Medvedev says no gas to Ukraine until documents signed

RIA Novosti
Friday, Jan 9, 2008

Russian President Dmitry Medvedev instructed the Russian energy giant Gazprom on Friday that gas supplies to Ukraine should be resumed only after the necessary documents are signed.

“Of course we are interested in gas transit resumption as soon as possible. But nevertheless I would like you to be guided by my instruction in solving this task: all these actions could be performed only after the documents are signed,” Medvedev said at a meeting with Gazprom CEO Alexei Miller.

“We will never stop the theft by any other means,” the Russian president added. “Unfortunately, [we] have no more trust in the Ukrainian side.”

Miller said a document formalizing the mechanism to guarantee Russian gas transit through Ukraine could be signed on Friday, and then the Russian gas supplies would resume.

“We hope that a protocol on establishing an international independent mechanism to ensure transit of Russian gas via Ukraine will be signed today, and we will resume deliveries almost at once,” Alexei Miller said.

The European Commission’s energy spokesman Ferran Tarradellas Espuny said however Ukraine will be able to ensure gas transit to Europe in 36 hours after Russia resumes gas supplies. He said that Russia could start delivering gas in 13 hours and the Russian gas would reach the EU member states in at least three days.

Why should Russia give it away? They have spent billions on infrastructure, and have put in the sweat and equity to pull the gas out of the ground; and they are willing to sell their gas. The Ukraine low balled them on price, and the Ukraine also need to pay their past bills. If Russia wants monitors, get monitors; even better, as monitors will contribute to the transparency of the whole deal. If other European countries don’t want to be held hostage by the Ukraine, they should consider building direct pipelines to Russia for their gas.

Good to see someone understands the situation. Even during the Cold War, the Soviet Union had no troubles delivering gas. Only after the break up when Ukraine came into existance did first troubles come to light. Anyone who knows Russia, understand contracts and following rules in business is important for them. Examples, Stalin sent a train load of supplies ordered by Germany even after Operation Barborosa commenced. In a MacDonald’s in Russia, you have to pay for each packet of ketchup, its cheap, but they talley prices of everything and follow strict rules. With this problem, the Ukrainian government particulary the USA using the puppet from a colored revolution orders the crisis. That way they can say Russia is unreliable source or energy so they can push energy projects beneficial to America. Also, Ukraine has their own interests in subsidized energy prices. Their industries compete with Russian industries. Their mining and ore processing plants use a lot of gas. So it isn’t hard to convince this Yushenko, who the people hate, to create these problems.

Just to put a thought ou there … What if ” Ukrained will use this to purge its Acceptance into EU or Nato” ? As in blackmail in the mianstream news that EU has to sign to save all the precious lives due to clod tempetares. Once Ukrained become a part of of the NATO … well you saw what happen when Russia reacted to the Poland anti-balistics.

Nick T. January 9th, 2009 at 10:51 pm, Europe will never accept Ukriane into NATO. They realise that the governments of Ukriane and Georgia, just like americas, are extremely corrupt(yevshenko has a 4% approval rating, makes bush look like a hero).Last year the Ukrianian government bought gas from Russia for $198 per cubic metre, but sold it to its own people for $320 per cubic metre(can anyone say ‘corruption’). It is unfortunate for the Ukrainians that this kind of shit has been happening for years. The whole push for Ukraine and Georgia into NATO was one of bushes grand ideas for his fellow corrupt crooks, but the Europeans caught wind of it yonks ago, and have staunchly opposed it as it has nothing to do with their interests, but american interests, and only creates trouble in their region, not to mention their critical trade with Russia. Expect nothing but the poor Ukrainian people(@75% who are pro Russian by the way) to once again get shafted by their leaders incompetence and racketeering, and perhaps a ‘green’ revolution next time at the polls.
