From Russia... with Love?

Ukranian Prime Minister Tymoshenko and Russian Putin... Maybe if she loosened up that braid she'd relax a little bit.  We are deep in the midst of a crisis here in Europe.  Russia and Ukraine have not yet settled their dispute regarding gas flow through the pipelines from Russia to the rest of Europe.  Many European countries either rely on the Russian natural gas, or are at least 60%+ dependent on the Russian supplier.  As a result of the dispute between the two countries, Hungary is suffering.  Thus far, it hasn't truly hit me yet, save the fact that we cancelled a day of school to save in the heating, but many people are starting to feel the pinch.  Slovakia is 10 days from running out of gas, their solution is to fire up a Nuclear plant that they closed as part of the terms of their admittance to the EU.  Romania is suffering heavily, as is Bulgaria.  There are stories about this on the news every day, and yet there is still no resolve?  Keep your fingers crossed that this gets settled soon, as it is starting to affect the nation I'm now living in.
