14 June 2010 [12:17] - Today.Az
Ukraine plans to purchase nearly 5 billion cubic meters of Azerbaijani gas.
Ukraine’s Fuel and Energy Minister Yuri Boyko says Ukrainian officials have held talks with Azerbaijani counterparts, who build a liquefied natural gas terminal in Kula in Georgia together with Romania and Bulgaria, according to RBK.
"We plan to buy 5 billion cubic meters of gas in the first stage, and about 5 to 10 billion cubic meters in the second stage," he said.
The minister said that the construction of own transhipment terminal for liquefied natural gas will cost Ukraine a billion dollars. However, building a terminal in Odessa, Kiev will be able to find alternatives to Russian gas.
"Construction of the terminal will pay off very quickly,” the minister added.
