MOSCOW, January 4 (RIA Novosti) - Russian energy giant Gazprom and Ukraine's state oil and gas company Naftogaz have come to terms on the supplies of Russian natural gas to Ukraine, the companies' heads said Wednesday.

Gazprom CEO Alexei Miller and head of Naftogaz Alexei Ivchenko told a news conference they had signed a contract for five years, which set the price for Russian natural gas supplies to Ukraine at $230 per 1,000 cubic meters and at $1.6 for the transit of 1,000 cu m of gas via each 100km of Ukraine's territory.

Miller said transit would be paid for in money, and its cost was in no way connected with the price of gas delivered to Ukraine. He said Gazprom was "satisfied with the achieved results."

Ivchenko also said Naftogaz was satisfied with the results of the talks.

"We are satisfied with the results of the talks, we have come to terms on a mutually acceptable basis, which allows us to ensure Ukraine's balance of gas in full and ensure transit of Russian natural gas to Europe," Ivchenko said.

"We will buy Turkmen gas from RosUkrEnergo on the border of Russia and Ukraine at $95 per 1,000 cu m," the head of Naftogaz said.
