Ukrainian Premier to Go to Moscow

By Prensa Latina

Kiev : Ukrainian Prime Minister Yulia Timoshenko will travel to Moscow Wednesday to discuss gas supply-related issues with her Russian peer Víktor Zubkov, the Foreign Ministry confirmed.

Foreign Minister Vladimir Ogryzko denied any postponement of the visit and noted that the agenda of the trip to Russia is being drafted.

The presence of Timoshenko in Moscow follows the state visit of Ukrainian President Viktor Yuschenko, amid a new bilateral crisis regarding the gas issue.

Unlike Yuschenko, Timoshenko is promoting a change in the energy links with Moscow, starting from a revision of supply tariffs and an increase in transit costs of Russian gas bound for Europe.
