Companies operating in Ukraine must reduce prices for oil products in accordance with trends in global markets.
Ukrainian Prime Minister Arseniy Yatseniuk said this at a government meeting on Thursday, a Ukrinform correspondent reported.
“Oil prices have been falling actively over the past few weeks: a 24% drop in oil prices on world markets. This morning I held talks with companies that sell oil and oil products in Ukraine, regarding a certain reduction in prices for oil products in Ukraine, because it is consistent with international trends. Now there are assurances, but I will believe them when I see [lower] prices at filling stations,” Yatseniuk said.
In this regard, Azarov instructed the Antimonopoly Committee to “help our oil sellers and importers set fair prices for oil and oil products.”
