KIEV, Aug. 18 – International investors should enter the Ukrainian oil and gas market now as the market will become occupied, Ukrgazvydobuvannia Chairman Oleh Prokhorenko said.

"Everyone understands that the present situation would be resolved, it would stabilize and those who enters as early as possible would win most of all. We would establish relations with those players who will enter [the market] now, and later it would be harder to enter it, as the places will be occupied. We will study now with whom we can work in this direction," he said in an exclusive interview with Interfax-Ukraine.

Prokhorenko said that each company has its own concept of investment risk, but Ukraine is looking for partners to start working with now.
