Russian-Ukrainian relations soured following the Orange Revolution in 2004. During the gas dispute between Ukraine and the Russian group Gazprom at the end of 2005, the state group demanded that Kiev pay the world market price for natural gas. Kiev categorical refusal led to a suspension of supplies of this strategic resource. Finally, on 4 January 2006, the Ukrainian government reached an agreement with Russia on a new price formula, with Russian gas at the international rate being mixed with that of the Central Asian countries, which is significantly cheaper. The Republic of Poland has become Ukraine most important economic partner in Central Europe as its mentioned in the Map of Ukraine and surrounding countries. Ukraine is the second largest country to which Polish exports went. As of 2008, the joint Ukrainian-Polish cooperation program in the field of science and technology included more than 150 joint research projects.
