KYIV, July 16 – The successful placement of eurobonds by Naftogaz Ukrayiny for a total of over $1 billion will allow the company to both acquire the necessary volumes of natural gas for its injection into underground gas storage facilities and transfer the full amount of dividends to the national budget.

"We expect the funds to be transferred to the company's accounts either on Friday or Monday. This will allow us to complete all the tasks that the government set for Naftogaz," CEO of Naftogaz Andriy Kobolev said on the air of Radio NV.
