Zelensky uses gas as weapon on neighbors.

 DESPERATION WILL CAUSE SERIOUS CONSEQUENCES

IF BRIBES DONT WORK, CUT OFF GAS

Ukraine hosts gas pipelines that feed gas to Ukraine, Moldova, Hungary, Transistia, Slovakia and Romania. This gas originates in Russia and Ukraine earns around $1 billion in compensation. This has been upheld by all during this conflict, but the contract expires at the end of 2024. Russia is willing to renew the contract with the same terms as before, but Ukraine is indicating that it will end this transfer of gas to its neighbors, who Zelensky claims is an ally of Russia. He is most concerned with Hungary and Slovakia who want an end to this war and are not willing to sacrifice the economic future of their countries by giving material support to Ukraine. They would like to stay out of this war and want it to end believing that the end is inevitable and it is time to end the death and destruction.

Ukraine is now set up to get LNG gas from the United States, probably at no cost. This will possibly satisfy Ukraines needs but will place these other countries in a dangerous position in the middle of winter.

It is reported that Zelensky offered the Prime Minister of Slovakia, Robert Fico, who survived an assassination attempt earlier in the year being shot by 5 bullets by an EU?NATO supporter, a $500 million bribe to agree to support Ukraine. Robert Fico refused and was then labeled a Putin apologist by Zelensky. We can assume that this is U.S. money and likely offered with the approval of the U.S.. 

Now both Fico and Orban of Hungary are letting it be known that if Zelensky cuts of this gas, they will no longer be able to supply Ukraine with electricity. Zelensky is outraged and is asking the EU to intervene on Ukraines behalf to force them to supply electricity to Ukraine.

While the end of this gas will mostly effect the above countries, it will also be a factor to the rest of Europe which is already struggling as the result of the energy and other sanctions on Russia. Will the cutoff of gas damage Russia more than the rest of Europe, a very questionable result?

Anyway, they now have one day to make a new contract or we can expect a lot of controversy in the EU?NATO coalition.
