KIEV, Nov. 27 - President Viktor Yushchenko urged the government Monday to stop putting pressure on UkrNafta, the country??™s largest oil company, forcing the company to sell its oil and gas domestically at below market prices.

???I am concerned with the government??™s [recent] comments that we must force UkrNafta to sell its oil and gas cheap, for example to households,??? Yushchenko said addressing a meeting with industrialists. ???If the government wants to be generous, let it compensate UkrNafta the costs.???
