Why is it an “aggressive move” when Russia is simply cutting off the billions of subsidies it gave Ukraine? It’s how Nation leaders work to get people at the table to negotiate....The EU isn’t going to give them oil....there’s no time if not impossible to do so.
Are you watching the trade agreements TTP and others?...Just standard operations to use resources as leverage on the world stage. Ukraine is not exempt from that.... EU made their move on Ukraine.....and this knowing it would shake oil distribution. The EU/US are not doing more for Ukraine then stabilizing it and positioning it for their own purposes....certainly not Ukraine’s interests.
Ukraine got played, and is still being played like a pawn on a chessboard.....it always has. Similar to the Palestinian issues....Ukraine will always be a “hot spot” politically....the reasons we see playing out currently.
When you see Putins development plans for Crimea, which for years has been ignored by Ukraine....and then you see EU’S plans in Ukraine you see mostly it’s about stabilizing the Government and trade with EU. Not building it’s country back up.

Nonsense. They were never any subsidies. They were just bribes to keep the lease on their bases in Crimea. Now that Russia has invaded and annexed Crimea, there’s no need for any more bribes. It’s as simple as that. You’re right, this isn’t an aggressive move, the aggressive move was stealing the territory in the first place. This is just a logical follow up move.
