union to Ukraine had fallen to $190 per 1,000 cubic meters, which was lower than the price asked by Russia's OAO Gazprom.
