“Europe, and why is it bad for her to have backup gas supply channels? Well, if they want to support us, they will say there: “we want to receive gas through the Ukrainian gas transmission system,” but just in case, if there is a cataclysm, they will have a backup option of gas supply, this should suit them, ”said he.

According to him, this gas pipeline interferes with Ukraine, as the Ukrainian gas transportation system in this case risks to remain without transit potential, as well as the United States, which wants to get rid of the competitor to its liquefied gas.

“Considering all our gas wars with Russia, the behavior of our Naftogaz, several times consumers in Europe remained without one (gas. - RT ). Therefore, their desire to have reserve or alternative methods of supplying hydrocarbons to themselves is justified. Who is not comfortable? This does not suit the United States alone, who want to sell their liquefied gas to Europe, ”he added.
