Russia to resume gas supplies

January 12, 2009

Russia is set to resume pumping gas to other European countries via the Ukraine after the parties strike a second deal, days after the first collapsed. Many European countries have been left without Russian fuel during freezing winter temperatures, after Moscow turned the tap off gas supplies flowing across Ukraine to Europe. The gas flow is expected to restart on Tuesday morning, according to the deputy chief executive of Russian gas export monopoly Gazprom. Joanna Partridge reports for Reuters
