Comrade, you have it backwards. The Russians are the aggressors here and the thug government is Putin’s!!!
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.

It boggle the mind at how stupid some people can be.
Putin expresses deep concern for his brothers in Eastern Ukraine. He’s so upset about their plight, that he has just doubled the cost of natural gas to them.
And you know what, some idiots here will miss this entirely, to explain how justified Putin’s actions have been. Why he’s only protecting the Russian’s interests...
If Ukraine had unilaterally raised those prices, Putin would have invaded. Then folks here would have said it was justified. Now Putin does it and you still get the odd comment talking about how justified his actions have been.
JHC folks, buy a freakin’ clue.
