The UK already tried and convicted MP's for fraudulent dealings over their expenses and were put in prison. So if Tysmoshenko was proved guilty why all the blackmail over signing the agreement with Ukraine and demanding her release.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8086033.post-17135468529609587492011-11-18T07:42:33.556+02:002011-11-18T07:42:33.556+02:00Right, it had nothing to do with the fact that Ukr...Right, it had nothing to do with the fact that Ukraine was stealing gas and had not paid their bills.

Why? is the ultimate question.<br /><br />FTA with EU is a joke and tariff/quota rates are so asymmetrical its beyond laughable. They published some of them as a carrot "if Ukraine does the right thing". Problem is oligarchy needs cheaper energy costs AND market access to Russian market AND Eu market access. Something is got to give. My feeling they want to join the Russian customs union but present it in a way as having no choice, the trade barrier rates are inching up towards the end of the year and next year they go into full force so there is one aspect of it at least.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
