KYIV, July 4 |
KYIV, July 4 (Reuters) – Ukraine’s state oil and gas
company, Naftogaz, is in talks to extend the maturity of a $2
billion loan from Russia’s Gazprombank which was
issued last year, the government said on Thursday.
The loan had been due to be paid off on June 24, 2013, the
government said in a document published on the Ukrainian
parliament’s website.
“The company has proposed to the bank that the timescale
… be extended,” it said.
