俄罗斯总统普京已经批准了一项计划，将莫斯科与乌克兰目前的天然气协议延长三个月。
俄罗斯当局星期二，在去年年底达成的临时定价协议快要期满的几个小时前宣布了这一计划。
2014年10月达成的协议要求乌克兰政府在2015年1月到3月31日间以每千立方米365美元的价格每月在天然气交货前支付。俄罗斯能源官员最近表示，从4月1日开始乌克兰将支付348美元的价格。
Russian President Vladimir Putin has approved a plan to extend Moscow's current natural gas deal with Ukraine for another three months.
Russian authorities announced the extension Tuesday, just hours before a temporary pricing agreement reached late last year was set to expire.
The October 2014 deal required Ukraine to make monthly payments in advance of delivery, with Kyiv paying $365 per 1,000 cubic meters between January 2015 and March 31. Russian energy officials recently said Ukraine would pay $348 beginning April 1.
