Janukovic asked EU first, they sent him home ("the problem with Ukrainian financing is your own, we don't care"). Then he asked Russia for a loan and they said yes.
- guard-of-terra 13y agoNow you have to admit that Janukovic asking EU first was not the most Russia-friendly thing you can imagine. And then some people should stop from blaming Russia for Janukovic being their toy. He is his own toy.
- vetinari 13y agoBlaming Russia is a convenient scapegoat: "See, those evil Russians?" Janukovic is Achmetov's toy.

So his requirement looked like extortion, moreover, after a little shock I realized that this money meant "You give me 160 billions, I sell you Ukraine and you can do anything you want there".
