KIEV, June 8 - Naftogaz Ukrayiny, the national energy company, on Thursday paid about $648 million to Russia's gas giant Gazprom for natural gas imported in May, the company said in a statement Friday.
Ukraine is buying the Russian gas at about $425 per 1,000 cu m in the second quarter of 2012, compared with $416/1,000 cu m in the first quarter.
The current price includes $100/1,000 cu m discount Ukraine obtained in April 2010 in exchange for extending the stationing of the Russian naval fleet in Ukraine's Crimea by 25 years through 2042.
