| |
| Summary |
he Ukraine are suing Russia over the gas price increase. There has been a lot of rhetoric surrounding the lawsuit but after a lot of talking the Ukraine is holding ground.
| |
| Analysis |
The Russians have great oil supplies and run pipelines throughout Europe. Though the oil goes through several countries who are all charged for the passing of the oil. The Ukraine are currently being charged 355 US dollars per thousand cubic meters when countries on the other side such as Germany are being charged less. To be exact, Germany is being charged 200 US dollars per thousand cubic meters of oil. However, many countries such as Turkey, Poland, Hungary, and Romania, are being charged more than the 355 dollars of Ukraine. The Ukraine simply want better trade to promote economic welfare within their country as well as keeping a good relationship with Russia.
