The head of Russian gas giant Gazprom said Friday that Ukraine had cut back on purchases of Russian gas since mid-December and appeared to be facing serious cash problems. “Ukraine is experiencing serious problems with payment,” Alexei Miller said on Russia’s Vesti channel in comments carried by the Ria-Novosti news agency. Ukraine has until January 11 to pay for gas, according to Gazprom, which has cut off supplies to the country over unpaid bills repeatedly in the past.
