The US neo-nazi, “destroy Russia”, project known as Ukraine is falling apart by the day.
It was only six months ago when Obama, in his infinite foreign policy wisdom, decided to collude with Saudi Arabia to drop the price of oil in what was an all out assault to crush the Russian economy, and ignite a neoliberal, Conchita Wurst/George Soros colour revolution in Red Square. Needless to say, it didn’t work.
The Russian economy proved more resilient that any of the western media “experts” had predicted.
Meanwhile, Ukraine’s economy has spiralled into collapse mode, sanctions are hurting the EU more than Russia, and now Vladimir Putin has pulled the plug on the Ukraine’s gas discount.
Best part of it all…the Russian President cites the (US sponsored) fall in gas price for the reason to discontinue Ukraine’s generous, $100 per 1,000 cubic meters, gas discount.
Ukraine’s western pivot sure is working wonders for the country…with friends like the US and EU, who needs enemies?
Of course Ukraine may not have to worry one bit, because in only two short years, American shale gas will be delivered to Ukraine and all of Europe according to John McCain.

Kiev currently purchases gas from Russia with a $100-discount per 1,000 cubic meters, and also receives reverse gas flows from Slovakia, Hungary and Poland.
“Moscow can no longer give Ukraine gas discounts due to the current drop in oil prices”, Russian President Vladimir Putin said Wednesday. The price must be comparable to that for other European countries, like Poland, he added.
Kiev currently purchases gas from Russia with a $100-discount per 1,000 cubic meters, and also receives reverse gas flows from Slovakia, Hungary and Poland.
In the second quarter of 2015, the final price for Russia’s gas deliveries to Ukraine has been set at $247.18 per 1,000 cubic meters.
