What kind of progress?
We have agreed with our Ukrainian partners on the conditions of resuming gas deliveries to Ukraine at least during the winter season, and agreed on all the details of this deal, but the problem with cash shortage of Ukraine's Naftogaz remains," Putin told journalists after the meeting with Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko in Milan.

La Commission européenne (CE) peut donner à l'Ukraine un autre milliard de dollars (soit 790 M €). Selon le chef de la Commission européenne, José Manuel Barroso, telle somme peut être allouée assez rapidement pour que Kiev paye sa dette pour le gaz russe.
