Ukraine to Block $3-Bln Loan Repayment If Moscow Refuses to Restructure
KYIV (Sputnik) – Kyiv will impose a moratorium on the repayment of a $3-billion sovereign loan from Russia if Moscow refuses to restructure it, Ukrainian Prime Minister Arseniy Yatsenyuk said Friday.
“Unfortunately, we offered to hold negotiations on October 29, but Russia refused to hold talks, now it depends on whether Russia wants to hold talks or not. If Russia doesn’t agree, then the Cabinet of Ministers will impose a moratorium on paying the $3-billion Russian loan,” Yatsenyuk said.
