KIEV, July 6 - Naftogaz Ukrayiny met a key deadline on Tuesday by paying $710 million to Russia’s gas giant Gazprom for natural gas imported in June, the company said in a statement.
“Naftogaz every month in full and on time pays Gazprom for the supplied natural gas, confirming its reputation as reliable and predictable partner,” Naftogaz said in the statement.
Naftogaz needs to make monthly payments to Gazprom within the first week of each next month to comply with a natural gas agreement both signed in January 2009.
