DUBLIN--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Research and Markets(http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/0c144a/old_and_new_routes) has announced the addition of the "Old and New Routes of Russian Gas to Europe: Belarusian Scenario for Ukraine" report to their offering.
Gazprom's policy on bringing gas prices for former Soviet republics to the European level and implementation of projects on bypassing traditional transit states for Russian natural gas made Belarus agree to give away its pipeline system to Gazprom. Ukraine is about to make the same decision.
However, political cycles in Russia and Ukraine currently impose certain restrictions on the sides.
This is especially noticeable in the behavior of Ukrainian ruling elites that vitally need a confident win at the parliamentary elections after Yulia Timoshenko's imprisonment. The Party of Regions will be trying to ensure it at any cost. Meanwhile, the topic of the gas transportation system is still overly politicized in Ukraine.
