...on supply of natural gas to Ukraine and its transit to Europe is a joint victory for Ukraine and Russia, according to Tymoshenko's web-site. "It is comforting to note that we have good victories because in 2009 we were able to sign a long-term contract, until 2019, on Russian gas deliveries to Ukraine, and the transit of Russian gas via Ukraine to Europe. It was a breakthrough in our relations in the gas sector and today we are both fulfilling this contract. And it is very important that you, as a strong country, are meeting us halfway in order to take into account the crisis conditions, and for the gas contracts to be implemented taking into account the effects of the crisis" Yulia Tymoshenko said during the Fifth Meeting of the Committee on Economic Cooperation of the Ukraine-Russia Intergovernmental Commission, which is...

Signing of gas contract is a joint victory for Ukraine and Russia [For UA - 1 hour ago]

...a steelier voice on Iran, warning that its refusal to accept the offer of enriching its uranium overseas could trigger international sanctions " within weeks ", and he claimed that his twin-track approach of negotiating while ramping up pressure was attracting extraordinary international unity. Extraordinary unity? The administration needs China and Russia to get fresh action approved by the UN, but the Chinese president Hu Jintao, made no public mention of sanctions at all, while the Russians have been deliberately vague, and their military establishment continues to regard Iran as a good neighbour. The deep reservations of both Moscow and Beijing about sanctions are likely to make the next round symbolic – travel bans, rather than anything affecting oil and gas. There is little iron inside the velvet glove. China is more likely to stand firm on North Korea, but Mr Obama's determination to isolate a regime which lurches from firing rockets to negotiation could be scuppered by the need to deal with an approaching famine there. Towards the end of his tour, the US president showed welcome flexibility over the hated American military base on the island of Okinawa, but then triggered a great row back home with the misconstrued low bow to the Japanese emperor. China used Mr Obama's appearances like an exotic foreign film, dubbing over his critical utterances on human rights and currency misalignments and turning up the volume for the warm words. So China got what it wanted; the remaining question is whether Mr Obama got anything in return. There was no bankable pledge to revalue the yuan, only a commitment to working closely in partnership on economics, climate and Iran. This slow-burn diplomacy is valuable, but it is no substitute for cutting deals in the political-capital stakes. No one expects the waters to part when Mr Obama arrives. His difficulty in making headway reflects the miserable foreign policy legacy of George Bush. Afghanistan's continuing military stalemate continues to weaken the American hand. The pressure to show solid results is rapidly building, but Mr Obama must not allow it to force him into rash muscle-flexing, which will lead to a familiar destination of more conflict. Mr Obama needs to hold his nerve and stay true to his instincts.
