KIEV — Ukraine's President Viktor Yushchenko has issued a decree blaming the government which provoked a fuel crisis in the country, by trying to fix petrol prices.
Yushchenko said he gave the economics ministry a week to remove a petrol price freeze.
Petrol stations began running out of fuel - 80% of which comes from Russian sources - after Ukraine froze prices.
On Monday, Ukraine’s Prime Minister Yulia Tymoshenko said Russian firms, including Lukoil, Tatneft and TNK-BP, had suspended deliveries and created an "artificial crisis" in an effort to "bully" Ukraine.
However, the oil companies said repair works had restricted supplies and oil was still being pumped to Ukraine. |
