The main thing is that this money is not a gift, but a loan. Do you know the difference between a gift and a loan?

Your selective perception is sometimes astonishing! In this case, it is more like a gift. More precisely, it's a payment for postponing Ukraine's European integration, to buy time, so to speak, in order to implement their insidious plan in the form of a Customs Union (or whatever Putin's real goals are)... It can only become a loan if, for example, there is a change of power, or when Putin is convinced that Yanukovych has betrayed him... In any case, no one is going to return this money.
