HA Ha Ha. What kind of company "buys" gas at 230 and "sells" at 90? It's all a sham to save Russian face.
Puty lost this round. And showed himself to be unreliable partner and bully.

It is ukranian source.
Accually Gazprom didn't take onligation to sell Ukraien at $95. It has to do by some offshore company RusUkrEnergo with capital of 10000 euros. So if tomorrow this company will fail it sobligations then Ukraine may ask Gazprom to sell gas at $230 (according new contract).
Now all the hope of Ukraine left on "the father of all turkmen" (Turkmenbashi) the big "democrate" himself. HE has to save the young ukranian democracy and gave up cheap gas:))))).
What if next half year he will deicide to increase his prices. What then?:))
Russia gave Ukraine the reach to Turmenbashi but she never obliged to give Ukraine cheap gas. It is matter for Turkembashi.
