Gazprom says Ukraine pays Jan gas bill in full

MOSCOW Feb 6 (Reuters) - Ukraine has fully paid its gas bill for January, Russian gas export monopoly Gazprom (GAZP.MM) said on Friday.

"(Ukrainian state energy firm) Naftogas has fully paid for supplies in January," a Gazprom official said.

Russia suspended supplies to Ukraine from Jan 1 due to a pricing dispute, causing knock on effect on Europe, which gets a fifth of its gas needs from Russia via the territory of Ukraine. Supplies resumed only on Jan 20 after the two countries agreed on a new deal. (Reporting by Dmitry Zhdannikov; editing by Simon Shuster)
