OAO Gazprom, Russia’s natural gas exporter, said Ukraine failed to meet its deadline to pay for April supplies as the crisis-torn country begins receiving cash from an international bailout package.
Ukraine’s overdue debt climbed to $3.51 billion, including the bill for last month, Gazprom spokesman Sergey Kupriyanov said by e-mail. State-owned NAK Naftogaz Ukrainy declined to comment. The International Monetary Fund provided Ukraine $3.2 billion under a $17 billion bailout accord yesterday.
