Ukraine's state-run gas company, Naftogaz on Friday denied a claim by Russia's Gazprom that it had been stealing gas destined for Europe. "Naftogaz considers that any statement from official representatives of Gazprom about the unsanctioned siphoning off by Ukraine of Russian gas destined for Europe is untrue," Naftogaz said in a statement. The company also said such statements "damage the reputation of Naftogaz as a reliable transporter of energy to European Union countries."

A delegation of Ukrainian parliamentarians led by parliamentary speaker Volodymyr Lytvyn has arrived in Moscow to discuss the ex-Soviet republic's gas debt to Russia. Russian President Dmitry Medvedev said on Wednesday Ukraine must pay its natural gas debt to Russia in full or otherwise Kiev could face disruptions in supplies.
"We are not pursuing a goal of cutting off supplies," Medvedev said. "But if Ukraine fails to pay, we will use a whole arsenal of measures, there must be no illusions on this score, but we will fulfill our obligations to consumers in other countries, including Europe."

Prime Minister Yulia Tymoshenko called for President Viktor Yushchenko's resignation for covering up currency speculations. Tymoshenko insisted that Chairman of the National Bank Vladimir Stelmakh should be immediately dismissed, reiterating that the fair currency exchange rate against the dollar was 6-6.5 UAH/U.S. dollar. Tymoshenko is in a messy tug-of-war with Yushchenko amid a devastating financial crisis. At an annual press conference on Tuesday, Yushchenko also accused Tymoshenko of seeking to cement her grip on power. Both leaders have blamed each other for allowing the national currency to devalue by nearly 40 percent, raising the risk of a default among major corporations and banks.

Lorraine asks: My father came over to the UK in 1946 as a refugee after the end of the 2nd world war (along with many others) could you tell me why some people had to do this?

A lot of people from Soviet Union and Eastern Europe after World War II didn’t return to their homes because they could be repressed as enemies of the Soviet state. For example thousands of Soviet army prisoners of war released from Nazi Germany concentration camps were immediately transferred to Gulag (prison camps system) in Siberia.
