The press- office of Deputy Prime Minister Serhiy Arbuzov gives recommendations regarding media coverage of the gas dispute. A copy of the letter was posted by journalist Mustafa Nayem in his blog on Ukrayinska Pravda.

"The letter was signed by Natalia Spasichenko, the press service of First Vice Prime Minister of Ukraine, and was sent to the press services of subordinate departments for further work with the media. Similar letters were sent to some editors with the so-called “family media-holding"- said the journalist.

Arbuzov’s press service offers to maximally cite the statement of Azarov about the gas contract revision, and to shift the responsibility on the Prime Minister premiere – "let him fight".

Also, they offered to cite the statement of Foreign Affairs Minister Leonid Kozhara about European prospects and about signing the Association of Ukraine and the EU.
