The 2014 Ukraine catastrophe once again exposed the mutually restricting knot-a web of oil and commercial relationships and gas pipelines - that historically tied the European Union and Russia closely. In this crisis, a familiar conundrum bemused heads in the hallways of power in Western capitals: how to compel Russia to respect the Western geopolitical preferences without damaging European allies?

Executives of Russian and European energy firms present their viewpoints.
