Anders Aslund: Ukraine should not repay this odious debt to Russia
Ukrainian Prime Minister Arseniy Yatsenyk hugs Ukrainian Finance Minister Natalie Jaresko in Verkhovna Rada on Sept.17 after the government's debt restructuring was approved by the parliament.
On December 20, Ukraine is supposed to pay Russia $3 billion in return for a Eurobond that Russian President Vladimir Putin issued in December 2013.
Ukraine has no reason to pay.
