In the shadow of gas strategies. Kremlin nuclear puzzle

Topics of energy security, security of supply, diversification of sources, routes and suppliers of energy in the European Union have acquired particular importance and priority. And not in the last two years against the backdrop of war in Eastern Europe, and since January 2006 - the first, the so-called Russian-Ukrainian gas crisis. So-called because that's the way this event is qualified in its time in Brussels. In fact it was the first large-scale act of aggression of Russia against the energy of Ukraine and the EU .... And against the European Union, too, because the significant limitations of gas supply took place, and on a number of EU countries. Moscow rather cleverly disguised his actions under business disassemblys. But behind the scenes of the Kremlin was a puppeteer. Masking worked. The second act of aggression RF power in January 2009, was also named in Brussels, the Russian-Ukrainian crisis. It is not surprising that the third act of Russian aggression - already complex character and hybrid - in the EU, too, is named was a Russian-Ukrainian crisis, or simply - in the style of Russian propaganda - "Ukrainian crisis."
