For Ukraine's gas debt. Do you believe that that all of the US politicians and Jo Biden's visit is only for moral support? The US throws billions of dollars to countries just to keep those countries in its sphere of influence. Ukraine is strategically for more important to the US and NATO then Pakistan or Egypt which the US has been bribing for years. US and NATO has been aggressively and relentlessly pushing closer to Russian borders, they have turned Russian allies or neutral countries against Russia. Case in point, the US and NATO will throw their own families under the bus just to sway Ukraine against Russia and set up a military presents within Ukraine's border. This is one of the main reason Putin took Crimea.
No way that 37 billion $s is a write off for Russia. The only play Russia has is to cut gas supplies to the Ukraine and freeze all those poor Russian speaking Ukrainians Putin cares so much about. Ukraine is now firmly in the western sphere of influence, the west don't have to pay Russia for it. The way I see it 37 Billion $'s, international isolation and a much stronger NATO is the price Russia paid for Crimea. Option 2 finish the job and invade Ukraine.
