Ukraine tries to make it clear as quick as possible whether the compromise on supply of the Russian gas for the forthcoming autumn-winter season will be reached during the Ukraine-Russia gas talks with the participation of the EU, or it will be up to the Stockholm Arbitration Court to decide on this matter, Ukrainian Prime Minister Arseniy Yatseniuk has said.

"In order to have an interim decision over the natural gas supply, we appealed to the court to speed up taking of the interim decision, which could provide, on one hand, fixing of the price, on the other hand, supplies of the natural gas," the premier said before the government sitting in Kyiv on Thursday.

He added that one more variant possible is setting gas price from March 31, 2015 in the frames of the negotiations between Ukraine and Russia with the participation of the European Union.

For the first time Yatseniuk reported that a lawsuit was submitted to the court to fix an interim gas price on October 3, saying that a decision is expected to be taken in a month term.
