The publication writes: “The 19-month conflict between Ukraine and Russia risks reaching a new level of tension after a statement by the head of government in Kyiv. Yatsenyuk warned that Moscow may not receive a $3 billion loan if it does not agree to the terms of the restructuring.”
If Russia does not agree to the terms proposed by Kiev, Yatsenyuk told the Handelsblatt newspaper, “then we will impose a moratorium rather than service the loan.”
Yatsenyuk called the Russian loan “a bribe to Yanukovych.” He convinced that there were no more energy oligarchs left in Ukraine who “loomed over the government.” However, the publication reports that the loan is not private, but public. Russia purchased bonds on the Irish Stock Exchange, and failure to pay on them automatically means a state default for all stock markets in the world.
The publication predicts that these words from Yatsenyuk will only worsen the situation with the loan.
