Sorry that I was somewhat criptic in my "open market" comment.
I understand that $220-$230 is the market price. My main point of contention is that the Ukraine is locked in at $50 until 2009, but are willing to negotiate up prior to the expiration. Gazprom (Putin) is not willing and taking a hard line.
