US EMBASSY PRESS STATEMENT BY AMBASSADOR TAYLOR ON ANNOUNCED GAS DEAL

Based on our preliminary understanding of the terms of the deal between Ukraine and Russia, this is a positive development. Agreement to a formula-based gas price and the elimination of all intermediaries will make the Ukrainian gas market much more transparent and predictable. We urge Gazprom to restart the flow of gas immediately.
