KIEV (Reuters) - Ukraine's Finance Ministry said on Thursday it was committed to negotiating in good faith a restructuring of a $3 billion (2.1 billion pounds) Eurobond held entirely by Russia, after the International Monetary Fund ruled the bond was sovereign rather than private debt.

In a statement, the ministry repeated it would not repay the bond in full when it matures on Dec. 20.
