The minister recalled Ukraine had already recovered from Gazprom UAH 100 million to the state budget.

"As for assets in other countries, we have a plan that I'd not reveal since it should be a surprise for the debtor," Petrenko told one of Ukrainian TV channels, Ekonomichna Pravda reports.

As UNIAN reported earlier, Naftogaz on February 28 received the final award of the Stockholm Arbitration Tribunal ordering that Gazprom pay Naftogaz $4.63 billion. The award means Gazprom has to make payments to Naftogaz in the order of $2.56 billion after residual payments for gas delivered in 2014 and 2015 have been settled.
