Lifting the Russian gas yoke from Ukrainian budgetary shoulders | Odessablog's Blog:

"A few days ago, Ukrainian Prime Minister Azarov stated that within the next few years “Ukraine may stop buying gas altogether at that price.  That is not an empty threat”, on Rossiya 24 TV channel.

A statement no doubt based upon the current drive to increase energy efficiency, diversify energy supply and increase and expand domestic production.

It prompted this response from Natalia Timokova, spokesperson for Dmitry Medvedev, “Before making such statements, our Ukrainian partners should take into account that sanctions may be applied in any unilateral review of contract terms” – unsurprisingly."
