Jan 19 – Russia and Ukraine agree on a price for gas in 2009, clearing the way to restore gas supplies to Europe, where millions have been without Russian fuel in mid-winter.
The neighbours say they will quickly restore supplies to Ukraine and the gas it transports across its territory to Europe.
Ukraine will buy Russian gas in 2009 for 20 percent less than European market prices.
