KIEV (Reuters) - Russian natural gas flows to Ukraine have been stable since Dec. 9, when Gazprom resumed supplies after a six-month gap caused by a price dispute and unpaid debts, Ukraine's gas transport monopoly said on Thursday.

"The supplies are stable and Ukraine received 42.8 million cubic metres of Russian gas on Dec. 9," Ukrtransgaz spokesman Maxim Belyavsky said.
