Ukraine: gas war averted, but is EU deal on? | beyondbrics:

"Ukraine has stepped back from the brink of another gas war with Russia and resumed gas imports from its powerful neighbour after a one week lull.

It’s a relief for the EU that relies on Ukraine as a transit hub for most of its Russian imports. But reconciliation of the latest gas spat could be part of a poker game that Moscow and Kiev are playing in the run up to the EU summit in Vilnius.

Naftogaz, Ukraine’s state energy company, has resumed gas imports from Russia in accordance with its contract, Alexei Miller, chief executive of Gazprom, told reporters on Friday."
