The Russian Federation set the maturity date for repayment of state debt of Ukraine by the end of 2015, the Finance Minister of Russia Anton Siluanov stated, RBC-Ukraine (РБК-Украина) reports.
“Ukraine submitted its restructuring proposals to commercial lenders, including also Russia. I say again that we do not belong to the category of lenders. In such case all issues are always resolved bilaterally”, Siluanov said.
According to him, Russia did not receive official restructuring proposals from Ukraine.
“Our second position, which we have repeatedly expressed, - we expect that the debt will be repaid by the end of the year”, Siluanov added.
