All,

See note from Lawrence below. This boils down to 2 questions:

1) is Burisma supplying those regions and 2) would Burisma's supply come into play if the Ukrainian govt tried to use energy as a "weapon" against separatists?

While I think we can likely brush aside the second question in some form, we should know the status of the first before we get back to him.

Can you advise on status of those leases? Your board presentation indicates the Crimean assets are not producing but does the same hold true for the Esko leases?

Many thanks in advance.

Ryan

He noted that while we said operations haven't been affected by conflict, he wants to know if supply in that region is being delivered to people in the disputed and breakaway areas and if so if that presents a diplomatic problem. If Ukraine is using energy as a weapon, would they cut off supply to disputed areas thereby increasing tensions and would this impact Burisma's operations?
