KIEV, Jan. 20 - Ukraine is unlikely to resume any natural gas imports from Russia in January, but may do so by the end of February if cold weather persists, Energy and Coal Industry Minister Volodymyr Demchyshyn said Wednesday.

“It is unlikely in January,” Demchyshyn told reporters after a government meeting on Wednesday. “Later on, by the end of February, we will see. It will all depend on volume of gas we can take from our gas storage facilities.”
