KIEV, June 7 - Ukraine may resume imports of Russian natural gas in the third quarter if Gazprom agrees to lower its prices to below European gas prices, Andriy Kobolev, the head of Naftogaz Ukrayiny, said.

“In terms of minimizing costs for consumers and simply using common sense this would be the right thing to do,” Kobolev said in an interview with Channel 5 television late Monday.
