I'm against this war, but I think the history is a little different. Russia has always been a reliable supplier except for the recent demand to pay in Rubles.

Nordstream was built because Ukraine was an unreliable transit nation: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2009_Russia%E2%80%93Ukraine_gas_dispute https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2009_Russia%E2%80%93Ukraine_ga... https://www.theguardian.com/world/2009/jan/03/russia-ukraine-gas-supplies-gazprom https://www.theguardian.com/world/2009/jan/03/russia-ukraine...

Maybe it’s hard to be reliable when Russia keeps attacking you.

If "Ukraine was an unreliable transit nation" it was only because Russia kept shutting off their supply to attempt to undermine their government and extract consessions. In Putin's latest speech, he laid bare the goals - to re-enact Peter The Great and restore Russian lands', which basically include anything Russia wants, not merely Ukraine, but Poland, Lithuania, Sweden (which PTG took with the same excuse of it 'being Russian'. Putin is literally working to rebuild a 19th century empire with 19th century war rules, genocide included. If you are supporting this in any way, again, you are at best a Useful Idiot (in the Vladimir Lenin sense) or at worst a paid bot/troll. Stop it
