Europe face energy rethink amid Ukraine/Russia gas tension

Ukraine is under fresh pressure to repay it's gas debts to Russia after President Putin wrote to European leaders this week about an unpaid bill of 3 and a half billion dollars.

Ukraine is expected to pay the sum in advance or risk haviung its gas supply cut off from Russia.

The prospect has sped up high level talks in the European Union about a potential energy crunch, with ministers meeting this week to discuss scenarios.
