Abstract
Russia moved dramatically in May to improve its position as the main transit country for Central Asian gas and oil.

This was a blow to Europe's hopes of new pipeline arrangements through which Central Asian supplies would bypass Russia. While questions remain about the likelihood of implementation, the agreements would increase Europe's dependence on Russia for energy supplies.
