Gazprom threatens Ukraine gas cut

[RusExeMachine]

F U C K  U K R A I N E !!!!!

[charivnuk]

Maybe Russia shouldn't be making sharp price hikes and shutting off the gas supplies to a country when they need to transport 80% of their exports through that same country. Not really that smart when you think about. Either learn to play nicely with the Ukrainians or start building a lot more pipelines somewhere else. Your choice entirely. Just stop whining about it.

Ukrainians realized that if you want to play in accordance with world market prices let's charge you world market transit fees.

[seseljsrs]

Your arguments are very poor.

Ukraine paid gas at less than 1/4 the world market price for 15 years. Paying 1/2 the world price is not an unreasonable demand, far from it.

Pity UKR has such a stupid leadership that it cannot see the benefit of paying half the price that the rest of the world pays.

[polygamous1]

n they will build a pipe line elsewere n then what will u do burn u r furnitures for heat? n after? maybe america will transport the gaz free for you n i hope Russia takes back what's hers the crimean it was won with russian blood n bravery n was given to u by a ukranian what right he "gave" u what was never his? Russia don't need u But u NEED Russia remember that over 80% of ukrainan don't want nato BUT u r "demogratic" gov said yes some fucking demogracy

[gorillagirlgorilla]

what a bunch of ignorants F**Ks.

Russia has to look at its own interest and is being very generous from what i see.

I can canadian and has no alegence to anyone but i can clearly see russia owes europe nothing and if they feel fit, they should shut off gas permanently if ukrane doesnt pay properly or tries to steal gas.

[gic33]

Gazprom is the toy that Mr putin uses to try control Europe and Ukraine but he doesn't know that the game is over

[daduia]

Putin & Medvedev & Russia lies they always did, they always hate USA , Nato and EUROPE,

Russia want's to control Europe, i hate the country Russia.

they dont care about anyone they let european people die.

Russia is prue evil.

[Amazzzonka007]

Poland is SHIT, Russia is the best!

[SSjGenki]

germany is best you fucking russian asshole!!

[NetlD]

Russia already fucked Germany in 1945, shut up.

[Amazzzonka007]

warprec0rds, ha ha ha ha!

[Amazzzonka007]

Ah, so creepy!!! I will faint now!

Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha!!!! S.O.S! Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!

Fuck you!

[Globalizator1]

warprec0rds - you have serious form of schizophrenia - national Polish genetical desease.Come here stupid thing I'll give you an injection.

[Simaz12345]

Putin lies that he want sell gas directly to Naftogaz.I think that he is liar because when he was at KGB school he has learned how to lie.I now because Tsar Putin has created the very same scheme in other country.The scheme: He create intermediate company and than he will sell gas to this company.Than intermediate company would rise prices for gas and than sell directly to the national countries companies. The profit goes to intermediate company.These money are used for bribes.Very simple.

[Globalizator1]

"ruskie gówno" - thats all your Polish brains can generate?

[Novgorod1990]

ты сказал полную чушь, этот трубопровод не так дорог и окупит себя бустро, просто мы не хотим больше спонсировать враждебные режимы, пусть американцы им газ по 200$ продают, а от нас это продажные шкуры только по 450$ и ни копейкой меньше...

[StMarcus00]

Москалi закрили газ, щоб померзли пiськи в нас!

Не ведiться ви на це, бо зaгрie нас сальце, шинка, мясо i ковбаси вci рiздвян прибамбаси.

В дупi бачили ГАЗПРОМ, всiх вiтаeмо з Рiздвом!

[deniskamu]

Мощно. Некоторые слова Google-translator даже не переводит.

[Compantino]

Szemét egy ország...

[Globalizator1]

You are real POLE dumb.We didnt cut of gas ,Ukraine cutted it off.Alternative resources - from your shit?

[Jack6U]

ну один пиздеж газпрома о том что это на територии Украины перекрыли газ на Европу уже доказан , жду продолжения ))))

[Stevelisf]

Cant wait the Nord Stream to be finished. So those who wants to bitch with Russia can do it without getting us involved in it.

[EmptyMind33]

Its was a task from Washington D.C. to puppet "president" Yschenko to distroy this gas line.

