KIEV, Dec. 21 – Russia has not forwarded a formal counterproposal on the restructuring of Ukraine's $3 billion eurobond debt, after rejecting Kiev's proposal within the debt restructuring scheme, Ukrainian debt envoy Vitaliy Lisovenko said.

"We have received no formal proposals from Russia. We had the original offer to which they replied that they do not want to speak with us. Therefore, the ball is on their side," Lisovenko said in an interview with Interfax.
