If Ukraine shuts off EU gas, Vlad will shut of Ukrainain gas.
The gas is talked about but is moot. That movie has already been shown
That is the biggest issue between Russia and Ukraine. If you check the temperatures in Ukraine, they’re about at the point most Ukrainians could get by without the gas. The comment has been made that Putin has succeeded in doing something no one else in history has done. His actions have united the Ukrainians. Even the majority of the ex-president’s Party of the Regions are against Putin who is claiming that their man is still the legitimate president.
If that doesn’t tell you something about Ukrainian resolve, nothing will.
