KYIV, Nov 13 – Naftogaz Ukrayiny will be able to buy out next year the entire resource offered by private gas production companies if the ban on its export is extended, head of the Naftogaz Group Oleksiy Chernyshov has said.

"The company is ready to purchase the entire volume of gas that the private sector will offer. We will be ready to buy it, because the support of companies and their liquidity is important to us, so that Ukrainian production does not decrease in any way. I am confident that we will cope with this, as managed this year, purchasing 700-800 million cubic meters of gas," Chernyshov said in a commentary to Interfax-Ukraine on the sidelines of the forum Success Formula for Ukraine: Big Day with NV on November 11.
