ASTANA (Reuters) - Ukraine will probably default on its international debts if it loses more territory, ratings agency Standard & Poors warned on Saturday, noting its existing CCC rating on the country already indicated a clear and present danger of default.

"If Ukraine loses some of its territorial integrity, it will not likely be able to repay the loans," John Chambers, chairman of the Standard & Poor's Sovereign Ratings Committee, told Reuters in the Kazakh capital Astana.
