Unfortunately this is partially about money. When you have corrupt rulers who take from the country to live in luxury and Putin who threatens to turn off the gas to any country that does something he dislikes..
I didn't hear that Putin threatens to turn off the gas. I only heard about economical sanctions against Putin and he can turn off the gas in return. There is nothing about "dislilked" countries at all.
And Putin can turn off the gas to a country which don't pay its bills either. Ukraine has debts for the gas everytime.

Putin said he will raise the price of gas to Ukraine and also threatened the same to Greece on Monday due to the Ukraine Navy flagship being in the Greek port of Souda. That's all he does, threaten to raise the price of gas or cut it off completely. His number 1 threat.

afaik, there is no law that regulates this specific situation.
So what is "right" here ? just somehow subjective,morally or also legally ?
also Churkin at UNO 2 days ago

Putin said he will raise the price of gas to Ukraine..
No, he said something different. Ukraine has a special discount price on gas and since Ukraine didn't pay the gas bills - there is no more discount price for them. It's not a raising price.
