KIEV, Sept. 15 – Ukraine can count on domestic resources and alternative fuel supplies in the issue of natural gas consumption, Georgian President Mikhail Saakashvili said.

"Ukraine is now undergoing a very difficult period, through which Georgia has already passed. And, in my opinion, you should end your dependence on gas. One energy supplier is death. It's easy to use this factor for blackmail," he said in an interview with the Segodnya newspaper published on Thursday.
