Russia’s Prime Minister, Vladimir Putin, made what he described as a 'large-scale offer' to Ukraine on the 26 April 2010, urging both countries to merge their vast nuclear power generation businesses, and hinting that together they could benefit from joint electricity exports to foreign markets. The controversial offer is certain to be viewed by many domestic politicians in Ukraine as the most recent attempt by Moscow to strengthen its influence over Ukraine. Both countries’ lawmakers were due on the 27 April 2010 to hold a ratification vote on a divisive bilateral agreement on power supplies and military links brokered the previous week by the new Ukrainain Viktor Yanukovich and Dmitry Medvedev, his Russian counterpart. |
