Russia says gas cut won't hit EU

Russian energy giant Gazprom has renewed a threat to cut off gas supplies to Ukraine - but said it will not hit deliveries to Western Europe. Russia and Ukraine are continuing talks to resolve a dispute over gas prices, which Gazprom wants to quadruple. Gazprom chief executive Alexei Miller said there was a "detailed plan" to ensure that supplies transiting Ukraine to the EU would not be disrupted. Gazprom is threatening to cut off Ukraine's gas at 0700GMT on Sunday.
