KIEV — Naftogaz paid $15 million for Russian natural gas on Monday, a spokeswoman for the Ukrainian state energy company said Tuesday.
In a separate statement, Russian gas exporter Gazprom said that based on Naftogaz's current requests, the pre-payment would cover seven days of supplies.
Last week Gazprom said Kiev was set to use up all of its pre-paid volumes of Russian gas by March 15.
