MOSCOW (AP) - Russian news agencies say President Dmitry
Medvedev is proposing that European leaders come to Moscow for a
weekend natural gas summit.
Medvedev's proposal on Wednesday appeared to indicate that no
immediate solution is in sight for the dispute between Russia and
Ukraine that has blocked the shipment of most Russian gas to Europe
for more than a week.
The ITAR-Tass and Interfax news agencies reported that Medvedev
made the proposal during a meeting with the prime ministers of
Bulgaria, Slovakia and Moldova, who depend on Russia for almost all
their gas.
