No Russia-Ukraine Gas Deal At EU Talks; Moscow Queries Finances -- Reuters
(Reuters) - Russia and Ukraine failed to reach an accord on gas supplies for the coming winter in EU-brokered talks on Tuesday but agreed to meet again in Brussels in a week in the hope of ironing out problems over Kiev's ability to pay.
After a day of talks widely expected to be the final word, European Energy Commissioner Guenther Oettinger told a news conference the three parties agreed the price Ukraine would pay Russia's Gazprom (GAZP.MM) - $385 per thousand cubic meters - as long as it paid in advance for the deliveries.

Interesting photo, as always WNU. First off Putin, small notepad, no other paperwork, he's the boss the guy with the yes or no. Poroshenko plenty of papers, statistics, etc paraphernalia for begging. Hollande with the "I'm not sure why I'm at this table" look. Merkel sort of playing referee. Guy to Putin's left, weasel, one to watch out for (Shakespeare's, he has a lean and hungry look). Woman to Hollande's left, probably just amazed to be there and thinking "where's Hollande taking me for dinner tonite?" Guy with the red tie, Brit probably and only supposed to observe hoping no one asks him a question.
