Jamestown reports: "On July 8 in Prague the United States and the Czech Republic signed an agreement on a U.S. radar system on the Czech Republic’s territory as part of the antiballistic missile shield. On July 10 Russia’s oil pipeline monopoly Transneft announced that oil deliveries to the Czech Republic were being cut...Transneft did not mention the reasons for this deep cut and did not specify whether supplies would fully resume after July."
But don't think the shut-off contradicts Russia's pledge in the final communique from the St. Petersburg G-8 Summit. You remember, the part where the Kremlin agreed to uphold "open, transparent, efficient and competitive markets for energy production, supply, use, transmission and transit services as a key to global energy security."
Besides, that was two whole years ago.
