No, there was no “non-payment” by Ukraine, but the gas got shut off when Ukraine protested against arbitrary rate-raising by Russia.

I’m very sensitive to anti-US sentiment by both Germany and Russia, particularly in the economic sphere, and there is a lot of anti-US propaganda in the air in both of those countries. Historically, any cooperation between them has been a precursor to war.

That is what Ukraine is saying.

Who are they going to war against and over what?

Congress is working overtime to produce more bad blood.

Once again Poland has LNG terminal and free to buy from US at +50% the Russian rate. They might add another +50% for transit fees and pump it to Ukraine at twice the price.

Germany thinks otherwise and you should respect it. And by the way Germany is linked to Polish and Baltic LNG terminal and has its own too. Beat the Russian price and it is all yours.
