MOSCOW, June 26 - Russia and Ukraine plan to sign a new contract on supply of Ukrainian uranium to Russia in summer, International Uranium Enrichment Center General Director Gleb Yefremov said in an interview with Interfax.

"This year the agreement on creation of the IUEC was renewed for another 10-year period, but given the current inexplicable prices for uranium, for uranium fuel components, we made the decision and agreed with Ukraine and all our other shareholders that the next period of operation of the long-term agreement will be for three years," Yefremov said.
