Quoting reliable sources, the journalist writes that according to the strategic agreement reached between the two countries, Russia would allocate at least $5 billion loan to Ukraine and set $200 per 1,000 cubic meters of natural gas for this country.

(Currently, Ukraine pays more than $500 per 1,000 cubic meters of natural gas to Kremlin.) Lucas said that one of the points of the agreement is Ukraine’s agreement to join Customs Union in the future, i.e. by the presidential election in 2015.

British journalist’s reports haven’t been officially confirmed yet. It is forecasted that if confirmed, the internal conflict in Ukraine will sharply escalate, a state of emergency will be declared, the country will face bloodshed and the threat of real breakdown.

Viktor Yanukovych met with Vladimir Putin in Sochi for 6 hours on December 6, after returning from China.
