To quote the editor-in-chief of Russia in Global Politics, Fedor Lukyanov, "Ukraine chose a tactic of deliberately creating a crisis through its rejection of talks and agreement, with the expectation that ultimately any major disruption of gas deliveries to Europe would hurt Gazprom's reputation as a reliable energy partner, supplier and generally speaking, as a company selling gas to Europeans. Everything that has happened after December 31 seems to me a delaying tactic ... We [Russians] are losing not a mere propaganda war but a real gas war ... It is not accidental that countries that have excellent relations with Russia such as Greece, Hungary and Bulgaria, which are among our main European partners, are experiencing the worst difficulties."
Actually, it is the very first time that European countries are experiencing a real shortage of gas ever since Russia's supplies began three decades ago. Lukyanov underlined, "Now, each single day of the crisis will distort the European perceptions, which would blame the Russians for everything."
so yea if you dont want to read just know ukraines gas was cut off because it stalled on renogatiating with russia. durin this time is stole some gas meant for europe to build up a reserve because they knew it would all come to a point where russia would cut off gas until ukraine really sat down and made a deal. while the gas was cut ukraine has been working hard to make russia look like some type of unreasonable bully, and refused to let gas get to europe while the bullshit gos on. ukraine and georgia, prospective NATO members, both big fuckin dumbies. i hope neither one of them get in until they can actually get their shit together. never works too.
8 minutes long may be quite the stretch to accomplish what im tryin to do here, but its worth the watch if youre interested by this so fuck it
