"No plans for this are even closely discussed .... We are purchasing from Europe now, but our plan is to make sure that we do not import gas at all, so that we produce more natural gas and we produce so-called biogas," he said in interview with the Ukrainian version of Deutsche Welle.
Earlier, Russian Deputy Prime Minister Alexander Novak called Ukraine's dependent position on the gas issue in relation to other countries, and also noted the "surprising" policy of Kiev to purchase Russian gas more expensive than it was possible.
