The Cabinet of Ministers stated that Ukraine is on the verge of a continental gas war
Europe is on the brink of a continental gas war waged by Russia. This is indicated by gas prices, the issue of Nord Stream-2 and the blackmail of some countries.
This is stated in an interview Radio Svoboda Deputy Prime Minister of Ukraine Olga Stefanishina.
“Mine is on the verge of a real continental gas war waged by Russia,” she said.
Stefanishina reminded that in 2020 the energy strategy of the Russian Federation will end. The document defined, she noted, that gas deposits are one of the tools of geopolitical influence.
“Today, the Nord Stream-2 project opens the field for a gas battle in continental Europe,” he added, noting that these are gas prices, and released Nord Stream-2, an individual blackmail of individual countries.
Stefanishina stressed the important positions of European partners on this issue. “If the EU takes a consolidated position, Russia will reduce its appetite,” she said.
Earlier, the US Congress called for urgent sanctions against Nord Stream-2.