[wodanowitz]

I'm not blaming russia, the fault is Ukraine.

[Nicolabgd]

bravo rusi braco srpska... prekinite svu isporuku gasa i nedajte europljanima da se greju neka pocrkaju bez grejanja... a mi Srbi smo navikli da nam je hladno kao i vi tamo :D samo neka europa pati

bravo Russians Braco srpska ... stop the delivery of gas and nedajte Europeans that greju some pocrkaju without heating ... and we Serbs we are used to give us the cold as you there: D just let europe suffers

[daduia]

Russia sales weapon to Iran, Iraq, Afghanistan ....

Russia [wage]War against Chechenya and Georgia and maybe soon Ukraine..

Russia is against U.S.A and NATO ...

Russia don't care about EUROPE..

Russia is prue evil, just see what they do to every country in Europe, freeze them to "Death"

Don't come here with your propaganda, it's not Ukraine's fault you will see even in future Russia always have issue with NATO and EUROPE and other countries....

[EnzoMatrix11]

to wodanowitz

look gas from Russia goes to EU through Ukraine. In 2008 it was gas for Ukraine + gas for EU. Now Ukraine has debt and new contract has not been concluded, because of Ukraine's conditions. That's why gas goes only to EU. But it's fact that EU states get only part of gas. Ask yourself now where is another part?

[dgrakovsky]

Ukraine give Russia its money!

[1985355]

Russia is the best

[tarasov12]

Почему здесь по-английски, а не по-русски общаются? Здесь 45% из России, 25% из Украины, остальные - эмигранты. 2% - просто любопытные, которые русского языка не знают, но Россию ругают всякими "ASS", "FUCK" , etc.

Для англоговорящих ASSes (задниц) полно других веток. Брысь отсюда к CNN, BBC и т.д.

[wodanowitz]

Europe is far to dependent on GAZPROM. This is a dangerous situation as Russia can do what ever it want's to do. Good enough, some european countries know this play allready and have only small amounts of Gazprom gas.

[wodanowitz]

EU countries paying for Gas and what does Gazprom? He cuts down deliverment. If they have trouble with Ukrainia, they shall solve the problems with Ukrainia, and not by harming the countries wich pay for the gas.

[Stevelisf]

Ukraine was the one who cut off gas delivery to Europe then Russia stopped gas to Ukraine. Ukraine doesn't want to solve that problem. They want Russian gas for free or for low price. Now Ukraine just steal our gas what a bitch country.

[wodanowitz]

YES, Ukraine is a motherfucker country. Assholes and Gangstas! Fuck Naftogaz !!!

[vodkins466]

wodanowitz, do you have any ideas how Russia can solve this problem if Ukraina even do not want to speak? Maybe you have to go to Ukraina youself and check all pipelines to prevent them stealing your gas?

[wodanowitz]

vodkins466, russia should build a pipeline wich does not cross Ukraine. I am sure, EU will pay this new pipeline, that would be a solution.

[minarkst]

wodanowitz, you talking about "Nord Stream" project which is already started. This system will transport gas directly from Russia to EU throw the pipeline under the Baltic sea, but some countries that wants a free natural resources and easy money for gas transit will make all for blocking this project.

[wjli2]

Russia is trying to subdue its neighbours by controlling the energy supply during winter....... i guess as the energy resources get depleted in Middle East, Russia would probably come to dominate the Energy Resource market.........

[IonutFlacara]

Russia is supplying gas to Ukraine but Ukraine is selling it illegal forward to other countries, that is why the war in Georgia was mainly + weapon trade, well money. USA wanted to build gas pipeline through Georgia, but Russia didn't want to see its money getting stolen by Americans.

[zistinka]

It is a pity to me of Ukrainians:(

[rus218]

As far as I can see Ukraine doesnt want to be our brother anymore. 'Brotherly countries' do not behave that way to eachother. Ukraine will pay up or freeze, its their choice!

[Wolkenteiler]

Ukraine is almost dead - and nobody cares

[tarasov12]

The price for gas for Ukraine was 180 USD. The price for oil dropped in 3 times. It means that the price for Ukraine for gas must 60 USD. EU can pay 500 or 1000 USD (if they want). It is the EU problem. Ukraine can stop gas transit from Russia to EU in 1 hour. Dont forget about it.

