"Ukraine recorded a trade surplus of 179.8 million U.S. dollars in May 2013, compared to a deficit of 1.327 billion dollars a year earlier, the State Statistic Service said Monday.
Imports in May plunged by 33.5 percent from a year earlier to 5.04 billion dollars, while exports amounted to 5.22 billion dollars, down 16.5 percent from the same month of 2012, the statistics agency said in a statement.
From January to May, Ukraine's trade deficit was almost halved to 2.433 billion dollars largely due to a 27-percent drop in natural gas imports, the statement said.
Last year, Ukraine has its worst trade performance in a decade, when trade deficit topped 9.027 billion dollars, rising 35.6 percent year-on-year."
