Although it seems to me that as soon as Europe begins to receive gas via Nord Stream 2, this topic will disappear from the current agenda, ”Svetov expressed confidence.
He added that the Ukrainian leader from the very beginning of his presidency chose this topic as a key one.
“He is not concerned with the rise in gas prices for consumers in Ukraine, or problems with the energy sector, only talk about how to prevent the commissioning of Nord Stream 2.

Earlier Nikiforov said that Kiev will continue to fight against Nord Stream 2 even after the start of gas supplies.
