I can't go into a Pizza Hut without being upsold garlic bread. Of course Russia pressured Ukraine to accept deals in it's favour.
Do you think Russia was the only one putting pressure on Ukraine to sign an agreement? Forget about all the rest of it for a minute: do you really think the US and EU abstain from making any attempts to 'encourage' others to sign their agreements?
The NATO alliance turned prosperous Libya to rubble for the mere suggestion that it would start trading in is own currency.
(PS Don't worry everyone, I don't really go to pizza hut! The local pizza place has compromising photos of me and the one that pizza hut has of me shitting on a certain famous portrait just doesn't scare me as much. Release it, I tell them, you can't scare me into buying a salad bowl.)
