Ukraine PM speaks for new gas link with Poland

The construction of a new gas pipeline link between Poland and Ukraine could provide an additional 80 million cubic meters a day to the latter country, Ukrainian Prime Minister Arseniy Yatsenyuk said during a sitting of the anti-crisis committee on Friday. “This actually means that we could buy all the natural gas we need from the member states of the European Union,  Yatsenyuk said. The construction of such a gas link should be completed by 2016, the Ukrainian PM said. On Thursday evening, Ukraine signed an agreement on gas supplies with Russia. It agreed to settle earlier payments and make advance payments for future deliveries.
