After blaming chief executives of Neftegaz Ukrainy for problems with payment for Turkmenistan's gas deliveries to Ukraine, Ukrainian Prime Minister Yuri Yekhanurov, has said he will "sort out" the debt of around $470 million dollars, owed to Turkmenistan.
"We shall meet our contract obligations, we are not going to let the partners down," he said.
Fortunately, he did not say, "the check is in the post".
