The second means additional impulse for conflicts between oligarchs. The third contributes to catastrophic dowturn of truth to the President and the fourth rises concerns over new claims of Gazprom to Naftogas of Ukraine with the aim to force Ukraine accepting the new old relation model under tacit consent of Europe.
