The Ukrainian government has not used the moratorium right granted by the parliament to suspend repayment of foreign debts, Finance Minister Natalie Jaresko has said.

"We have not applied it [the moratorium], we are meeting each of our debt obligations," the minister told reporters in Kyiv on Tuesday.

Jaresko evaded the question as of whether $75 million interest on Ukraine's $3 billion Eurobond debt issued for Russia in the end of 2013 would be repaid on June 20.

Repayment of approximately $39 million interest on the $1.25 billion Eurobond debt maturing in 2016 is due on June 17.
