Questions regarding the annual shenanigans over supplies of Gas from Russia

[xiv_gemina]

So, this year has seen the usual round of arguments between Ukraine and Russia about the price of Natural Gas supplied by Russia.

This year, however, has also seen murky shenanigans that have caused various countries in the eastern portion of the EU to suffer from shortages of gas, because of arguments over gas prices between Russia (the supplier)

Gosh... Are you really believing that Russia vs Ukraine dispute is about the gas price? Have you ever tried be a neighbor with Russia? If Ukraine fails one day betrayed and abandoned by European elites -- YOU will be the next neighbor to deal with Russia 1:1.

What makes you think that I think that Russia's dispute with Ukraine is at all caused by the price of gas?

Do you dispute that the price of gas is a 'tool' that Russia uses to attack (i.e. discomfort) Ukraine?
Or that, as a result of this annual farce, supplies of gas to EU nations have been disrupted this year?

My intention when I made the post was to ask if anyone else has any idea of how to stop this ludicrous annual spectacle - not to 'support' Russia (or even Ukraine) in the current dispute.
I didn't think that my post could be thought to be supportive (or critical) of either Russia or Ukraine. Perhaps I was wrong?

If you have misunderstood my post because I used English phrasing that was too complicated, I apologise. I will try to make my English less convoluted in future.

Cheers,
Gem.

No Gem, you are Ok. I was just over reacted a bit. What to do? Do not play with the bear, you've got the strong voice in EU, and Ukraine and Russia are listening your voices. See who is better listener and act back correspondingly. Do not mesure by size.
