KIEV, Sept. 9 - Ukraine will abide by the "fettering" gas agreements, it signed with Russia in early 2009, even though it is seeking their revision, government spokesman Vitaliy Lukyanenko told Interfax-Ukraine.

"The Ukrainian prime minister said firmly and consistently that, even though he deems the agreements fettering and going against Ukraine's strategic interests, Ukraine will honestly abide by all points and positions of the agreement until the moment when we persuade our partners to revise these unfair terms and until we sign a new agreements," he said.
