KYIV, June 26 – Naftogaz Ukrayiny in August 2019 could suspend imports of natural gas for its pumping into underground gas storage facilities (UGS), if the company fails to find funding, Chairman of Executive Board of Naftogaz Ukrayiny Andriy Kobolev has said.

"If we do not find a solution to the financial issue [loans, eurobonds, installments on dividends to the government] in the coming month, then in August we will stop importing for Naftogaz. We have to find money in July to pay for gas in full for August," he told reporters in Kyiv on Wednesday.
