The Arbitration Institute of the Stockholm Chamber of Commerce (SCC) may issue a final ruling in the dispute between Ukraine's national gas company Naftogaz Ukrainy and Russian gas giant Gazprom at the beginning of 2016, Naftogaz CEO Andriy Kobolev said on Channel 5.

“The first hearing has already taken place and I think we have a good chance to get a final ruling at the beginning of next year,” he said.

Kobolev added that Ukraine will continue negotiations with Gazprom on the gas prices.
