"The signing of the deal does not remove all the problems surrounding the price of gas for Ukraine and transit fees. I think the conflict will be a protracted one, but Europe is relatively safe now."
I think Ukraine is at loss. this conflict has hurt and will keep on hurting Ukraine. But If you think ukranians didn't like us before the will freaking love us now.
Unfreaking beliveble we used to be two brother nations. Thank you Gorbachev,go to hell.

Romania receives less 30% gas from Russians. Why? Because Ukrainians steals gas paid by Europeans because they didn't agree with Russians. Do you consider this state act as a terrorist state? Who is actually Ukraine and what is the deal with European Union? :quoi

All I can say guys these problems are politically motivated. I’d like you to read British observers who explain why Gazprom is only political weapon in the hands of current regime.
I don’t think it’s collision between Ukrainian and Russian nations as it is given by Russian zombie box. But this is very obvious conflict between Putin’s regime and Ukrainian democracy.
Is Ukrainian democracy perfect? Is any other democracy perfect? Definitely not.
But the thing is we elect our rulers, we have political rights, we have opposition, and we have independent media. When Russian will have this everything the conflict will be exhausted. Or Russia will turn to standard democracy or Ukraine will turn to back to typical post-soviet dictatorship as Russia or Belarus.
The irony is Russia was democracy previously and Ukraine was dictatorship previously too. So we know the stuff, guys, and we can compare.
We can’t go back either we have gas or not. Liberty and gas are incomparable values. The best Russian can do is to kick off the own dictators and begin the new people’s civilization again. There is no honor to be full up slave whose existence depends on bunch of daddies so finally you ought to grow up.

(For example, somebody pays a ticket through the transit country (Ukraine) with luggage by train so this transit passenger shall be ready to loose 10-15-25% of the luggage, or not?) :banghead
dear friend, dont confuse luggage with Gas! two completely different things!
using gas for the motors to pump gas has been proven to be practical and economical, also it is in the contract russian Gasprom pays Ukraine in cash and also in gas that is used to pump it. Russia called the contract off, and now all of a sudden it is illegal to use mainstream gas to pump gas... the system was designed to work excactly like this.
and btw, Ukraine Paid all its debts already.

Anti-MAx wellhouse Wrote:Exactly Putin for the well-being of Russia
This is must be pretty silly wellhouse. The Putin got billions fooling silly boys like that. While puppies belive he works for beggary he earns billions in numerous massive corruption schemes. Rusukrenego was directly controlled by Putin and all incomes of Russian side got to his deep eager pockets.
This is just another explanation. Lillyputin lost one of his secret business. Now his fidel well paid boys cry on forums.
Re: Does anybody care about Russia-Ukraine gas conflict? - Truth - 01-13-2009
Rusukrenego is created by request of Ukraine as a part of transit agreement. The 50 per cent own by Gazprom and 50% by Yushenko and Temoshenko.
Russia does not need Rusukrenego as a mediator, it is Ukraine who needs it!
Ukrainian government makes good money for their private pockets!
Is Gazprom which halted pipes a terrorist company? - Max - 01-13-2009
At the moment Russian company Gazprom admitted the cut-off was made in Russia. Euro commission supports this and urges to drive appeal exactly to Gazprom. In spite of problems with transporter the seller had no right to halt supply to consumers.
During the conflict Ukraine took away on so called “technological” gas for compressors. A the moment transit of Russian gas via our territory is illegal but it is executed due to EU obligation - Ukraine signed Energy Charter of Europe.
Abused EU customers of Gazprom have to drive appeals exactly there, accordingly to decision of Euro commission.
Is Gazprom a terrorist company? Definitely yes.
Re: Does anybody care about Russia-Ukraine gas conflict? - Max - 01-13-2009
Rosukrenergo is created on demand of Russian side in 2006. The 50% belongs to Gazprom, 5% belongs to FSB officer Chuichenko who is advisory of Putin and 45% belongs to Dmitry Firtash.

Gas War – Winners and Losers
Just a short comment – this thing is far from over. Natural gas supplies from Russia to Europe should resume on January 13. But there is still no agreement on how much Ukraine should pay Russia’s Gazprom for gas in 2009. Expect more trouble. The last thing Kiev wants to really talk about is “world market prices.”
Who won and lost during this ridiculous exercise? As far as I am concerned, this is easy to discern. Those of us following events knew that Ukraine would probably pull a fast one at the last moment.
Kiev has tired the world over its “defense against the Russian bear.” The smart money understood all along that the “orange” regime is corrupt and playing upon Western prejudices against Russia.
Overall, Ukraine is the biggest loser. It refuses to grow-up and get with the program understanding current energy realities. Kiev steals cheap Russian gas and then re-sells it to Europe for a huge markup. Those days are coming to an end. And now the EU is watching. I don’t know how many, but the “gas princes” and “gas princess” of Ukraine have seen the end of almost a twenty-year escapade of theft. Billions of dollars were stolen – and virtually not a single person ever held accountable. Russia knew about this all along – now the EU is waking up to why this is a cold reality for some of its eastern European members.
At this point, the EU is a marginal net winner in all of this. It wanted to continue to bury its head in the sand for the sake of Ukraine’s so-called “Western orientation.” Brussels has learned the hard way that Ukraine is on the edge of being a failed state on its borders. Kiev has the power to literally freeze the EU in winter. This was demonstrated over the last week. Russia certainly can no longer be said to be doing the same.
Gazprom has lost tens of billions of dollars of sales to Ukraine through all of this. Ukraine is now on notice. Pay up and pay on time just like everyone else.
How has Russia come out of this? On the one hand, its market logic has shown to be correct. No one can get a free ride and everyone must pay their own way. But Russia’s Gazprom remains challenged when it comes to media relations. Gazprom is a company in the right through all of this. Why can’t it explain this to Western media in a coherent and convincing way? When this changes, we won’t go through this comedy of errors again.
Stay tuned – more to come…

One of Gerhard Shroeder employees... So why Euro commission urges to drive appeal about gas halt exactly to Gazprom?
The experts which work now in Ukraine and Russia admit gas can't be cut in Ukraine technically. The seller just avoided execution of obligations.
And btw real problem is there is no gas in Russia for export at all. Gazprom should simply declare the dafault and just.

peter pan Wrote:there is no gas in your illness dreams
Uhhm real Peter Pan would write "ill dreams".
The main Gazprom fields are exhausted, Yamal doesn’t give enough and never will, they only buy Turkmen gas and re-export it. They simply lack own output. Gazporm now makes only speculations.
Official lack of gas in Russia is 3%, unofficial 30%. So they try to reduce the export.
Say D-E-F-A-U-L-T

Ukraine blocks gas after Russia turns taps on - Telegrapher UK - 01-13-2009
Ukraine blocks gas after Russia turns taps on
A spokesman for Ukraine's state gas company Naftogaz said that it had blocked the transit of gas to Europe after it was turned back on because of "unacceptable transit conditions" imposed by the Russian energy giant Gazprom.
European Union monitors confirmed that "little or no" Russian gas was flowing to Europe despite the resumption of deliveries by Gazprom a week after it turned off the supply in a dispute over prices.
Gazprom, which is controlled by allies of the Russian prime minister Vladimir Putin, accused the US of orchestrating Ukraine's actions. "We believed yesterday that the door for Russian gas was open but again it's been blocked by the Ukrainians," said Alexander Medvedev, the deputy CEO of Gazprom, who also claimed that Kiev and Washington had signed an agreement to the detriment of Russia.
how long Ukraine are allowed to sabotage the gas transit?