[rus218]

If they do that they can forget NATO, EU and all contacts with Europe. Its more Europe's problem than ours. If Ukraine does so then Russia wont get money and Europe wont get gas. We'll be poor and Europe will freeze to death.

[tarasov12]

Ukraine should receive gas from Russia at $ 60. Ukraine and Russia are brotherly countries and Ukraine should not pay as much as Germany or France pays.

[rus218]

The enjoyed cheap prices of that brothership for almost 20 years now, enough is enough. Ukraine should and will receive OUR gas at the prices that WE make. They will pay as much as Germany and France or else freeze to death. They managed to ruin our brothership in less than 10 years. There is no stop of the anti-Russian propaganda in Ukraine. Provocations aswell. Their collaboration with georgia, NATO aspirations and naming streets with names of nazi-collaborators are just a few examples.

[Novgorod1990]

Братские народы не обвиняют друг друга в геноциде, не стреляют друг в друга в грузии и чечне, не предают в конце концов, вступая во враждебные военные союзы...

[wjli2]

Russian made an example of Georgia for its attempted defection to the EU, through a little armed conflict........ Russian is trying to make an example of the Ukrainian through energy embargo..... that is geopolitics for you....... Russian is also trying to fire warning shots at the EU regarding its incursion of its former Soviet Union territory.......... Russia got the whole of Siberia to play energy politics......

[mer3abec]

Dud, when you buying something in supermarked you paying money ? And you pay the price on the ticher . Right ? Ask supermarket to give it for free? If no stolen it. So you will be Ukrain.

[wjli2]

Russian right now is supplying the Ukrainian government with Gas at below cost, every cubic metre it ship to the Ukrainian, the Russian is making a 15% loss..... because Russian is supplying the Ukrainian using mostly its own gas, rather than the gas from Turkmenistan, which have also risen by 40% in wholesale........ Gazprom is actually making nearly no profit from the Ukrainian.......

[Novgorod1990]

ну вот вы им по 60$ и продавайте, а наша страна не намерена спонсировать враждебные антидемократические режимы

[BOBODEKAT]

why they do that newyears day? that are people too!

[SFLegacy]

well why not? Ukraine still has some reserve to last till March/April, plus they nullified the current contract and didnt meet the debt obligations, so what do you expect diplomacy?

[BlueLotusPagana]

I hope Yuschenko steps down or is forced out by the parliament. I'm an outsider to this mess, but I've watched enough of this to figure that this guy is not only as unpopular as Bush is over here, if not more, but that he will sabotage his own country to play "victim" just to get into NATO or the EU.

[SFLegacy]

You right they guy has done nothing! The corruption is sky rocketing in Ukraine. We wanted to go there for new year to see our sister. She said dont bother, its not like beofre you can go into town safely, people getting mugged, flats getting broken into and kiddnapping. Thats was in Dneprapetrovsk.

[andy477]

President, and 90% of parlament

just DISFUNCTIONAL retards, just blinded by money grabbin' bug but the worst is tHat PPL SEAMS TO BE HAPPY, COZ they just don't do nothng to change the situation

[andy477]

HOW CANIT BE THAT AFER SO MANY YEARS OF LIVING TOGETHER , WE JUSTS STARTED TO HATE EACH OTHER , WERE IS YOR PRIDE GONE, WHAT THAS HAPPEND TO RESPECT ,

i know what, its just bunch of wankers is runiing Ukraine now, and no one can come up with the proper tool, AK 47 , not to shoot, but but to make sure te job 's gettin 'done

[daduia]

damn Russia, they hate everybody and destroy for everybody.

[vodkins466]

daduia, are you blind or living in cave? Why you dawn Russia? For that Ukraina stealing gaz and not paying their depts? You are so funny!

[fastestlapsDOTcom]

russians are retards

[Linsteadite]

Why don't Russia install a pre-payment meter like they have in the UK. That way the Ukrain can pay as they go and even turn it settings up for the pre-payments to recoup the debts.

[oxion812]

In Ukraine it will be fast a default (depreciation of national currency) and it cannot pay off for gas, advance payment especially.

