Russia warns of gas risks after Ukraine fails to pre-pay gas


    MOSCOW (Reuters) - Russia's Gazprom said on Tuesday there were "serious" risks to gas transit to Europe via Ukraine after Kiev failed to make a pre-payment.

    Gazprom said in a statement that Ukraine had 219 million cubic metres of gas left of the total amount it had already paid for. That would be used up in two days, Gazprom added.
