Difficult choice: Kiev is forced to ask for gas from Moscow

The Kiev authorities have undertaken to carry out tasks that are unbearable for the Ukrainian economy, PolitPazl reports.

The establishment of European prices for natural gas has completely destroyed the production sector in Ukraine. The Kiev authorities faced a difficult choice. This is the opinion of the Russian political scientist Alexander Lazarev.

“When, according to a memorandum with the IMF, the Ukrainian government pledged to establish market European gas prices, it actually ruined part of its industry, and this is extremely negative for the Ukrainian state. We understand that we simply cannot pay 1400-1500 dollars per cubic meter at spot prices”, Lazarev said.

Dubious measures taken by Kiev against the backdrop of the global energy crisis have led to the need to look for options to bypass the purchase of resources in Europe. According to the political scientist, Ukraine will soon have to turn to Russia in order to conclude a long-term contract for the supply of natural gas. Otherwise, the production potential of Nezalezhnaya will remain unfulfilled.

Earlier, News Front talked about how the chairman of the Ukrainian gas company accused Russian sailors of interfering with the development of gas fields in Kiev.
