(Adds details about Slovakia in paras 4, 5)

MOSCOW, January 20 (RIA Novosti) - Ukraine's gas transit system started receiving Russian gas for Europe at 07:24 GMT on Tuesday, a Gazprom spokesman reported from Russia's Sudzha gas exit point.

Following Sunday's talks between the two country's premiers, Russian energy giant Gazprom and Ukrainian energy company Naftogaz signed on Monday a contract on Russian gas supplies to Ukraine for 2009-2019.

"They [Ukrainians] are ready to open the taps for gas transits to Europe. On our side, the pipe has been under pressure since January 13, when Gazprom was ready to start gas supplies to European consumers," Gazprom CEO Alexei Miller said at a meeting with Russian President Dmitry Medvedev.

Around two hours after Russian gas began to enter Ukrainian pipelines, supplies to Slovakia resumed, a source at the Velke Kapusany gas entry point said.

"Slovakia is reporting an increase in the pipeline pressure. Gas has started to arrive," the source said.

MOSCOW, May 10 (RIA Novosti) - A Russian oil tanker was attacked by pirates in the Gulf of Aden on Sunday but managed to escape with no casualties or damage, a Russian shipping company said. The Liberia-flagged tanker, the NS Spirit, with the 22-member Russian crew, was sailing from South-East Asia to a Persian Gulf port with 36,000 tons of gasoline on its board. It was attacked at 1:00 p.m. Moscow time (9:00 GMT) on Sunday while passing through the Gulf of Aden, the Novorossiysk Shipping Company said. The Novorossiysk Shipping Company and the tanker owner, Novoship, are integrated into Sovcomflot, Russia"s largest shipping company. "The crew timely detected a boat with armed people, which was moving towards the vessel and made two preventive salvoes with onboard fireworks. The NS Spirit crew immediately got in touch with the Admiral Panteleyev missile destroyer staying 15 nautical miles away from the tanker," the Novorossiysk Shipping Company said. A helicopter then took off the Admiral Panteleyev destroyer to help the tanker. "Thanks to competent and decisive actions by Novoship sailors, and also swift interaction between the tanker and the Russian Navy ship, the pirates ceased their chase. All the crew members are fine and are ready to continue their voyage," the shipping company said. Since the start of this year, almost a hundred vessels have been attacked by Somali pirates. A number of countries, including Russia, have deployed warships to protect the Gulf of Aden. As of May 5, Somali pirates were reported to be holding 17 ships and some 300 crew.
