Ukraine, Russia to hold talks within two weeks – Azarov

Kyiv and Moscow will hold talks within two weeks, which will let Ukraine determine macroeconomic indicators for the Ukrainian national budget for 2014, Ukrainian Prime Minister Mykola Azarov said.

"In the next two weeks, we are to hold focused talks with Russia on the programs we've discussed many times…and decide on those indicators and targets that will let us draw up a budget for 2014," Azarov said on the air of the Intert TV channel on Sunday evening.

Answering a question from a journalist whether the government knows what a gas price will be next year and what price will be used in the 2014 budget, Azarov answered: "It doesn't, as the budget doesn't exist now."
