There are no accords with Russia to review 2009 gas contracts, says Ukrainian PM

Ukrainian Prime Minister Mykola Azarov has said no agreements exist with Russia to review the 2009 gas contracts.

"There is no clear-cut agreement to revise the contract," Azarov told foreign reporters in Kyiv on Tuesday.

He denied claims that agreements had been reached with Russia on the extension of loans to Ukraine in exchange for Ukraine's refusal to sign an associated membership agreement with the European Union.
