Ukrainian President Viktor Yushchenko (R) and Prime Minister Yuri Yekhanurov listen during a meeting on gas issues in Ukraine's capital Kiev, January 2, 2006. Russian gas monopoly Gazprom said on Monday that Ukraine had stolen around 100 million cubic metres of gas bound for Europe on January 1, local agencies reported. Kiev said it was not, but that if temperatures fell below freezing it would start to siphon off gas as payment for transit fees. REUTERS/Mykola Lazarenko/Pool
