Russia's Gazprom says ready to compromise on gas for east Ukraine


    MOSCOW (Reuters) - Russian natural gas producer Gazprom said on Thursday it was willing to compromise with Ukraine over gas supplies to rebel-held regions in its east.

    "We are ready at the moment to exclude our gas supplies to Donbass from our discussions (with Ukraine)," Gazprom spokesman Sergei Kupriyanov told the Rossiya-24 TV channel.

    He also said that Ukraine had prepaid for Russian gas until the end of the week.
