Ukraine signs new three-month deal to buy Russian gas

• Ukraine signs a new short-term agreement with Gazprom (OTCPK:OGZPY) to buy gas from Russia at a lower price, despite the ongoing conflict in the eastern part of the country.
• Ukraine will pay $248 per thousand cm over the next three months, down from the $329 it had been paying in Q1, while talks continue to seek a permanent solution to the long-running pricing dispute.
• Ukraine says it will still be required to pre-pay Russia for its gas supplies.
