KYIV, Feb 20 - The volume of natural gas imports to Ukraine will depend on the volume of its own production losses as a result of Russian attacks on gas infrastructure, according to Head of the Verkhovna Rada Committee on Energy, Housing and Utilities Services Andriy Gerus.

"We will need to import as much gas as will be lost as a result of shelling. If our production decreases as a result of shelling, then, accordingly, this volume must be imported to maintain the balance," he said in a commentary to Energy Reform on the sidelines of the Solar Invest Forum Ukraine from the Solar Energy Association of Ukraine on Thursday.
