Ukraine has signed a new agreement to buy Russian gas over the next three months for $248 per thousand cubic metres, after paying $329 in the first quarter of this year, under the recently expired 'winter package', the Ukrainian energy ministry said today (2 April).

Russia and Ukraine have agreed to discuss a "summer package" of gas supplies late this month, with Kyiv winning an assurance at Monday's EU-mediated talks in Brussels that it would not pay for energy delivered to rebel-held areas.

Gazprom said Tuesday (24 February) that there were "serious" risks to gas transit to Europe via Ukraine after Kyiv failed to make a pre-payment.

Russia started supplying gas to rebel-held eastern Ukraine today (19 February) after Kyiv suspended supplies because of damage to the networks from heavy fighting, which is continuing despite a ceasefire.
