“Vitrenko’s statement is connected not only with the position of Ukraine on the issues of Russian energy supplies to Europe, but also with the personal political benefits of the manager.
There are a lot of questions to Vitrenko in Ukrainian society, and in Ukrainian politicians he was repeatedly accused of incompetence and failure to work at a high post, "Mezyukho stressed.
According to the political scientist, Vitrenko with his anti-Russian statements shows that "he is in the trend of Russophobic rhetoric and justifies his own failures."
Earlier, Vitrenko called on the United States to impose sanctions against the subsidiary company Nord Stream 2 AG, which is being created in Germany.
According to the head of the Ukrainian company, the corresponding restrictive measures should be in effect until Russia "stops using gas as a weapon" and will act "according to European rules."
