Moscow: President Vladimir Putin on Wednesday ordered his government to sue Ukraine if the ex-Soviet republic defaults on its $3 billion debt to Russia.
"Go ahead, take it to court," Putin told Finance Minister Anton Siluanov at a government meeting while discussing the loan given to former Kremlin-backed President Viktor Yanukovych in 2013, which must be repaid this month.
