KIEV, July 8 – Prime Minister Yulia Tymoshenko’s government on Wednesday bypassed deadlocked Parliament by approving a resolution that calls for boosting capital of Naftogaz Ukrayiny, a troubled state energy company.

The move, originally intended to be part of 2009 budget amendments, calls for injecting 18.6 billion hryvnias into the capital of Naftogaz to help the company handle its mounting gas debts.
