No they didn't your wrong Russian deal fell through
I don't see anything that says that the Russian deal "fell through". It didn't. It was put into effect up until the coup happened.
I don't have an obsession - you are the one called it BS and asked for a source for it - I gave the source - nothing more or less.
I didn't write that -please get your attributions right.
However your contention that the deal didn't "fall through" because the revolution happened is patent nonsense -
"fell through" doesnt' say anything about why it failed - and the deposition of Yanukovych and subsequent collapse of the agreement certainly looks like "falling through" in the normal English sense of the phrase to me.
But the deal could not be legally implemented until it was ratified; the opposition prevented that, therefore the implementation was illegal

Complete BS. Back up your claim.

Where does it say the deal was not ratified? What was said is that the opposition blocked parliament in an attempt to DEFER the ratification.
It was ratified and payments were made. Are you going to contest this?
If you meant otherwise then you should have formatted your reply differently.

Payments were certainly made. When was it ratified?

It is Monday morning.
Ukraine got the first $3 billion tranche and is waiting for $2 billion more “in the nearest future,” Serhiy Arbuzov, who replaced Azarov as acting premier and will lead the cabinet until Yanukovych names a new one, told a government meeting.
Ukraine needs the funds to repay more than $1 billion to the International Monetary Fund by Feb. 12, the Washington-based lender’s data show.

Not that I can see from the links above - they refer to Russia buying "the first tranche" of Ukrainian Eurobonds, and there is reference to a $2 billion second tranche that was never paid.

There was talk of a $4 billion loan from the IMF in December 2013 - about the same time.......but nothing I can see about Russia issuing that loan, and nothing in the IMF news archive about a loan being made.
all the info I can see points to $3 billion being the first part of the $15 billion - happy to be shown otherwise, but you do need sources
You said it was ratified
