esolving the disagreement between Ukraine and Russia over gas prices could take days, the European Commission has said.
"Maybe in next days, not tonight," EU energy commissioner Guenther Oettinger said, talking about a possible deal.
Russia had threatened to cut off gas supplies unless Ukraine paid its gas bill, which runs into billions of dollars, by Tuesday.
Talks between the two countries ended early on Tuesday without an agreement.
The EU, which is brokering the talks between the two countries, said they would resume again on Wednesday.
Russia pulled back from the Tuesday deadline after European Commission officials said negotiations would continue on Wednesday.
