Ukraine has fully paid for the Russian gas imported in 2008 owing to coordinated efforts of the Ukrainian President, Cabinet of Ministers, JSC Naftogaz of Ukraine and the National Bank of Ukraine (NBU), UKRINFORM reports with reference to the presidential press-service.

The Ukrainian party has paid both for November and December 2008 in advance. Thus, all obstacles have been eliminated to reach mutually beneficial and constructive agreements with the Russian party on the imported gas deliveries for the Ukrainian consumers in 2009.

The Ukrainian President expresses confidence that the talks will be shortly completed and assures once again that Ukraine is and will be a reliable transit country of the Russian gas to European consumers.
