Re: Double standards ahoy
That's nowhere near an analogy.
Ukraine's subsidies originate from the break-up of the Soviet Union 15 years ago (bit longer than your average blue cross sale, Phang). Russia, seeking to exert influence over a country which has democratically aligned itself with the West, attempted to force Ukraine back to the general market price by withdrawing all of its subsidies at once, rather than through a general phase out.
