Article reports that Gazprom, Russia’s state-controlled energy giant, agreed April 2009 to waive hefty fines upon Ukraine, which purchased only a third of planned natural gas supplies up to April 2009 after its recession-battered economy shrank sharply.

An agreement was brokered on the 29 April 2009 between the two increasingly-friendly Prime Ministers - Yulia Tymoshenko and Vladimir Putin.
