KIEV, Sept. 20 - Ukraine and Azerbaijan will set up a joint venture to conduct a feasibility study for liquefied natural gas supply routes that may be used by Ukraine, a state agency reported Tuesday.

“The joint venture between the State Investment and National Projects Management Agency of Ukraine and Azerbaijan’s state oil company SOCAR will be formed by the end of the current month,” Vladyslav Kaskiv, the head of the agency, said at a statement.

“The move will help us to speed up the national project of building the LNG terminal,” Kaskiv said.
