You shouldn't believe these things, though. The Ukrainians have been trying to make others pay for the maintenance of their pipelines for the past 15 years... Russia, Europe, the US. Anybody but them is good ;)

Fair enough. So why would the US be interested in investing in the modernization of Ukrainian gas pipelines?

What makes you think the US is interested in investing? It's only interested in yanking Russia's chain... and it works, no?
