One of the major things i disliked about the Ukraine situation, is how the EU is putting false hope in people in a bad situation allready.
i'm a bit surprised about the gas delivery. i tought ukraine had some big discount, or thats when i've read a few times, is that a thing from the past, or never actually true at all ?

I personally thought that USA (and basically EU), UK would help us with weapons, esp. Javelins, if Putin starts war. It didn't happen, I was wrong. Sanctions really helped though, without them it would impossible for us to do anything.
About gas delivery, before Maidan we paid like 414-430 $ per 1000 cubes, at the same time Germany for example paid something like 300. It was never a market value and russian always used price for gas as a political tool. It would be also fair to mention that Ukrainian politicians (especially at Yanukovich times) were not very upset with this price, because 30-40 percent of this price went into theirs and putins friends pockets.
Now we buy gas directly from Russia, signed a new document like a couple of weeks ago, and it costs us 160 $ per 1000 cubes.
