KIEV — Ukraine is seeking to "overcome disagreements" with Russia and hopes to complete talks on natural gas price agreements soon, said National Defense and Security Council Secretary Andriy Klyuev.
Klyuev met with Sergei Naryshkin, speaker of Russia's lower house of parliament, Monday in Kiev. "I expect both sides will work out an optimal, economically grounded and fair gas price formula for Ukraine," Klyuev said.
"Talks are dynamic," Naryshkin said Monday after meeting Ukraine's Prime Minister Mykola Azarov. "Russia's Energy Ministry submitted a new draft agreement to the Ukrainian side," he said without providing details.

A Message from The Moscow Times:
Dear readers,
We are facing unprecedented challenges. Russia's Prosecutor General's Office has designated The Moscow Times as an "undesirable" organization, criminalizing our work and putting our staff at risk of prosecution. This follows our earlier unjust labeling as a "foreign agent."
These actions are direct attempts to silence independent journalism in Russia. The authorities claim our work "discredits the decisions of the Russian leadership." We see things differently: we strive to provide accurate, unbiased reporting on Russia.
We, the journalists of The Moscow Times, refuse to be silenced. But to continue our work, we need your help.
Your support, no matter how small, makes a world of difference. If you can, please support us monthly starting from just $2. It's quick to set up, and every contribution makes a significant impact.
By supporting The Moscow Times, you're defending open, independent journalism in the face of repression. Thank you for standing with us.
Remind me later.
