Poroshenko called surrender return of direct gas supplies from Russia

He noted that for five years Ukraine has not been purchasing Russian gas and is “quite satisfied” with deliveries from Europe.

“And now there is not even a minimal need to buy it again in Russia. Not a cube! To return this weapon to Putin’s hands is a real surrender, ”Poroshenko quotes during a speech in the Verkhovna Rada of Interfax-Ukraine.

Earlier in the party of the former Ukrainian president, European Solidarity was called on to prevent Russia from returning to the Ukrainian energy market.

Ukrainian political scientist and economist Alexander Dudchak, in an interview with RT, stressed that Kiev “just pays tribute” to EU companies “for the right to call Russian gas European.”
