Cold War reawakens in Eastern Europe as tensions grow around Ukraine

July 8, 2015 July 8, 2015

About a year ago I penned some blog posts about the shale gas fracking deals which were made by Ukraine during 2013, prior to the revolution which ousted then-President Yanukovych.  There are large shale deposits in Eastern Europe, in Ukraine, Romania, Poland and the Baltic Countries, which are believed to be frackable.…
