KYIV, Sept 30 - Ukraine may reduce imports of natural gas from Hungary after that country’s recent agreement with Russia over alternative gas route supplies, GTSOU, the Ukrainian gas shipper, said Thursday.

The comment suggests Ukraine may retaliate at Hungary after it had signed the 15-year deal to import 4.5 billion cubic meters per year from Gazprom through pipelines that bypass Ukraine, depriving it of lucrative transit fees.
