Ukrainian PM expects increase in domestic gas production next year

Ukrainian Prime Minister Volodymyr Groysman expects that natural gas production in Ukraine will rise up to 500 million cubic meters in 2017.

He said this on the air of ICTV Ukrainian TV channel, an Ukrinform correspondent reports.

"This year, we produce some 50-60 million cubic meters of gas. We expect to produce more than 500 million, nearly half a billion and more next year. This means that we will not have to buy gas abroad by 2020," Groysman said.
