Vladimir Putin ordered the Russian state energy giant Gazprom to cut supplies to and through Ukraine amid accusations, according to The Daily Mail , that its neighbor has been siphoning off and stealing Russian gas.

Declaring economic war (which sanctions are) has consequences.
Flame away, Kievinistas!
