Russia-Ukraine gas row: politics or just business?

[hejterJ]

thanks Russia for shutting down the gas for europe. we are freezing now, but we are happy because western europe is freezing as well. Support from Serbia. :D

[oleksiyca]

You are welcome. We have no choice but stop supplying. USA have to help Ukraine to solve this problem by printing new money $.

[Stevelisf]

It was Ukraine who shut down gas delivery to rest of the Europe. I have no idea what is going to happen with us now.

[lordrango]

I REALLY hope that was sarcasm. No one in western Europe is freezing because they have reserves that can last them through the entire winter. So, they don't care that much will this be resolved in days, weeks or months. On the other hand, Serbia has reserves for a couple of days, and after that is gonna be very cold, probably with electricity cuts because people will start using electric power for heating and we don't have enough electricity for that. If they don't make an agreement soon...

lol russia doesn't worry about you at all.

russia isn`t gentle than u expect.

[JohnNash82]

hejter J, say thank U to Ukraine. They made this crisis. I'm sure 100%

[hejterJ]

yes, I realized it's Ukraine's fault.

[rumpole33]

if this tension keeps happening every year, then why not build another pipeline that can handle the capacity through another route? ukraine owns the land with the pipeline. russia doesnt. either work with them or sidestep them. friggin eastern european thinking. the definition of craziness is doing the same thing over and over again and then expecting a different result.

RT гавноканал , жалкое подобие bbc времен холодной войны . А по сабжу , этот весь цырк с переговорами и с показательными выступлениями на ОРТ и НТВ - чистиой воды политика ( только тупой и убогий может думать по другому )

[irinka71]

При чём тут политика к НТВ? Просто надо платить за полученный товар. Просто бизнес. Ничего личного. А вот у Украины труба - ну просто чистой воды политика. Прям национальное достояние. Кончится всё тем, что продадут трубу Европе, России или Америке.

Why can't you just paid ,and let EU live with gas?

[bohivka]

its all made by two governments artificially! they give people an illusion, lie about both of nations.i am ukrainian, and i have a lot of russian friends. they are great people and not different from ukrainian people at all! i think we should live friendly with each other, and dont look back!

[ghagas]

[crocolix]

[freakzila10]

ukrainian nationalists that spread hate about russia should demand nothing let them go chop wood and heat there homes,.

[irinka71]

The Ukrainian nazis should burn in a hell and boil in a copper with pitch. And the copper with pitch will be warmed up by the Russian gas. Russia for the sake of it will allocate free of charge gas :)

[YurkoKurko]

PashaGolikov Stfu you Moskal jew...Ukrainian and all people have every right to live (this was in winter), just because someone is late does not mean they deserve the death penalty, they should pay on time but that does not mean it is right to shut off gas, they can just put it on the next bill

[irinka71]

The Ukrainian population pays in time. And here the authorities of Ukraine do not wish to pay in time. But Russia is not obliged cares of the Ukrainian population. It is a duty of the Ukrainian authorities. Therefore to the claim show Yushchenko and Timoshchenko.

[PashaGolikov]

They don't pay the price, we don't deliver product, simple as that.

They don't like the price?? They are free to choose another source of oil.
