Naftogaz of Ukraine paid Gazprom $15 million as an advance payment for Russian gas. But this amount will cover only 24 hours if they maintain the actual volume of deliveries, the official representative of Gazprom Sergei Kupriyanov stated.
"Today at 9.20 Gazprom received payment from Naftogaz of Ukraine of the amount of $15 million. The prepayment will suffice for only 24 hours of gas supplies," RIA Novosti cited him as saying.
