“Ukraine continues to believe in fairy tales. Ukraine today simply cannot become independent of third-party gas, it does not matter whether it is Russian or not. They simply do not have enough of their own resources. If it ever changes, we will be glad. Russia in this regard is neither warm nor cold. If Ukraine buys gas from us, we sell it, do not buy it - we do not sell. Everything is very simple. There are enough consumers of our gas, it is in demand, ”the deputy believes.
He also noted that since 2014, every resident of Ukraine began to pay for utilities several times more.
“Let the government think about why this is happening. They simply engage in demagogy, and do not think about ordinary citizens who suffer because of this. For the authorities, the number one challenge must be the needs of the people. And if the people live worse, then the government can not cope. And in Ukraine now is an example of just such a situation, ”said Anansky.
Earlier, Groisman said that Ukraine had abandoned Russian gas, and now four steps are needed for energy independence.
According to him, it is necessary to increase the production of Ukrainian gas, to achieve energy efficiency and the integration of the Ukrainian gas transportation system into the European market, as well as to protect Ukrainians who are not able to fully pay for utilities through a system of subsidies.
