Agree! The WSJ reported that the E.U. had no growth in the last quarter. Now you know why they want Ukraine in the E.U.

The Euro and the E.U. is on the brink of collapse. Now we know why all the war talk.

Ukraine wants to be in the EU and NATO to get away from Russia.

If cutting off Russian gas supplies gets them away from Putin and the rest of the Russians, then the sooner the better.

Ridiculous statement. They want the gas. They just don’t want to pay the fair market price. Their discount was huge. Fools.

Not ridiculous at all.

Russia wants and needs to conquer Ukraine. They use economics and debt to do so, along with the obvious invasions.

Why would you fund your enemy?

Getting away from Russian gas would be the best thing Ukraine could do to ensure freedom.

Sadly, there are some hard core Putin lovers here on this forum. No sense of history, liberty or logic will separate their fawning love for the shirtless Putin.

Fools? That is a word that best describes the fawning drones who have fallen in love with Vlad Putin and his gang of thugs.

Oooh...they have plenty of history, and they know exactly what they are doing.

Soviet Russians don’t belong on an American freedom loving site.

I’m convinced they’re on here to for comedic value.

You think Ukraine should pay Russia while their territory Crimea was stolen by force and the invasion of Ukraine continues in the east? They are at war with Russia and they are fools? Yea right!

How many trillions is Crimea worth? How much are all the dead Ukrainians worth?

Piss on Russia, bunch of murdering thieves.
