The Ukrainian economy is prepared for the new conditions in the market, the presidential press service said, quoting Mr Yuschenko.
In a report from the Interfax news agency, the president is also reported as saying that Ukraine backed the liberalization of the price for gas according to a transparent formula based on European guidelines.
However, Interfax also reports that Natalia Vitrenko, leader of the main pro-Russian opposition in Ukraine, has called for a special hearing of the country’s parliament to discuss the impeachment of the president on the grounds that the agreement with Gazprom could cause lasting damage to the country’s economy.
