1-I guess the asinine natural gas price packaged for them by Gazprom is a token of being good "tovarishch".

2- How can you prove that?

1 - In December, Russia approved a $15B loan to Ukraine. In addition, gas prices were slashed to levels far below the prices charged to rest of Europe. Also, Ukraine gets a cut from all energy transit through their country.

2 - There was a leak of a phone conversation between Estonian foreign minister and some British lady. The leak has been verified by the Estonian guy. In the conversation, they talk about how a doctor (Olga) told the Estonian foreign minister that the same snipers were killing police and protesters; moreover, the new government wants to sweep the killings under a rug, not wanting to investigate. The doctor believes strongly that the snipers were not Yanukovich's.

1- Russia knows Ukraine will struggle to pay back those $15 billion.

Ukraine in debt is very advantageous to them. EU didn't let Ukraine borrow money earlier cause there's no way Ukraine was gonna pay them on time and with a decent interest.

Get a glimpse on how neighboring countries deal with russia when it comes to energy business.

2- I don't know for sure to tell you the truth, these infos can be a counterinformation for all I know. Whoever those snipers were, they are as coward as who sent them. And Yanukovich is capable of anything how can people defend him?

1 - Yet now EU is okay with providing  a $15B loan? How does that make sense? And I agree, Gazprom is not a very nice company. But they've actually been nicer to Ukraine as opposed to their other customers.

2 - Yanukovich is capable of anything? There's evidence out there suggesting that snipers were not his.
