Representatives of the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine, headed by Prime Minister of Ukraine Volodymyr Groysman and leaders of factions and groups of the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine reached a preliminary agreement to establish a working group to analyze gas pricing in Ukraine at a meeting on Tuesday.

The Prime Minister has underlined that the Government is completely open, public, committed to interacting with the Ukrainian Parliament. "Now it is up to the leaders of various factions in order to insist perhaps on some other decisions," he pointed out.

Volodymyr Groysman emphasized that the gas price, established in Ukraine, is market-based. This will help eliminate corruption in the gas sector. "When there is a single gas price for Ukrainian gas production, there is no reason to fraud and corruption. Because rents for gas goes to the state budget, because the price we pay goes to the state budget and the state-run company. Moreover, 100% of the profits of state enterprises are revenue of the State that can replenish the state budget," said the Prime Minister.

The Prime Minister reminded that earlier on Tuesday the Verkhovna Rada adopted decision on criminal prosecution of MP Oleksandr Onyshchenko, who is suspected by the NABU of involvement in fraud in the gas sector.
