Yatseniuk: Ukraine must have 100% of its own gas production in ten years
Prime Minister of Ukraine Arseniy Yatseniuk has said that Ukraine should switch to exclusively domestic natural gas extraction by 2025.
"We have a common task: in ten years Ukraine must completely, by 100%, to meet its own natural gas needs", he said in the program "Ten Minutes with Prime Minister" broadcast on Sunday.
