Kyiv Mayor Vitali Klitschko considers it necessary to explain the principle of gas prices formation to Kyiv residents.

"The government should explain how the gas price is formed. It is found out that 80% of the heat energy tariff is the cost of natural gas. Therefore an appeal to the government has been prepared at my request to get a clear answer: how the gas price is formed today, what the share of domestic gas production is and what price we pay for imported gas? Only knowing this information we can actually influence the tariffs," the press service of Kyiv City State Administration said citing Klitschko.

Klitschko noted Kyiv residents and the residents of other cities should receive clear information about how the gas price for the population is formed today, what share of domestic gas is used for heating and what the price of gas imported to Ukraine is.
