This in no way corresponds to reality. This was announced on Tuesday, May 30, by the Prime Minister of Ukraine Vladimir Groisman.

According to him, he heard information that the government is going to raise the price of gas to 8500 hryvnia. I want to emphasize - this is an absolute lie, - assured the head of the Ukrainian government.

Recall, according to the changes made by the Cabinet in February this year in the process of functioning of the natural gas market, the prices for blue fuel should be adjusted every six months: on October 1 and April 1.

As reported URA-Inform, in February the government adopted a decree according to which the maximum retail prices for natural gas for the population and enterprises should be reviewed every six months.

In particular, we are talking about Resolution No.90 of February 21, which amends Resolution No. 758 of October 1, 2015, "On Approval of the Regulations on the assignment of special duties to natural gas market entities to ensure public interest in the process of functioning of the natural gas market".
