The Ukrainian government does not step back from the project for construction of LNG-terminal, but the permission of the Turkish authorities on the passage through the Bosphorus tankers with LNG is still not received, said Prime Minister of Ukraine Arseniy Yatsenyuk.

" for several years trying to build LNG terminal, but in order to build the terminal, you first need permission on the Bosphorus. For this reason, the Government has set for itself the task to first get permission and after you build the terminal, " - said Yatsenyuk on the government meeting on Tuesday.

Ukraine for several years declares the intention to build near Odessa terminal for liquefied natural gas, however, the project met with serious difficulties. For example, Ukraine is unable to come to a General agreement with Turkey on passage of tankers through the Bosporus. Yatsenyuk in June stated that he had asked the Prime Minister of Turkey, Tayyip Erdogan to consider this issue, but received no reply.
