KIEV (Pakistan Point News / Sputnik - 16th December, 2020) The Ukrainian cabinet of ministers has extended the higher tariffs it imposed on the import of Russian coal, diesel fuel and liquefied natural gas until the end of 2021.
"Replace words and figures 'December 31, 2020' with words and figures 'December 31, 2021'," the government said on Wednesday.
