Ukraine has argued that its gas transportation system is a strategic asset. Business-minded people take issue with this interpretation, which ignores the commercial potential of the pipeline system. Now that we have come full circle in a long-brewing Ukraine-Russia gas war, perhaps the pipeline should be considered \u201cstrategic\u201d \u2014 if not in the way the Ukrainian authorities have long understood. The pipeline system, worth $20 to $30 billion, can indeed play a strategic and tactical role in resolving Ukraine\u2019s crisis with Russia, but only if it\u2019s sold off.<\/p>\n<p>Ukraine should sell 50 to 75 percent of it for cash to a consortium involving the EU, U.S. and Russia and operated by a U.S. business enterprise, preferably based in Houston. This can only happen if Russia agrees to remove troops and other proxies in eastern Ukraine and then works with Ukraine to secure the border and cease all low-intensity conflict efforts, including on the ground, and in cyberspace and the trade arena&#8230;.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Read more at <a href='http:\/\/www.economonitor.com\/blog\/2014\/06\/5-things-ukraine-must-do-to-become-energy-independent\/'>EconoMonitor : EconoMonitor \u00bb 5 Things Ukraine Must Do to Become Energy Independent<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>From OilPrice.com Gas supply, and the threat to that supply for Europe, is what has forced Russia to move aggressively on multiple fronts to defeat Ukraine in its efforts to modernize and westernize its economy, its future, and its way of life.
