**俄罗斯延长与乌克兰天然气协议**

俄罗斯总统普京已经批准了一项计划,将莫斯科与乌克兰目前的天然气协议延长三个月。

俄罗斯当局星期二,在去年年底达成的临时定价协议快要期满的几个小时前宣布了这一计划。

2014年10月达成的协议要求乌克兰政府在2015年1月到3月31日间以每千立方米365美元的价格每月在天然气交货前支付。俄罗斯能源官员最近表示,从4月1日开始乌克兰将支付348美元的价格。

Russian authorities announced the extension Tuesday, just hours before a temporary pricing agreement reached late last year was set to expire.

The October 2014 deal required Ukraine to make monthly payments in advance of delivery, with Kyiv paying $365 per 1,000 cubic meters between January 2015 and March 31. Russian energy officials recently said Ukraine would pay $348 beginning April 1.

尼日利亚当选总统布哈里说,尼日利亚“拥抱民主”,告别了一党制。

Nigeria's President-elect Buhari: Nation Has "Embraced Democracy"

Nigerian President-elect Muhammadu Buhari says his country has "embraced democracy" and put its one-party state behind it.

Mr. Buhari spoke Wednesday in Abuja, just hours after the electoral commission declared him the official winner of Saturday's presidential election, defeating incumbent Goodluck Jonathan by more than 2 million votes.

Mr. Buhari called Mr. Jonathan "a worthy opponent" and said he extends the "hand of fellowship" to the outgoing president.

President Jonathan's People's Democratic Party has ruled Nigeria since 1999.

Mr. Buhari, of the All Progressives Congress, is to be inaugurated May 29.

Nigeria's Electoral Commission chairman Attahiru Jega announced earlier Wednesday that Mr. Buhari had officially won the election, getting 15.4 million votes to Mr. Jonathan's 12.9 million.
