SOCHI, Sept. 17 - The price of natural gas to be supplied to Ukraine in the fourth quarter of 2010 will be “about $250 per 1,000 cubic meters,” and it will not change significantly in 2011, Gazprom Deputy CEO Valery Golubev said.

Asked about the average gas price for Ukraine in 2011, Golubev said: "Almost the same. It won't change much."

The price of natural gas imported by national oil and gas company Naftogaz Ukrayiny in Q3 is $248.72 per 1,000 cubic meters, was $232.86 in Q2, and $305.68 in Q1. The decrease from Q1 to Q2 was thanks to a zero export duty rate on Russian gas deliveries to Ukraine.
