Gas wars down to the wire: Russia must respect the rule of law with Naftogaz executive director Yuriy Vitrenko
In order to grow Russia needs to respect the rule of law. Russia and Gazprom are upsetting the European energy security as they are ignoring rules and arbitration rulings they had agreed to respect.

Time has almost run out for Ukraine’s national gas company Naftogaz to cut a new transit deal with Gazprom before the old contract expires on January 1. The talks are going down to the wire, but Ukraine is calling on its European partners to have its back and hold Russia to account.
