what happened in those talks from moscow?think it depends totally at the moment whether europe is willing to cough up the money that ukraine owes russia for the gas that it hasn't paid for yet, at least that's what president putin was saying. he said there have been brood conditions reached for renewing the supply of gas to ukraine. but this has certain conditions. one of these is that ukraine prepays for the gas that it is going to be using, hence for, and also putin was suggesting that it's europe who is -- who has got to step in and back up ukraine, because ukraine clearly doesn't have the money to pay for it itself. >> how much brood progress was made when it comes to other issues between russia and ukraine? >> reporter: well, not much. i think it's fairly safe to say that there were some fairly tough discussions going on between the two presidents, and other european leaders here assembled in milan as well. and when president putin came out to make his press briefing a short while ago, he was conciliatory, he was smiles,

why is moscow taking this particular line? >> i think because the view from the kremlin is an unstable refrain with an unstable east where russia has significant influence is to the benefit of the kremlin. that is the way to maintain instability, and that means in the kremlin's view, the way to maintain a hold on ukrainian politics, which seems to be slipping away from mosco's creek. it i a way to create a permanent instability element. >> let's talk about that separatist area. the outcome on sunday will almost certainly be a resounding endorsement of the pro-russian parties. what difference will this vote make in the end? >> in the end, that will contribute to the moscow position, which will be telling kiev that it has to talk to the people who are now as legitimate as their rival is. in a sense, it is an attempt to create an alternative legitimacy for the separatist forces in the east. there is no doubt that the crane has -- ukraine has a legitimate president and now a legitimate parliament. all the separatist leaders came e

let's get more from rory challands live from moscow. what is moscow saying about the deal?porter: moscow is saying there has been a rough agreement reached between poroshenko and putin about how to keep the supply of gas going at lease through the winter, not really talking any further forward than that. what putin was saying was that they have agreed to a price. they are sticking by the -- or at least russia is sticking by the condition that ukraine has to prepay for all of the gas it will receive, and of course, it has to pay for the gas that it hasn't settled for so far. that's going to be the issue because ukraine clearly doesn't have enough money to pay the billions of dollars in outstanding gas receipts and putin was saying that he is k looking to europe to step in. the european commission, european union to help ukraine out with the amount of money that it still owes, because ukraine will probably bankrupt itself if it were forced to pay that itself. so somewhere to go, and poroshenko has been a lot more cautious in saying this is a specific agreement. >> all right.
