Gazprom suspends external borrowing

摘要

Russia's cazprom has suspended its external borrowing programme because of a deepening legal dispute with Ukraine's naftogaz over gas supplies, three banking sources said. A London court in June froze the Russian gas giant's assets in the UK at the request of Naftogaz. The Ukrainian company was seeking to enforce an earlier arbitration ruling from Sweden that ordered Gazprom to pay it US$2.6bn.
