KYIV, Oct 21 - Ukraine will be able to fully supply itself with gas and abandon gas imports within five years, Chairman of the Naftogaz Executive Board Yuriy Vitrenko has said.

"We can achieve this goal within five years thanks to three major factors. We have huge potential, and we are inspired by the example," he said.

Vitrenko said that increasing biogas production is also an extremely important area of development for Ukraine.
