Ukraine wants membership in the EU, which Russia opposes.

Ukraine provides gas transport from Russia to the EU, so Russia cuts off the supply to show the EU where their gas comes from.

The EU will probably squash Ukraine's bid to join the EU in order to keep the gas flowing.

Do I get this right?

Ukraine's prime minister has said his country has the right to take 15% of the remaining supplies in the pipelines

It means that EU will be getting 85% of what it should get. This problem can be easily solved, European countries need to buy 18% more that they need and everyone will be happy including orange friends.

Could be series, what with the Ice Age descending on Europe.
