MOSCOW Jan 1 (Reuters) - Russia's state controlled gas monopoly, Gazprom (GAZP.MM), wants to sell gas to Ukraine at $418 per 1,000 cubic metres (tcm) in 2009, more than double the price Kiev paid last year, RIA news agency quoted Gazprom CEO Alexei Miller as saying on Thursday.

"Gazprom will deliver gas to Ukraine at market prices of $418 per 1,000 cubic metres from January," Miller was quoted as saying, citing Ukraine's refusal to buy gas at $250 per tcm.

Last year Ukraine paid $179 per tcm. (Writing by Guy Faulconbridge; editing by Giles Elgood)
