One may go from the known facts (the price Russia was charging Ukraine was less than the market price of gas in most of the rest of Europe); and argue about more complex, less easily-verifiable facts — contracts, transit fees etc. What you can’t do (if you’re interested in the truth, and not propaganda) is just ignore the facts.

Irony.

Ignoring the facts about the contract and Russia's annexation of Crimea.

Some much for the truth.

I never ignored them — I just said that they are more complex, and less-easily-verified. And they are. The market price for natural gas in Europe is easy to determine (in fact, it’s determined many times a day). The issues regarding contracts, transit fees etc. are the type of things that make lawyers rich. You may be absolutely right about them — but, you can’t build a credible case by denying the simple, easily-verifiable facts.
