The launch of the Nord Stream-2 gas pipeline is inevitable, because the Kiev authorities are forced to prepare for the new realities of the energy market.
This statement was made by the Deputy Prime Minister of Ukraine for European and Euro-Atlantic Integration Olga Stefanishina.
According to her, the completion of the construction of Nord Stream-2 will deprive Ukraine of the few advantages of a transit country.
“The answer to this can be our integration into the European market and the formation of a common space for competition, in order to open the market for EU companies – this is another of the ways that we see in Kiev”, – the official said.
