KIEV, Dec. 19 - Ukraine will continue developing its domestic gas production projects in order to avoid heavy dependence on Russia, President Viktor Yanukovych said Thursday.
Ukraine over years has been taking steps to reduce dependence on Russian gas supplies, but that policy has come into question after Russia has agreed to lower by 33% its gas prices next year.
Yanukovych, in his first televised interview after signing the deal with Russia on Tuesday, said the policy will continue.
