The Economic Development and Trade Ministry of Ukraine has forecasted that the price of natural gas will be $400 per 1,000 cubic meters in 2015, First Deputy Economic Development and Trade Minister Anatoliy Masiuta has said.

"Today we have very serious consultations on the prices if gas were supplied. Of course, prices offered to Ukraine today are not acceptable… We have certain price reference points. At least we orient at the price of lower $400. I'd like not to announce concrete indicators today," he said at a briefing in Kyiv on Thursday.
