    • Abstract:
      The article offers information on the Ukraine-Russia gas dispute of 2008-2009. The dispute involves the commercial terms of Russian gas transit and supply, with Russia aiming to gain control over the energy assets in post-soviet countries while political figures in Ukraine deem the energy sector as a rent-seeking cash cow. The author's recommendations include stimulating energy efficiency, securing investments in upstream oil and gas and reforming the gas market.
