Ukraine has paid in full and on time for Russian gas delivered in August, Russian gas firm OAO Gazprom (GAZP.RS) said Friday.
Ukraine's ability to pay for Russian gas deliveries is closely watched in the European Union as the bloc gets around a quarter of its gas supplies from Russia, the bulk of which is shipped through Ukraine.
In January, many European countries were left without gas deliveries from Russia for almost three weeks after Gazprom cut exports through Ukraine over a pricing dispute with the country's state gas firm Naftogaz.
Gazprom didn't specify how much Naftogaz had paid for August deliveries.
