Putin isn't responsible one iota for this situation. Someone missed the main point of the article. To quote, "Last month, Ukrainian officials accused Russian oil majors of conspiring to raise the price of gasoline and ordered a moratorium on prices, which the companies reluctantly agreed to after being threatened with court action. Sweet little Yulia Tymoshenko, the Gas Princess and embezzler, tells the Russian oil companies what they have to sell their product for in the Ukraine under threat of court order. I can't blame them one bit for cutting back on deliveries. Don't you just love the freedom the Orange Revolution brought to the Ukraine?
