Why does ukraine let Russia’s gas flow through the country (and fund the war)? Wouldn’t it make sense to cut the line?
- snickerbockers 2y agoBecause some of the people who are giving the ruskies money for that gas are the same people funding the opposite side of the war.

- therealdkz 2y agoPlease explain how Russians are still able to do it? They even blew up their own pipeline to stop EU from buying their gas but somehow those Europeans find the way to still work arou d the embargo’s…
- effie 2y agoWho believes Russians blew up Nordstream? They were least likely to do it.

- effie 2y agoWhy? It's cheap, and it's beneficial to some European states/business, and Russians only get some small money for it from Europe. This trade does not seem to harm Ukraine efforts that much, the support given to Ukraine should overcompensate strongly. Ukrainians do not like Europe paying Russia, but they understand that just stopping gas/oil going from Russia to Europe won't help them much, and may antagonize parts of Europe.
- snickerbockers 2y agoAccording to President Biden this proxy war is the only thing preventing Putin from launching a hitlerian jihad on the entire European continent (source: the most recent presidential debate) so it's a bit odd seeing the Europeans continue to buy his fuel like they don't have any skin in the game. Granted it's also possible that the situation isn't nearly as dire as some would have us believe, but that's the official story so....
- jncfhnb 2y agoUkraine gets paid for it. They’re gradually stopping it. No need to blow anything up.
- katzinsky 2y agoIt's likely the point of the war was really to clear out Ukraine, not defend the borders. The leader isn't Ukrainian himself and that has effectively been what he did.
