Russia cannot be trusted. When they started to complain about Ukrainian bills they already had plans how to invade Ukraine.

If you sell gas to Ukraine, make sure you get the cash up front. They’re notorious thieves

Fact - Ukraine owes billions in past due payments for Gas from Gazprom. Some of the past due payments are 7 years old.

Ukraine also gets a special discounted rate from Gazprom.

If they’d pay their bills, they get their supplies.

When Polish company bought Lithuanian refinery Mazeiku Nafta (2006), suddenly Russian pipeline that supplied them got broken. They cannot repair this pipeline to this day. Russia use its pipelines to blackmail other states, their complains cannot be trusted.

Actually the Russians owe the Ukrainians billions. Russian Gasprom is shutting down gas to Ukraine because a Stockholm arbitration tribunal settled their lawsuits and has ruled that the Russian Gasprom owes the Ukrainian state owned gas company Naftogas 2.6 billion.

like I said fake news -

https://www.rt.com/business/414237-gazprom-naftogaz-stockholm-arbitration/

full truth is the arbitrator ruled the Ukrainian deadbeats need to pay $2 billion long past due bills plus suffer $600,000 daily penalty.

“” “” full truth is the arbitrator ruled the Ukrainian deadbeats need to pay $2 billion long past due bills plus suffer $600,000 daily penalty.”” “”

Ukeland is somehow schizophrenic isn’t it?
The President is raving about ‘Russian aggression’ day and night on media hoarding weapons and the lemmings are roaming the streets with torches lit in crowds.
‘Academics’ on TV are debating on how soon the ‘mighty’ Uke military would team up with NATO to march on Moscow to ‘clean to mess’ and ‘put drank subhumans to work’.

Now ‘subhumans’ refuse to give them free gas and they scream bloody murder.

I wonder how long would Poland keep with it?

Yes and the arbitrator imposed a 4.63 billion penalty on overcharging Russian Gasprom. Here’s the simple math: 4.63 Russian Gasprom penalty minus Ukrainian 2 billion Naftogas penalty equals Russian Gasprom owes about 2.6 billion to Ukraine

LOL

you didn’t read the article did you. The deadbeats said it was a victory because they didn’t need to pay $75 billion instead they needed to pay only a net $2 billion plus $600k a day penalty.

and that penalty still keeps piling up - because the deadbeats remain deadbeats

Yes, right. As if kangaroo court ruling means all that much.
Let’s see how it would end up a year from now with Nord Stream 2 in operation pumping directly to Germany.
I guess they would go back to caves wrapped in animal skins to chant about ‘jewish-moscovite’ plot with torches lit feeding on each other in process.

Ukraine is a primarily example of a nation run by treasonous elite which doesn’t care about their country even a little bit.

In 1992 they were better off than Poland and ten years later Mexico was doing better than them. In another ten years they were on par with Iraq and now there is Congo in sight.

Good job, guys.

President in Ukraine owns a media empire he promised to sell upon swearing in but never did. You should guess how the news are presented there. Not to mention everyone presenting alternative is immediately tagged ‘traitor’ and has a crowd of ‘patriotic’ swastika-clad masked men with torches lit by his place in no time.
