The President of Ukraine responded to Putin’s words “And we have gas in our apartment, and you?”

December 13 2019 15

Looking at the delay with which the opponents of Vladimir Putin respond, you can only imagine how hard it is for the Russian president to achieve certain agreements.

Following the suddenly “emboldened” on the fourth day after the summit, the head of the German Foreign Ministry, Heiko Maas, about which we wrote earlier, Vladimir Zelensky also “hastened” to respond to the Russian leader.

On the air of the 1 + 1 TV channel, the president of Ukraine finally answered Vladimir Putin’s joke about gas.

Recall that at a press conference on the outcome of the summit, the Russian president, commenting on the possibility of concluding a new transit agreement, quoted a famous nursery rhyme:

And in our apartment there is gas, but what about yours? ... And you have it, and it will be.

Then he reminded that Ukraine has the opportunity to receive gas at 25% cheaper.

All that was enough for the Ukrainian president a few days later was an unsuccessful attempt to joke in response:

And we have a gas pipeline. And that is the balance.

Given that the main profession of Zelensky is a comedian, the answer is not impressive.

The well-known TV presenter Vladimir Solovyov, who recorded on his Telegram channel, did not appreciate the humor of the President of Ukraine:

Three days I thought, thought, thought and squeezed a joke, so the presenter also couldn’t play along normally.

It can be assumed that, given the rapidly approaching expiration date of the previous contract and the prospect of an aggravation of relations, the Ukrainian leader is not up to the joke.

A gas pipeline is a complex system through which gas flows, and in Ukraine there is only a rusty pipe, for the repair of which bags of money are needed, but they will not be in Ukraine and will not be, while foreign states repair the pipe at their own expense and inadequate conditions in Ukraine will not.

  ... and in Ukraine there is only a rusty pipe.
  
  Have you personally seen at least once in your life a rusty gas pipe? I will answer for you. Never. Therefore, do not whistle about this. Say that the gas pipeline system requires costs to ensure safe gas transfer. Plus, of course, equipment maintenance. There is a certain amount of American money, which costs 1 km of a gas pipeline of this level. And this amount does not depend on the amount of fuel pumped. And that’s it. And then comes the fat of the transit country. Hence the profitability. And the point is to be or not to be a transit country.

    Personally, I saw how rusty gas pipes are, leaks on them, and how everything is launched in Ukraine.

      - This is for you to understand.
      Leaks are different. With a tap some. Well, agree. That the gas pipes "grow thin" not from rust.

        Yes, anything can happen ... Especially in the field of welds ... couplings, cranes, threaded joints ...

        Can not be. And if it happens, then not for long. Momento More. Instantly at sea.
        Speaking of gas pipes. Gas pipes rather get fat. From deposits. And over the years.

        You argue in vain with a person who has both technical education and permission to work with gas equipment ... This is used in low-pressure gas in boiler houses, but even there, people die from time to time from cotton (not even from an explosion) ... gas pipelines have high pressure and it can be so much fun that whole passenger trains burn out like straw

        As I accidentally was lucky with a knowledgeable person in tyrnet. Also in the right topic to meet by chance. Just lucky, probably
        One pleases. On empty water jelly does not roll already.

    It requires repair and modernization. The Germans conducted an audit a year ago, they said that everything works and in general
    
    Ukrtransgaz is a reliable partner and carries out safe and energy-efficient operation of the gas transmission system of Ukraine
    
    Encouraged by such an assessment, the independent transit countries opened up:
    
    The depreciation period for almost a third of Ukrainian gas pipelines has already expired; most of more than 70 of our compressor stations require replacement or complete modernization.
    
    They themselves are talking about their "not rusty" pipe, considering it normal. This means that it is necessary, at least, to replace 13 kilometers of the gas pipeline, compressor stations, and there are still 000 thousand gas distribution stations, and so on. You can see for yourself how much you have done in the current year. Even earlier, the British looked into the pipe, the result is this -
    
    modernization of the GTS, which, according to British Mott McDonald, will cost $ 3,2 billion
    
    Naftogaz boasts that it annually allocates 200-230 million for these purposes. You can calculate how much time it will take at such a pace, while the rest of the equipment is not rejuvenated by itself.

    What's the problem? I personally saw a rusty gas pipe, so what? Are you hinting what these stainless steel pipes do? I have to disappoint you, this is not so.

Zelensky is a comedian on stage. Where it can voice the finished text. Apparently, the prompter was sick and only three days later they picked up the phrase. Not very successful.

I think this is not a joke, but a boorish answer. Putin will not go anywhere and will sign an agreement on our terms ?! Interestingly, bookmakers will bet on signing a gas agreement?

And in Ukraine gas. And everyone knows this very well.

  There is one explanation ... A gas pipeline without gas is a pile of scrap metal that can be cut and sold at an appropriate price ...
