KIEV, March 11 – Ukraine doesn't plan to bring up the issue of raising the price of Russian natural gas transit during the talks with Gazprom in Moscow, First Deputy Prime Minister Oleksandr Turchynov said.

"Ukraine does not plan to bring up the issue of raising the gas transit price, and we believe that Russia will act correspondingly and will not touch the issue of raising the price of gas supplies," he said in an interview with reporters in Kiev on Tuesday.

Turchynov said he is confident that both parties will hold the talks on equal terms.
