Ukraine starts getting gas through Hungary, says Azarov
Ukraine has started getting natural gas through Hungary, Ukrainian Prime Minister Mykola Azarov has said.
"I'm very pleased to inform you that today, and it is significant, the first molecule of Hungarian gas has crossed the Ukrainian-Hungarian border via a reverse system of gas shipments to our country," Azarov said at a press conference in Budapest on Thursday.
"This is a very big event. It really means a breakthrough in the energy independence of Ukraine," the prime minister said.
In addition, Azarov said that he was discussing with Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban the possibility of increasing natural gas shipments to Ukraine.
According to him, Orban instructed his government to look into this issue. Azarov pledged to organize the relevant work in Ukraine.
