The Foreign Notes blog has posted a link to an assessment that made me jump out of my seat.

It is a brilliant analysis/assessment of a multitude of things, including the BIGGIE - energy, including energy in Ukraine.

Note the comments about Russia's ability to find "venal partners" (meaning those willing to be bribed) in the former Soviet space, gas storage in Ukraine, the gas pipelines in Ukraine, the Black Sea fleet, and what Putin is doing to try to control the New Neighborhood.

This is a brilliant, excellent analysis.

elmer - thanks but I did see it and so should others. I have sang the praises of James Sherr to the heavens for his incisive writing style, brilliance, wit, etc. It is always a pleasure to read any of his pieces written for Mirror Weekly as there are links to both eng and ukr versions. Bless LEvko for linking to it.

My home denomination has asked me to recommend to them the top 5 books that would be helpful to USAmericans going to Ukraine for a week and hopefully who will become committed to continuing relationships with Ukrainians.

Can you recommend this for me?
