Gazprom fulfilled the dream of Ukraine
For that fought for it and ran. Since the 2014 coup in Ukraine, they have only said that it is vitally necessary to abandon Russian natural gas. As they say in Gazprom, dreams come true. In the Stockholm arbitration, a Russian gas company began the process of terminating all contracts with Naftogaz of Ukraine. The head of Gazprom Alexey Miller comments on the decision:
The decision is long overdue, bearing not only economic, but also political character. The last straw was the decision of the Stockholm Arbitration, which obliged Gazprom to pay Naftogaz $ 4,63 billion for the shortage of agreed volumes of gas for transit. The political coloring of the Russian response is evidenced by the fact that not only agreements on supplies directly to Independence Square, but also a transit agreement to Europe are subject to termination. And this is definitely politics.
We have been preparing for a decision to disconnect Ukraine from Russian gas supplies for a long time. In the very near future, the Turkish Stream will start operating, which will provide gas to Erdogan’s partner. According to the reverse scheme, gas supplies to Romania and Bulgaria can be transferred from Turkey, bypassing the runaway Independent. For the transitional period, advance supplies of blue fuel were made in European storage facilities.
After shutting down supplies to the European Union through Ukraine, time will begin to work against the Europeans. Winter is over, but it will inevitably return. Light blackmail is able to convince Europe to agree to all the conditions of Nord Stream-2, despite pressure from the United States of America.
Vladimir Putin’s hands of Gazprom questioned the ability of the European Union to ensure the interests of Europeans on the one hand, and to comply with certain guarantees to Ukraine. This also throws a stone at the United States garden, whose vice president is not shy about chairing the table.
The Russian president puts Independence in the face of the prospect of surrender. Surrender or war? Ukraine can respond with an escalation of hostilities in the Donbass, throwing everything that can shoot there.
Until a fateful decision has been made, President Poroshenko asks the population of the Independent “to fasten” gas valves to withstand Russian cunning. As they say, be afraid of your desires, because they can come true, especially if they are constantly voiced by Gazprom.
We are categorically against deciding at our expense economic problems of Ukraine. In such a situation, the continuation of the contracts for Gazprom is economically inexpedient and disadvantageous
