KIEV, December 23 (RIA Novosti) - Russian and Ukrainian government delegations will continue talks on natural gas supplies next week, Ukrainian Economics Minister Arseniy Yatsenyuk said Friday.
The minister accused Russia of price discrimination against Ukraine, saying Russia provided natural gas to its neighboring countries at an average price of $100-$150 per 1,000 cubic meters.
"Deviating from these levels, and moreover raising prices four or fivefold, can be viewed as price discrimination," the minister said.
Yatsenyuk said the two countries had signed agreements on a mutual trade zone and economic cooperation that must not be violated.
