Kyiv, January 16 (Interfax-Ukraine) – The national joint-stock company Naftogaz Ukrainy currently owes $650 million to RosUkrEnergo, a co-owner of the Swiss-registered gas trader, Dmytro Firtash, said on Echo of Moscow radio late on Thursday.
He said that problems with payments appeared in March last year when UkrGaz-Energo, a joint venture of RosUkrEnergo and Naftogaz Ukrainy, was excluded from gas supply schemes.
The co-owner of the mediator selling Russian gas to Ukraine said that “Kyiv has never re-exported Russian fuel.”
