Ukraine flipped off Putin first starting days ago.

Ukraine said it was its own decision to stop buying gas from Russia after it was offered better prices from other European countries. Those other countries import gas from Russia but can pipe it back to Ukraine.

It's wonderful that Ukraine got a guaranteed price, and that EU nations can all trust one another implicitly, ...oh yes, and Gazprom forgot to install a metering valve so they can't reduce the daily supply enough to force a decision on which nation goes without enough to keep running.

Let the fun begin, a lesson in market dynamics.
