NEW YORK (MarketWatch) -- Russian energy giant Gazprom warned Ukraine to pay its bill or risk having its gas supply cut off, AFP reported Friday. Ukraine owes Gazprom $1.89 billion, the company said. "Either Ukraine pays the debt and pays for current supplies or the risk appears of a return to the situation at the start of 2009," when Gazprom cut off supplies, said Gazprom Chief Executive Alexei Miller, AFP said, citing Russian news agencies. The 2009 cutoff also left much of Europe without supplies. Reuters said Friday was the deadline for Ukraine to pay for February gas deliveries. A Gazprom spokesman told Dow Jones Newswires that the current dispute wouldn't impact supplies to the rest of Europe.
