KIEV, June 21 - A floating plant for importing liquefied natural gas may be delivered to Ukraine in July 2014, and imports of LNG can begin shortly afterwards, Vladyslav Kaskiv, the head of the state agency said Friday.

The timeframe suggests that Ukraine is in line with an optimistic scenario, which projected massive imports of LNG no later than the fourth quarter of 2014.

A pessimistic scenario forecast the start of LNG imports in the first quarter of 2015.
