Russia Wants to Merge Gazprom and Naftogaz of Ukrain

Russia has offered to Ukraine to create a single company on the basis of Gazprom and Naftogaz through the exchange of shares between the largest by market capitalization in Russia and much inferior to it by the size of Ukrainian gas monopoly.
 
"We talked about integration in the nuclear field. We offer the same thing done in the gas sphere. I propose to merge Gazprom and NAK of Ukraine", - said the Prime Minister Vladimir Putin , who incidentally promised Ukraine $ 500 million loan from the Russian State Bank VTB

Ukraine called these proposed merge "Putin's offhand", but promised to think about it.
