Tymoshenko revealed Ukraine’s purchase of Russian gas
Ukrainian politician Yulia Tymoshenko said that over the past five years, Kiev had not thought of refusing to buy Russian gas. Although the current leadership of the country boasts that it has stopped buying Russian fuel.
In fact, according to Tymoshenko, the authorities use various tricky schemes to benefit and deceive the population. According to documents, gas purchased in Russia passes as European.
- said Yulia Tymoshenko.
According to the State Statistics Service of Ukraine, the cost of gas purchased in January - November 2018 amounted to $ 3,1 billion. More than 10,13 billion cubic meters of gas was purchased in European countries - in Switzerland (3,6 billion cubic meters), Germany (3,1 billion cubic meters), as well as in Poland, Great Britain and Hungary.
But after all, none of the listed countries produces gas on its territory. Therefore, it turns out that the same gas that Western Europe buys from Russia is sold back to Ukraine.
Tymoshenko herself claims that Ukraine is able to independently provide gas. True, it is not very clear how and what has so far prevented the country from developing its gas industry. But the elections are approaching and Tymoshenko needs to raise the rating, and most importantly - to get around his most likely rival Petro Poroshenko. And for this, any means and statements are good.
