Yes,that's my biggest worry.
There are pluses and minuses of the deal. A minus- price Ukraine pays for Russian gas has almost doubled, from $50 to $95, impacting economy dramatically; a plus- it's not the "world market" of $230; more of a minus than a plus- everything is in cash only. Russia pays in cash for transit, not with gas, reducing wastefullness and corruption in Ukraine significantly; but Ukraine is also paying in cash- no barter. A definite plus- an increase of anti-Russian sentiments in Ukraine. More pluses- new measures to save energy would be introduced- Ukrainians were most wastefull in the world; Ukraine less dependant on Russia; more Eastern Ukraine coal mines should be opened to cover the energy needs.

DO you think thay were not at highest before thgis crisis? Why do you think this crisis began?
Ukarien got from Russia about 4 blns of dollar anually and sametime provided anti-russian policy.
No it is at least just. Ukraine may continue her anti-russian policy but on her account now.
