KIEV, June 6 ??“ There are no reasons to increase the price of natural gas imported to Ukraine due to the possible rise in prices of Russian gas, because Ukraine imports gas from Central Asia at a price close to the market price, Ukrainian Fuel and Energy Minister Yuriy Boiko said in Kyiv on Wednesday.

"Ukraine has no Russian gas in its gas supplies. We have Central Asian gas from Uzbekistan, Turkmenistan and Kazakhstan. The formula of the price there is transparent enough, and we see no grounds to say that these republics are subsidizing us in some way," he said.
