KYIV, March 2 - Ukraine’s natural gas supply and demand will stabilize within six days after the government has ordered emergency measures to reduce gas consumption, Prime Minister Volodymyr Groysman said Friday.

The timeframe has increased from four days that has been previously signaled by Naftogaz Ukrayiny, showing gas shortages may be worse than has been previously expected.

“The situation will stabilize on Tuesday. Maximum on Wednesday,” Groysman said.
