KIEV, June 4 - Naftogaz Ukrayniy is seeking to borrow $500 million from undisclosed commercial banks to pay Russian gas giant Gazprom by June 7 for gas imported in May, an official said Thursday.
Bohdan Sokolovskiy, the energy security envoy of President Viktor Yushchenko, said Naftogaz has been talking to a number of banks, including Russian banks.
“Naftogaz is in a situation that it is forced to appeal to various creditors to be able to pay for gas, including to Russian ones,” Sokolovskiy told reporters.
