KIEV, June 16 - Ukraine will have to find ways to settle its dispute over natural gas with gas trader RosUkrEnergo, Prime Minister Mykola Azarov said Tuesday.

“We are thinking how to exit this situation,” Azarov said in an interview with BBC Ukrainian service aired late Tuesday.

Ukraine’s state-owned Naftogaz Ukrayiny was last week ordered by a court of arbitration in Stockholm to return 12.1 billion cubic meters of gas to RosUkrEenrgo.
