Another Putie apologist.
What part of "will sell annually natural gas at the price of 50 US dollars for 1000 cubic meters, which is not subject to change by the parties" don't you understand?

Spanalot common.
You and me know perfectly that it is lie by ommition. Y
ou carefully exclude your citation from context. So the sense is changed. I call it the manipulation. Who you want to deceive? Me?

The Ukranians say:

“During the period between 2005 and 2009 the Customer (Gasprom) will sell annually natural gas at the price of 50 US dollars for 1000 cubic meters, which is not subject to change by the parties, from the gas transportation services of Russian natural gas through the territory of Ukraine to ensure the gas balance of Ukraine.”

One cannot have a constant price for 4 years on one hand (Ukranians say) but have to renegotiate every year for price and delivery (you say Russian contract states).

What will happen is the world will be shown two contracts. Which will be the lie?

So, why the heck, every country in the region hates you so? Why all Russia neighboring countries wanted to enter NATO (now Ukraine) as fast as possible? ==

Vox_PL what do you want form me? How do I know why they "hate Russia" at all? I never heard it form them.
If they hate Russia as you say then I'd say they are stupid nothing more.
I think they probably hate not Russia but thier own mythes and prejudices about her. And they are not grateful people at least.
SO it is their problem not Russia's.

But now we have our mutual problem here. It si insecurity of gas transit = the ukranian thievery.
It is REAL problem which threaten the energy security of Europe.

If we TOGETHER will not make solve it wil not make order along transit pipeline then we BOTH will lose. It is what I know for sure.

The citation you showed is not from contact but form addition signed in 2004. The conract was signed in 2001.

the citation given is sniped form context. The matter it belongs to is about last year disapperings 7.8 blns of cubic meters of gas from Ukraine gas storage.
SO they dicided that Ukraine will cover stolen gas by pumping gas in futher yeras for Russia' tansit. That is why such clause.

Ukarnian propagandists today just try to deceive public that this clase about all gas for 4 years. But it is just about already stolen gas in 2004.

Just one thought. WHy if Ukarine has such unpenetrable clause in disposal do not go to arbitrage with it? Because the court is NOT propaganda machine and thier lies will be exposed.

Russians used to sign only longtime contracts, because they feel that only if they have such contract, they control their customers.

"In Hungary, gas firm MOL said its supplies from Russia were already down 25%. Gas pressure for Poland is down 14% CNN just said."

You know what that means? It's sad but it has to be said, it means Ukraine is stealing gas the western countries (EU countries) are paying for. As for the whole situation it's an obvious blackmail of the Russia govt.

Exactly. Th egas transit is NOT safe trough Ukraine. Russia and Europe need safer routes. NEP will be the solution of this problem.

STOP NOW UKRANIAN THIEVERY! STOP GAS TRANSIT THROUGH UKARINE!

It would take a team of lawyers to go over the fine print on the contracts.

I doubt that such things are in so fine print. Probably it is enough to get the story from each side and compare. It should not be too hard.

I can't do that, and regrettably, the press no longer does its job investigating this kind of story

I am sure there is plenty of sources available. Since we know the Ukrainian government side of the story, could someone provide the Russian explanation, preferably with some details and references?

I am not aware of Marx or Marxists being very interested in this topic. I suspect that your response is based on your ignorance of history rather than detailed knowledge of Marxist propaganda..

In 1066 the original English people got subjugated by Normans from Normandy. Normans first settled in Normandy as the result of predatory raids all over north-eastern Europe. Norman means North-man - a type of Viking if it rings the bell for you.

From the time of Norman conquest England became a two class society until now.

I was not aware that Russia/Russians are so hated. I think it is your wishful thinking.

There are many more things unavailable to fanatic Russia lovers than this.

Hmm. Love is better than hatred.

all that you want to do is to invade Ukraine militarily under this false pretext.==

WHAT?!!! BHAHAHAHAHAHAH!!))

Vox_PL you are quite novelist:). I would say that even me couldn't imagine such thing:)).

What for on earth I need those "hohols"? Let them be somewhere out of here. We in Moscow don't know what to do with illegals and protitutes from Ukraine. Police sent them back but after few days they here again. We don't have visa regime now unfortunately.

Russia are getting richer now. It is very stupid to conquer some millions of eaters which we will need to feed.
We nedd to get rid form them forever and with some more you knwo with whom.
We need money more money. We need them to pay europian price for gas and oil. Nothing more.

Let EU take them and feed them. Give them your subsidies and donations. They like it. We in Russia know it very well.
But please keep them do not give them back to us.

And one more request. Make the order along gas pipeline. Stoip ukarnina thivery or Russia will stop delivery.
Teach them not to steal please. You will do great help to civilization.
