DW published a very good cartoon of "Any Stream" gas pipeline project of Vladimir Putin.
As Mr Putin said at a recent
press conference, "we are ready to consider any [gas pipeline] project".
Apparently, Gazprom is ready to build any export pipeline
regardless of political and financial conditions. Note, that the
Russian part of South Stream was built ahead of schedule at the cost of above $13 Billion. Major contractors happened to be
close friends of Mr Putin.
