Russian gas export monopoly Gazprom said on Friday, March 6, it had received another $15 million prepayment from Ukraine for gas deliveries, Gazprom's spokesman said, according to Reuters.

This indicates that Ukraine has prepaid for gas until mid-month.

Gazprom's spokesman said that Ukraine made the payment for 63.3 million cubic meters, excluding deliveries to rebel-held territories in east of the country.

On Thursday, Gazprom said it had also received $15 million from Ukrainian state energy firm Naftogaz.
