KIEV, April 1 (Xinhua) - Ukrainian Energy Minister Volodymyr Demchyshyn said here Wednesday that his country hopes to sign a new deal on natural gas supplies from Russia in mid-April.
According to him, Kiev hopes that the gas price set in the deal could fall to 250 U.S. dollars per 1,000 cubic meters, which is about 80 dollars lower than the price Ukraine was paying in the first quarter of 2015.
