After January's gas dispute between Ukraine and Russia, that saw gas deliveries to Europe suspended, European Commission President Jose Manuel Barroso said the EU was interested in uniting Europe's and Ukraine's energy systems.

Russia's transit disputes with its former Soviet neighbors have raised concerns in Europe about a dependence on Russia for energy supplies.

Russia cut off gas supplies to Ukraine on January 1 after failing to reach a deal over debt and prices for 2009 in late December, and later halted gas deliveries to Europe, saying Ukraine was stealing transit gas. Kiev denied the accusation.

Yushchenko also said in Brussels that Ukraine planned to install new gas measuring equipment and build new gas measuring stations as part of the modernization of its gas transportation system.

MOSCOW, May 4 (RIA Novosti) - Galina Rusanova, a Britain-based Russian artist, faces charges in the United States after allegedly attacking crewmembers when drunk on a flight from Los Angeles, British media reported on Monday. The plane, which was headed for London last Wednesday, had to be diverted to Maine after the disturbance, the Press Association said. The agency cited prosecutors as saying Rusanova, 54, began behaving aggressively after taking a cocktail of wine, prescription medicine and liquid soap. When restrained by air stewards, she lashed out, kicking and punching them. Prosecutors told a court hearing in Bangor, Maine on Friday that at one point Rusanova fell to the floor "snapping like a dog." She will attend a district court hearing on Monday, on charges of assault and interfering with a flight crew. According to the Daily Mail, which said Rusanova is "known in Britain as a respected artist, actress and author," she was interviewed by FBI agents after the incident, and explained to them: "It"s typical of me. I sometimes do crazy things." Rusanova told the FBI that she took the pills and alcohol due to her fear of flying, but remembers little of the incident. A flight attendant reportedly witnessed her sucking on a bottle of liquid soap taken from the plane"s lavatory.
