Ukraine expects gas talks with Russia as deadline looms


KIEV (Reuters) - Ukraine said it expected to resume talks with Russia on a gas pricing dispute on Sunday evening, with a deadline looming for Kiev to pay a $1.95 billion debt by Monday or have its gas supplies cut off.

Halting Russian deliveries to Kiev could disrupt the gas flow to the EU, which gets some of its imports via Ukraine, but prospects for a breakthrough have been hit by clashes between government forces and pro-Russian separatists in east Ukraine.
