IMF considers Ukraine's debt to Russia as private sector obligation - representative

The International Monetary Fund (IMF) considers Ukraine's $3 billion in debt to Russia as an obligation of the private sector, not the official sector, IMF Deputy Spokesman William Murray said.

"The $3 billion in eurobonds belong to Russia's National Welfare Fund (NWF)," he said during a briefing at IMF headquarters in Washington, DC, on Thursday.
