The Russian authorities did not discuss the restructuring of Ukraine's debt in 3 billion, if Kiev does not repay the debt on time, but Moscow will be forced to go to court, said a senior government source. "As long as we have even internal discussions on debt restructuring are not. I think We'll need in court to seek repayment of the debt. It is clear that Ukraine will not be possible immediately to return the debt, but I do not think We are compelled in the current environment to restructure debt on some other conditions, "? RIA "news" words of the source. The U.S. assistant Secretary of state on European and Eurasian Affairs Victoria Nuland on Thursday said that representatives of Russia and Ukraine will discuss the issue of debt Kiev before Moscow on the sidelines of the IMF meetings in Lima this week. She said that Kyiv wants to offer Moscow the same rules of debt repayment, private creditors, and In case of disagreement of Russia from these terms of Washington will work with the Ukrainian authorities more options. As said Tuesday the head of the Ministry of Finance of Ukraine Natalie Jaresko, Ukraine has hopes that the international monetary Fund will continue to provide assistance to Kiev in the event of default on the debt Moscow, in spite of the IMF, prohibiting loans to countries that fail to settle debt to sovereign creditors. So Jaresko acknowledged that the Russian Federation is a sovereign holder of the debt, and not private, As before repeatedly stated the Ukrainian Authorities. Thus, the head of Ukraine Petro Poroshenko, speaking about the agreement on restructuring of Ukrainian debt, said that the rules have to be uniform for all creditors, and for the Russian Federation.
