Kommersant reports that Gazprom may compromise to some degree on the tariff rise if the Belarusian gas transit authority hands over control of the main gas routes to Russia.

If Putin does not vye to become CHAIRMAN of the Board of Directors at Gazprom (after his presidential career concludes)... HE'S CRAZY! Shrewd guy!

Gotta say this is no surprise. If Ukraine (and the rest of the CIS) thinks Russia is just going to let, what, 3 trillion cubic feet of natural gas disappear... they are dreaming. Others may disagree, but I am siding with Putin in all this. You can't keep milking the Russian treasury over there.
