Situationen i Ukraina just nu.

Ukraine, backed by the EU and the U.S., is seeking alternative gas sources to cut dependence on Russia, the world’s biggest gas exporter, Prodan said, adding that he plans to meet with Chevron Corp. and Royal Dutch Shell Plc tomorrow, both of which have shale gas projects in Ukraine.

Six international traders have shown interest in supplying gas to Ukraine, and the country may buy gas in Europe for $388 to $400 per 1,000 cubic meters, Prodan said. The country may be able to import 20 billion cubic meters of gas from Slovakia using a pipeline “in reverse,” while Ukraine may need to import about 30 billion cubic meters of gas this year in total, he said.

Naftogaz has until May 7 to pay for its April supplies from Russia, giving Ukraine time to complete financing deals with the International Monetary Fund and talks with Slovakia, which would ease the pressure, Paraschiy said. “The situation can change, so a compromise with Russia is still possible.”

---the Federal Security Service (FSB) had detained a Ukrainian citizen who had arrived in Russia most obviously for organizing the guerrilla war.
“The so-called Ukrainian leadership is making direct threats of what they call a ‘guerilla war’ on the territory of Russia and a question arises in this connection on whether or not we’re ready for this,” Ovsiyenko said.
“A man who had arrived from Ukraine with a huge arsenal of munitions and explosives - quite possibly, for translating those threats into life - was detained in the Moscow region several days ago,” he said.---

“According to the information from the secret services, the terrorist acts were due to take place from March 14 through to March 16 in the Rostov, Volgograd, Tver, Oryol, and Belgorod regions, as well as in the constituent republic of Kalmykia and Tatarstan,” the report said.
“A total of twenty-five persons including three activists of the Right Sector (Ukraine’s ultra-rightwing radical organization - Itar-Tass) were detained,” NTV said. “They admitted they had been receiving instructions from Ukraine’s Security Service.”
The scope of their tasks believably included gathering the data on redeployments of army vehicles in the parts of Russia adjoining the border with Ukraine and establishing contacts with radical organizations in Russia, the report said.

The Ukrainian Security Service (SBU) has described the information circulated in the Russian media about the alleged arrest of a group of Ukrainian citizens on suspicion of preparing subversive activities in Russia as "nonsense".

"We do not comment on nonsense," the SBU press service told Interfax-Ukraine on Thursday.

Earlier, the press service of the Right Sector party also called the claims of the Russian media that their party activists were among the detained Ukrainians as rubbish.

Senior Fellow Igor Sutyagin at London’s Royal United Services Institute says he is not surprised that such forces have been mentioned and that several Berkut officers have been arrested. But he says early indications that most of the shooters were from Berkut are probably not accurate.

“I have some doubts whether it was exclusively Berkut, and whether it was mainly Berkut, because the radio communications intercepts show that there were Security Services snipers participating in that," he said. "Well, they were not alone, so there were probably, there might be Berkut snipers as well.”

Two groups of 24 and six FSB agents lived in an elite Kyiv suburb, Koncha Zaspa, between Dec. 19-23 and Jan. 26-29. Nalyvaichenko says the SBU paid for their stay, provided them with security and made joint plans for the EuroMaidan crackdown of Feb. 18-20.

Moreover, 26 FSB agents were present at an SBU shooting range on Dec. 26, he alleges.
“We want to ask the Russian authorities what their names and ranks are and the exact purpose of their stay,” said Nalyvaichenko.

In addition, on Jan. 21 and Jan. 24, two airplanes from Russia delivered 5 tons of grenades and explosives, including ones that shoot from grenade launchers. Nalyvaichenko said an inquiry has been sent to Russia’s Defense Ministry.

It was the SBU’s anti-terrorist Alpha Group, according to Nalyvaichenko, who stormed the House of Trade Unions on Feb. 18, which housed the revolution’s headquarters. It included a makeshift hospital, a kitchen, press center and sleeping rooms for the protesters.

Protesters fled the buildings because it was set on fire, and Alpha Group, who had taken over top three floors of the building, had to flee the same way it came – through the roof.

Seven Alpha Group snipers were also stationed near the Maidan on Feb. 18 at 7/11 Khreshchatyk Street and 6 Kostolna Street. The same group of seven snipers was engaged on Feb. 20, the bloodiest day in Ukraine’s independent history, but near the presidential administration, said Nalyvaichenko. Each time they were armed with German-made Blaser sniper rifles.

He wouldn’t say whether they had ever fired shots at protesters. Avakov added that many suspected former Berkut and Alpha Group officers are hiding out in Crimea “where they pose a national security threat to Ukraine.”
