KYIV, Nov 9 – Yulia Tymoshenko, the leader of the Batkivschyna party, said the natural gas extracted from Ukrainian gas fields must go to fulfill the needs of households at half market price.

Ukraine extracts 21 billion cubic meters of natural gas while the entire population consumes 19 billion cubic meters of natural gas, Batkivschyna's press service said on November 9, quoting Tymoshenko as saying it at a meeting with residents of the town of Polohy in Zaporizhia region.
