MOSCOW (Sputnik) — At a press briefing at the Rossiya Segodnya International Information Agency, Siluanov said:
"We will be ready to consider the question of a pretrial agreement. Provided that proposals of the Ukrainian side substantially differ from the ones, upon which commercial creditors have agreed. We will be unable to reach the agreement if the Ukrainian side takes the same stance."
High Court of Justice in London is going to hear the case of Ukrainian $3 billion debt to Russia on January 17 – 20, Russian Deputy Finance Minister Sergei Storchak said on September 8.
Moscow filed a lawsuit against Ukraine in the London High Court in February after Kiev defaulted on repayment of a $3-billion loan that Russia granted to Ukraine in 2013 under the former Ukrainian president Viktor Yanukovych.
