KYIV, Sept 5 - Poltava Petroleum Company, part of JKX Oil & Ga), a liquefied petrol gas (LPG) producer, said shortage of the fuel will continue through mid-October.

"We expect a shortage of liquefied gas in Ukraine in September and possibly in the first half of October. We expect that the increase in prices, both in wholesale and retail, will fully stabilize over the coming weeks. High prices will lead to a decrease in liquefied gas consumption and the market itself will even out demand and supply, which will lead to a reduction in the deficit," director of the commercial department of the company Andriy Dovhaniuk said.
