[quote]Russia has given Ukraine a discount of almost a third on Russian gas and said it would buy billions of dollars' worth of Ukrainian government bonds.

The moves come amid Russian attempts to stop Ukraine moving towards the EU.

Russian President Vladimir Putin and Ukrainian President Viktor Yanukovych said they had not discussed Ukraine joining a Moscow-led customs union.

Ukrainian opposition leaders have demanded to know what Mr Yanukovych has offered Moscow in return for the deal.[/quote]

If I was the Ukrainian PM I'd ride the gift train for as long as possible then tell Russia to fuck right off.

And then Russia throws you off the train while it's still moving.

This is Ukraine right now

Thats not a curve ball, that's running out in field midgame, grabbing all the base mats and batting equipment, then jumping the fence and driving off in your car

Urikrane should get help from the United States of America. We don't give discounts for freedom, for us it's 100% off. :dance:

No, no, no. Not until the center area of the rope is equally partitioned in a non-aggression pact between the EU and Russia. Need to follow the precedent first.
