Russia's President Dmitry Medvedev (L) speaks with CEO of Russian gas giant Gazprom Alexey Miller during their meeting in the Gorki residence outside Moscow, on Jan. 11, 2012. Ukraine said yesterday it would cut purchases of Russian gas supplies by half, drawing loud protests from Moscow and raising the spectre of a fresh energy conflict between the two uneasy neighbours. Russia hit back, saying Ukraine had not agreed the move with Russian gas giant Gazprom, indicating Kyiv could face stiff penalties.

Since the chemical and metallurgic industries are owned by billionaire oligarchs, why didn't they upgrade

these these industries themselves? According to net worth estimations they certainly must have the means
