Dirtyboots, I think Ukraine will be forced to bite the bullet sooner than later, after all everyone West of Ukraine is paying market prices. If Ukraine is hoping to negotiate a lower than market price, they would have to pay a heavy political price for it, they would have to gravitate back into the Sphere of Russian influence.But, I think no matter what is the outcome of this dance. The importance of the Mako project is already is a forgone conclusion.
