Mix business and politics?

The Ukraine can go buy its gas on the free market ... just like everyone else.

Russia should not have to subsidise the Ukraines gas needs, especially since they have broken many international agreements in efforts to clean up Chernobyl.

Do not reward failure.

okay so they want discounts ,but refuse a merger. They are being two faced with Russia and Europe and they try to demand things. They said they will not (at least not yet) join the customs union, but they want Russia to stop the Nord stream and south stream pipelines. I have to say there is nothing more confusing then Ukraine.
