Ukraine Looks to Canada for Nuclear Energy Help - by Lee Berthiaume
Ukraine is actively searching for alternative energy supplies to avoid another energy crisis, and Canadian nuclear technology and expertise could play a big role, the country's foreign minister said Monday. On Jan. 1, 2006, Russia cut natural gas to Ukraine, through which a quarter of Europe's gas is supplied–just over a year after the 'Orange Revolution' that saw pro-Western president Viktor Yushchenko take power.
While Russia said the dispute was over gas prices and Ukraine's refusal to pay, critics alleged the move was intended to keep it from leaning too far west.
