KIEV -- Ukraine will refuse to pay an unexpected US$7 billion bill from Russian gas giant Gazprom for gas Kiev contracted for but did not buy last year, a source said Monday, in a dispute that risks a new gas war between Moscow and Kiev.

“We are not going to pay it,” a high-ranking Ukrainian official source told AFP, asking not to be identified and refusing to give any further comment.

Ukraine's state energy firm Naftogaz confirmed over the weekend that it has received the bill from Gazprom, which comes at a time Kiev is bracing for budget trouble amid an economic slowdown.
