Moscow — Russia’s Gazprom said on Saturday it would pay Ukraine $2.9 billion as part of a wider gas package before Dec. 29 in return for Kiev dropping another legal case.
Russia’s Gazprom and Ukraine’s Naftogaz were finalising on Saturday a gas transit deal, to keep Russian gas exports to Europe flowing after the end of 2019.
