Ukrainian nationalists are threat to EU's energy security!

Hello!

It's a thousand pities, but we have to admit that European Union is nowadays dependent of Ukraine in view of its Russian gas transit role. What is also no good for us, Ukraine is a very, very unsteady country and we actually don't know what to expect of it. Among other things, there is a very strong nationalist Lobby in Ukraine that is bent on making Ukraine independent of energy supplies. So, for example, they insist that Ukraine takes to using only bio-fuel instead of petrol and gas. Even though Ukraine has got vast agricultural lands, the "orange government" does not seem to be dragging heels, which is certainly done not without reason (they may be scary of mass protests and hunger).
However, as Ukrainian nationalists see no reaction, they cease blandishment and turn to terror. For the first time it happened a few days ago. In the Kherson region, a driver of a minivan ran into a gas-distributing point which caused drop of pressure in local gas main line and cut off gas supply of a good half of the Kherson region. The driver said he did it by inadvertency but the police think different. What might be their next target? What if Ukrainian nationalists attack transit gas pipelines? How do we get Russian gas in that case? Something should be done to Ukraine!