[SFLegacy]

Even so with more loans from IMF the currency devaluation is very likely and in the long run, the privatization of national utilities can happen aswell.

[Dudtz]

RianovostI?

[MySimon25]

FUCK RUSSIA WITH HER OWN GAS! Ukrain can live without corrupted russia!

[Darki881]

MySimon25: LOL Is Ukraine a paradise for you?!

[oxion812]

If Ukraine or someone else does not like the Russian gas he can not buy it, all very simply and is no need to shout in all throat that Russia bad. It is pleasant buy.

[dimidrolgreb]

Only with the more corrupt USA.

[somethingboring]

If it can, it should pay for it's gas, and not steal it from Russia and Europe.

[paulsviplist]

This is the solution.

All the people in the Ukraine can just move here to the United States.

This way they can be free and buy all the gas they need at a cheap price.

Lots of people from the Ukraine live here and they are very nice.

[NiNDz4aaa]

lol

[powerz26]

CHEAP ???????????????????

you're telling me we're selling them expensive gas??????? they buy our gas for 175$

AND the same gas we sell to europe for 340$. YET they can't pay their debt and go cry as usually that we use oil as a weapon or somethin... fucking ukrainian government must stop acting shit and shouldn't think that the US is always going to back them up.

[oxion812]

In the USA gas is cheaper only because a dollar exchange rate above rouble, and here a course of the Ukrainian grivna below rouble and dollar.

[paulsviplist]

I will give you one US dollar for one of your roubles.

Do you want to make a trade?

[oxion812]

No. Then give I to you 10 000 roubles, and you to me 10 000 US dollars!

[paulsviplist]

They should use solar power and ride bikes to work.

people need to use some of the other forms of fuel.

[jerseyflex238]

Maybe Julia Timoshenko could do some work 4 gas??? i think she have did it but Putin said "na its not that good" when she visited moscow several times.

[manhattanwombat]

haha ukraine is pathetic

[konkacccp]

if Ukraine depends that much on Russia for energy, why do thet want do join NATO, why this anti-Russian movement, why do they bit the hand who feeds them?

[igorvasilevsky]

Because USA gave Ushenko order, that's all. All that they want is to make conflict between Ukrainians and Russians. But no one puppet can do it, because truth with us.

[GodFather363]

Новый год "на" Украине пройдет без огонька

[majstorjoe]

Ukraina wont a free gas from Russia on one side and on the other side wont to be part of a NATO (anti Russia alliance). Russia said no money no gas no NATO no USA missile on Russian borders!!!

I and my peoples from Serbia suport mother Russia !!!!!!

Zivela Rusija !!!!

[myronzee]

Russia has become a deadly place for journalists who run afoul of government officials or their business and political partners.

[igorvasilevsky]

Oh, CNN/Faux say you this things? LOL

You are another crazy nationalist, who don't know ANY facts) Don't be LAZY, try to find some truth))

[myronzee]

Information came from BBC

[jerseyflex238]

thats no better ! in like 2004 one of BBC's journalists got killed because he found out truth about british and Us's needs in Iraq)

[perkele0079]

Cut those recalcitrant fucks off!

[leibgvardia]

Ukraine wants to present itself as an independent European nation, equal to France, Germany or Italy, but it does not want to pay market price for gas like they do. Ukraine believes Russia owes them a discounted price. Cant have it both ways in politics.

[myronzee]

RT  russian propoganda

[Linsteadite]

myronzee, you pissing into the wind. Why would Russians want to use western media corporate propoganda against their own people.

[igorvasilevsky]

myronzee

Oh, as I see you are Ushenko's fan. On of those 4 % morons who still support this criminal puppet. Good luck in spreading your idiocracy and such bullshit like "bla bla bla propoganda") LOL

[kibabiba]

And what so? The given information is truth. I make my own opinion.

During the georgian conflict your CNN, FoxNews and others showed their real face. They knew the truth and still lied to people.....i stopped watching them.

[igorvasilevsky]

Ukrainians puppets are funny. The salary of gas for Ukraine is 179,5 $. For other Europe - 400 $. And even after this they don't pay for gas, playing yourselves in US Media as "victims of Russia evil Bear, who don't give gas for their "brothers"". Jushenko is criminal and must sit in prison! Immediatly!
