New Ukrainian PM backs gas deal

Ukraine's new prime minister has insisted that his government will honour its controversial gas supply agreement with Russia.

Viktor Yanukovych - defeated in the 2004 presidential election - said he would not seek to repeal the deal.

Ukraine agreed to almost double what it pays for its neighbour's gas this year, after a bitter price dispute which saw Russia cut off supplies for three days.

Former Prime Minister Yulia Tymoshenko has called for the deal to be reviewed.
