Ukraine PM Yatsenyuk: Naftogaz Deficit 1.5 Times More Than Ukraine's National Deficit. (SP).

The Ukrainian state budget today is $4.4 billion, while the deficit of Naftogaz is $6.7 billion, Ukrainian Prime Minister Yatsenyuk said during a government session.

Ukraine’s Naftogaz national gas corporation’s budget deficit is one and a half times larger than Ukraine’s overall budget deficit, Ukrainian Prime Minister Arseniy Yatsenyuk said Wednesday.

“I’m worried more about Naftogaz’s deficit, which is larger than the overall deficit of [Ukraine’s] national budget. The state budget today is 68 billion hryvnas ($4.4 billion), and the deficit of Naftogaz, which we financed because the tariffs didn’t correspond with the market price for gas, is 103 billion hryvnas ($6.7 billion),” Yatsenyuk said during a government session. Hmmm....EU policy moves.... save countries even more broke then all of us combined? So now Europe will provide gas to Ukraine with EU taxpayers paying the bill?
