Russia, Ukraine and EU reach agreement on gas supplies - Video
Ukrainian Prime Minister Arseny Yatseniuk said in Kiev that the EU had agreed to serve as guarantor for Kiev in holding Russia to an agreement, notably on the price Ukraine would pay.
Yatseniuk, in figures later confirmed by Moscow, said Ukraine would pay $378 per 1,000 cubic metres to the end of 2014 and $365 in the first quarter of 2015.
He said Kiev was ready to pay off debts for gas immediately after any deal was signed.
A total of $1.45 billion would be paid immediately and a further $1.65 billion paid by the end of the year, he said.

Russian Energy Minister Alexander Novak insisted that Ukraine would still have to pay up front for new deliveries to see its 45 million people through winter. Moscow expects some $1.6 billion for gas to be supplied.
Some critics of Russia question whether its motivation is financial or whether prolonging the wrangling with ex-Soviet Ukraine and its Western allies suits Moscow's diplomatic agenda.
Ukraine is in discussions with existing creditors the EU and the IMF.
The gas cut-off has had little impact for months. But pressure is mounting for a deal as temperatures start to drop below freezing.

A Calgary woman is recovering from a long list of injuries she suffered when she was knocked to the ground by an unknown assailant in what she believes was a knockout game.
Chelsea Curran was leaving a nightclub in downtown Calgary earlier this month with some friends to look for a cab when a car pulled up to the curb.
She says a man jumped out, punched her, and then took off.
As a result Currans head struck the pavement, leaving her with two black eyes, a concussion, and whiplash.
She says she has no idea why anyone would target her, and wonders if she was a victim of the so-called knockout game a disturbing prank popularized in online videos where people punch victims unexpectedly.
Curran says shes speaking out in the hopes of protecting others from future attacks.
I just dont want it to happen to anyone else. Its been a pretty crappy couple of weeks. If I can prevent it, bring some light to it, so they maybe cool off or something.
The attack was reported to police, but Curran says she hasnt heard anything back about any progress in the investigation.
