Russia says unsurprised by Ukraine's refusal to pay debts, will win court case

MOSCOW (Reuters) - Russian Deputy Finance Minister Sergei Storchak said on Friday that Ukraine's decision to impose a moratorium on the payment of a $3 billion Eurobond held by Russia was not a surprise and that Moscow would win any future legal case on the matter.

Storchak told reporters that Ukraine's move would not change Russia's plan to take Ukraine to court once the grace period on the debt payment expired.
