KIEV, Oct. 29 - The government injected about $1 billion into Naftogaz Ukrayiny, the national energy company, days before the company must make a massive payment to Gazprom for gas imported in October.
The government issued state bonds worth 7.4 billion hryvnias, or $940 million, and had immediately diverted the proceeds toward increasing the capital of Naftogaz, according to a government resolution posted on its Website on Friday.
