Russia to resume gas supplies to Ukraine
Brussels
UKRAINE, Russia and the European Union have signed a deal that will see Moscow resume vital supplies of gas to its former Soviet neighbour over the winter in return for payments funded in part by Kiev's Western creditors.
After several failed rounds of talks in recent weeks as conflict rumbles on despite a ceasefire with pro-Russian rebels in eastern Ukraine, the accord also eases concerns that a new "gas war" could disrupt winter supplies of energy to EU states, notably through pipelines shut down across Ukraine since June.
