Ukrainian Deputy Prime Minister Yuri Boiko departed for Moscow on Wednesday for talks on bilateral issues including natural gas, the Interfax news agency reported, citing a source in Ukraine's government.
 
Ukraine, whose decision to spurn a trade deal with the European Union and bolster relations with Moscow has sparked huge street protests, has been seeking lower prices on deliveries of Russian gas.
