RFE/RL: Ukraine Reducing Russian Gas Imports
Ukraine's Minister of Energy Yuriy Boyko has appeared on television to speak about plans to reduce the country's dependence on Russian supplies of natural gas, including the possibility of Russia taking his country to international court.
On the Inter television channel on the evening of November 16, Boyko said Kyiv is dissatisfied with the price Russia's gas giant Gazprom charges Ukraine for gas.
"We know there will be arguments, even court battles with our Russian colleagues," he said, but Ukraine intends to defend its national interests.
