<<<Are not Russian efforts to charge Ukraine full market prices for gas similar to what the US supported IMF has done many times when extending financial aid -- namely ending or reducing subsidies on things like food, electricity, and fuel?>>> Your point is about country subsidizing its own citizens. With Russia and Ukraine it's about Russia subsidizing foreign regimes that are aligned against Russia? Every penny Russia charges less for its resources is taken from its own citizens.
