中国石化新闻网讯 据卡塔尔通讯社和《中东北非财经新闻》2月22日基辅综合报道，乌克兰政府的一名高级官员周三在基辅接受媒体记者采访时表示，为了减少对昂贵的俄罗斯天然气供应的依赖，乌克兰计划在2013年恢复从土库曼斯坦进口天然气。
这名乌克兰政府官员补充说：“我们希望今年年内恢复从土库曼斯坦进口天然气。”
乌克兰能源和煤炭工业部长爱德华·斯塔维茨基是在基辅举行的一次记者招待会上发表上述讲话的。
斯塔维茨基说，乌克兰计划今年从土库曼斯坦购买100亿立方米天然气。
在2006年乌克兰切换到俄罗斯天然气之前，土库曼斯坦每年向乌克兰供应360亿立方米天然气。
目前，基辅正在寻求大幅削减其从俄罗斯进口的天然气数量。

Ukraine to Resume Gas Imports from Turkmenistan in 2013
22/02/2013 (MENAFN - Qatar News Agency) Ukraine plans to resume imports of natural gas from Turkmenistan to ease a dependence on expensive Russian supply, a senior Ukraine official said Wednesday. "We want to restart natural gas deliveries from Turkmenistan this year,"
Energy and Coal Industry Minister Eduard Stavytsky told a press conference here today. Ukraine plans to buy some 10 billion cubic meters of gas from Turkmenistan in 2013, Stavytsky said. Turkmenistan supplied Ukraine with around 36 billion cubic meters of gas annually until 2006 when Ukraine switched over to Russian gas. Currently, Kiev is seeking to slash gas imports from its northern neighbor.
