“It seems to me that Ukraine’s strategy will be aimed at labeling Russia and Gazprom as an“ aggressor ”.

All efforts of Ukraine will be aimed at constantly proving, on the one hand, that Russia uses energy as a weapon, and, on the other hand, we will see provocations aimed at proving that Russia is “undermining the security” of Ukraine ", - said the expert.

In fact, Yushkov stressed, Russia will not agree to such things.

“We must all sit down together: Europe, Ukraine and Russia.

And calmly discuss ... For example, to Moldova and Romania, "Gazprom" may well keep the transit.

This is a fairly convenient route through Ukraine to power these countries, if Ukraine offers a normal and competitive tariff, ”he concluded.

Earlier, Makogon announced the possibility of a complete cessation by Russia of gas transit through Ukraine.

He also added that the Russian company has already closed several compressor stations on the transit route through Ukraine as part of capacity optimization.
