RosUkrEnergo Is Still In Debt
RosUkrEnergo, the intermediary company that has supplied Russian gas to Ukraine, is still owed about $650 million by Ukrainian state energy company, its chairman said in comments published Tuesday
Dmytro Firtash also told the Kommersant Ukraina daily that RosUkrEnergo was unconcerned about the provisions of a Russia-Ukraine gas deal eliminating the need for intermediaries in the gas trade.
"RosUkrEnergo is quite a large company, and for us Ukrainian business was never profitable. Therefore, if we no longer have the obligation to supply Ukraine, this will only make me happy."
