"Russia, through its current actions in Ukraine, has exposed the post-Cold War order in Europe as the geopolitical equivalent of a financial bubble. We have enjoyed two decades of benefits from this order. But we did so under the illusion that it was nearly costless. Now we are finding out that there is a bill to pay."

The big news so far this morning:
Russian gas giant Gazprom has given Ukraine another week before it will start demanding prepayment for gas.
CEO Aleksei Miller is quoted by Russian news agencies as saying the deadline will be pushed forward to June 16.
Miller's comments come after what he described as "very intensive" EU-brokered talks. The talks are expected to continue later on June 11 in Brussels.
The two sides differ on how much Ukraine's state energy company owes and about the price Ukraine should pay for future gas deliveries.
Gazprom says Ukraine's Naftohaz owes billions of dollars and has threatened to cut off gas supplies unless the debt is paid.
Ukraine had refused to pay the gas bill in protest at Russia's decision to more than double the gas price -- from $268 to $485 per 1,000 cubic meters -- after pro-Russian President Viktor Yanukovych was ousted in February.
