KYIV, Oct 29 – The increase in the price of natural gas for households will help reform Ukraine's energy sector, U.S. Special Representative for Ukraine Negotiations Kurt Volker has said in an interview with Interfax-Ukraine.

Having taken this step now, Kyiv will begin structural reform of the energy sector in Ukraine and the entire economy. This was necessary because this sector is not as stable as it once was. This decision will also contribute to stability in the energy sector, Volker said.
