09-01-14 Ukrainian Highly Unpopular and Antirussian president damaging Russian gas industry. Govts of Suffering European people refuse to put pressure on the Criminal Bushs puppet who ordered to steal then block transit of Russian gas to European consumers in order to hurt Russia - historically brotherly country that he hates. No transit country has the right to take consumers hostage Putin Russia says that Ukraine is deliberately blocking the resumption of gas supplies to Europe through its territory. Gas supplies to at least 15 countries have either been cut off completely or severely reduced, while Europe is gripped by harsh winter weather. Gas war chronologyNone of the transit countries have the right to abuse its transit status or to make use of it and take European consumers hostage, Russian Premier Minister Vladimir Putin said. On Wednesday Putin hosted talks outside Moscow with his counterparts from Bulgaria, Slovakia and Moldova some of the countries worst affected by the dispute. Europe's dependence on Russian gas We would not like to clarify now who is right and who is wrong because we are not interested in the Russia-Ukraine bilateral row. We are pressing Ukraine as well. And I have told the Ukrainian Prime Minister that Ukraine is losing the trust of its European partners, said Prime Minister of Slovakia Robert Fico. Fico has urged Ukraine to settle the gas conflict as his countrys current gas supplies are limited to the next twelve days. If the situation is not resolved, an unprecedented crisis would hit Slovakia, according to Fico. President Medvedev has proposed to hold a summit of European countries that are consumers of Russian gas on January 17 in Moscow. We must discuss two issues: first we must put an end to this crisis and make Ukraine take all the required technical steps to re-start the transit. And second, we have to find a way not to be taken hostage again due to the political situation in another country, Medvedev said. Medvedev added: I have invited Ukrainian president Viktor Yushchenko to come as well, but I haven't got his reply so far. Ukraine is blocking Russian gas flow to Europe - Gazprom Gazprom CEO Aleksey Miller said that from January 1 Gazprom has lost $US 1.1 billion of profit that would normally come from gas exported under its contracts with European countries. Russian President Medvedev said on the matter: Our country and a leading company cannot afford to lose such an amount of money in the current circumstances. There can be no more gifts. Those responsible, those who are to blame, must pay compensation for all this money, for all these lost profits. Miller said that on Thursday his company was only able to pump 1.633 million cubic metres of gas, but this fuel didnt reach the European consumers as Ukraine was still blocking it from passing it further on. "Ukraine has been and will be a reliable transit country, and it has not taken a single step to block Russian gas deliveries to the European Union," Yushchenko said. Meanwhile, Ukraines Party of Regions is demanding the start of impeachment procedures of Ukraines President Yushchenko and that Yulia Timoshenkos Cabinet resigns immediately. The leader of the Party of Regions Viktor Yanukovich will propose the motion at the Ukraine parliaments plenary session on Thursday. Its impossible to hear the truth nowadays. We have been given promises, sweet words, but now the authorities are afraid to look the people in the eyes. We need to create a special commission in parliament, which would investigate our governments criminal actions during the gas dispute, he said. No gas since January 7 On January 7 2009, Ukraine shut all four pipelines that send gas to Europe, causing several countries to run out of fuel. Before that Ukraine was stealing the Russian gas bound for European consumers, according to Gazprom and the results of an independent monitoring by a national resource analysts group from Switzerland. After that Russia made a decision to stop gas supplies via Ukraine to prevent the illegal siphoning.
