Interessant sind vor allem die Stellen, wo Einblick in die
Verhandlungen und den Gasdiebstahl gewährt wird, worüber die
westlichen Konzern- und Staatsmedien wie gewohnt nur sehr
oberflächlich berichten und so getan wird, als gäbe es keine
unabhängige Überwachung der Gaspipelines(sgs.com).

Unfortunately, as you know, that was not the end of the story. At
about 7 a.m. on January 7 Ukraine shut off the last, fourth, pipeline
that carries transit gas to Europe. On that day Naftogaz changed the
operating mode of its gas transportation system and directed all the
gas flowing from Russia to meet domestic needs.
After that technological switch took place on Ukrainian territory, we
had a technical break. However, Russia fixed that break and resumed
the supply to the Ukrainian gas transportation system in the morning.
I have here a report on the readings of the gas meter taken by the
independent international organization SGS. You can look at it too.
It says: After the break operation resumed at 12:10. And when we saw
during the day that gas was not flowing out of Ukraine in the
direction of Western Europe we shut off supply of gas to Ukraine at
17:40, which has been recorded by the international organization. At
17:40 two pipelines, Progress-1 and Progress-3, were stopped. In this
context we believe that it is necessary to pass on to normal,
civilized, transparent market relations as quickly as possible.

S. Kanchani (RAI): Good evening, Mr Putin. Many analysts in the West
speak about political pressure on President Yushchenko. Are you aware
of this aspect of the crisis with Kiev? What is your reaction to this
criticism?
Vladimir Putin: I have just given you a detailed account of how the
dialogue went. If we buy gas from Central Asia at $340 per 1000 cubic
meters and offer to sell it at 250, what do you make of it? And yet
Ukrainian partners refuse to sign that contract. Do you call that
political pressure?
...
Charles Clover (Financial Times): I am Charles Clover from the
Financial Times. Mr Prime Minister, this is a very opaque situation
when two states make opposite claims. We don't know who to believe.
So far there is no proof.
Vladimir Putin: There is. Here it is. It is SGS, the international
organization that monitors gas supplies, and it says here in black
and white when gas supplies were stopped and when they were resumed.
Charles Clover: Are you sure that these international observers
confirm the Russian version?
Vladimir Putin: If you are not sure, sign the protocol, send your own
observers to the border between Russia and Ukraine and to the border
between Ukraine and Western Europe. Go ahead. Sit there and watch
from morning till night, eat salo (pig fat) and chase it down with
horilka. They have excellent pig fat in Ukraine. I guarantee. My
friends send it to me from Ukraine.
...
The Romanian chemical industry will be totally unable to compete with
the chemical industry of Ukraine if Ukraine buys gas at $250 and
Romania at $470.
...
I hope you will report this meeting objectively.

Am kriminellen Verhalten der Ukraine sind nicht zuletzt die
EU-Staaten selbst schuld, da sie zusammen mit den USA damals die
US-hörige orangene Mafia in Kiew überhaupt erst an die Macht
geputscht haben. Auch sorgen die westlichen Pipelineprojekte durch
Zentralasien dafür, dass die Verhandlungsposition der dortigen Regime
sich verbessert und der Gaspreis entsprechend steigt(von ursprünglich
50$ auf 340$) - auch für die Ukraine.
