MOSCOW:
Ukraine owes Russian gas giant Gazprom a "huge" debt of $1.55 bn for
unpaid gas and may not be able to keep the discount it currently enjoys
for Russian gas imports, the firm said on Saturday."We have good relations with Ukraine, the transit is working, but they just need to pay for the gas. The debt is $1.549 billion, it is huge," Gazprom spokesman Sergei Kupriyanov told the RIA Novosti news agency.
"Clearly, with this debt Ukraine may not be able to keep its discount (to market price) for the gas. The agreements on the discount forsee a full and timely payment."
