[May 24, 2014]  ST PETERSBURG, Russia (Reuters) - Russia's President Vladimir Putin said on Saturday that the western route to supply gas to China may be implemented faster than the eastern route if China is supportive.

Moscow and Beijing have clinched a $400 billion gas deal this week after years-long talks, which will help Russia to diversify gas supplies away from Europe, its main export market.
