uh oh, if the ukrain does not pay, do tanks roll in to collect
Ukraine is only taking what Gazprom committed to - I dont know why this is not being reported by the MSM.
“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.”
jb6, you'd probably be interested in this.
It's strange how the Ukrainians havent outright refuted the allegations. Does this mean no more gas for Ukraine? If they've been siphoning off gas, maybe Russia will embargo them.
