KIEV, June 24 – Ukraine has no conflict with Russia over the price of natural gas, President Viktor Yanukovych said.

"This is not a conflict, but the difference of opinion, and we announced this immediately after coming to power," Yanukovych said in an interview with the French newspaper Le Monde, which was published on the Web site of the Ukrainian president on Friday.

He said that the gas contract between Ukraine's Naftogaz and Russia's Gazprom was "unfair and incorrect" with respect to Ukraine.
