“I would like to ask a counter question.

Why should European companies sacrifice their money and, moreover, their residents, for the sake of Ukraine?

Why a gas pipeline that has not been repaired for 30 years and in which nothing has been invested should now be protected by the whole world?

It seems to me that these are the very questions that the representative of Ukraine should ask himself.

And the answer will immediately appear that of course all European companies and politicians are interested in ensuring that European citizens receive cheaper gas, ”Ananskikh said.

He recalled that “Ukraine did not want to talk about lowering prices and every year, on the contrary, increased transit prices,” which made gas very expensive, so a consortium of European countries, together with Gazprom, organized the Nord Stream - 2.

The MP expressed confidence that despite the pressure, the project will be launched.

“Moreover, this winter gas will be supplied via Nord Stream 2 to Europe.

This is a fait accompli.

Of course, you can talk, try to PR, but in this situation nothing can be changed, ”concluded Ananskikh.

Earlier, the head of Naftogaz proposed blocking the work of Nord Stream 2 with US sanctions.

According to Vitrenko, US sanctions have blocked the construction of the pipeline for a long time, but recently the restrictions have been lifted.
