You sound like a Russian who knows nothing about the law of contracts. "I know I signed it, but it's not FAIR! Boo hoo."
Actually I am an American and I have studied law. One would think you would know the agreement between Gazprom and the Ukraine was not a unilateral, but rather a bilateral contract. Under a bilateral contract both parties to the agreement are expected to perform according to the contract. In the Ukraine's case they agreed to deliver the gas through the pipeline crossing their territory, and they were paid for their service by Gazprom. However, the Ukraine has a long history of siphoning gas and selling it for market price to the EU. Furthermore, they have a poor track record making payments. Both of these were violations of the contract, which Russia was willing to take to the Swedish Court of Arbitration. Ukraine refused the offer of arbitration. Now, would you like to discuss legal contracts more in depth?

Sure, counselor. Let's begin by you explaining to me how I (Ukraine) can breach the contract, and refuse to let you take me to court. LOL
