Facing a November battle over the winter gas price hike, Ukraine’s leaders are on the offensive. Prime Minister Groysman said: “The gas price will not rise anymore this year — or this heating season. Period…Those who have low incomes today are already on subsidies. They will not feel any increases.” President Poroshenko said: “Listen today to the promises of populists to reduce the price of gas by two, three, four or even six times. This can be done only by returning to Russian gas slavery…I advise you to listen less to the sweet voices of pseudo-defenders. Why? Because there is a lot of honey in them, there is little truth.”
