Not going to stop Yuschenko and the other ''leftist-liberals" from living like Kings, when they continue to de-value the Ukraine's currency and survive off foreign aid.

Russia gives a 20% discount to Ukraine to start the gas flow (http://www.russiatoday.com/news/news/36049)

Russia’s Prime Minister Vladidmir Putin and his Ukrainian counterpart Yulia Timoshenko have finally reached an agreement on gas transit.

“In the course of our negotiations we have managed to achieve an understanding that Russia and Ukraine will switch to the European pricing formula in our natural gas trade.”

“At the same time in 2009 we'll make a 20% discount for Ukrainian partners – on the condition that Russia retains a discounted tariff for the transit of its gas to Europe through Ukraine’s territory in 2009 – that is the same tariff paid in 2008.”

“At the same time we have agreed that starting from January 1, 2010 we'll completely switch to European pricing formula both for gas supply and for transit,” Putin said following the talks.

“Indeed, our talks were not easy, but we were able to reach an agreement, which will allow us to sign all the contract papers. We have instructed Naftogas and Gazprom chief executives to prepare all the paperwork no later then Monday according to the understandings we reached in our talks today”.

“Also immediately after all the papers are signed all gas supplies to Europe will be fully restored,” Timoshenko agreed, adding that “the day was very fruitful, and the summit that convened today yielded results”.

“The Ukrainian side has assured us that the transit will be restored in the nearest future,” Putin concluded.
