The head of Naftogaz of Ukraine, Yuriy Vitrenko, believes that Germany does not have the right to receive economic benefits from gas supplies via Nord Stream 2 “at the expense” of other countries.
“The German side would receive economic benefits if, thanks to Nord Stream-2, it became the main distribution point for Russian gas. But as a leading European country, it cannot gain a short-term economic advantage at the expense of other European countries,” Vitrenko said.
According to Vitrenko, it is up to European companies to decide for themselves how they want to import gas – through Ukraine or the Nord Stream-2 gas pipeline.
At the same time, the head of the Ukrainian Naftogaz noted that Russia, represented by Gazprom, is fulfilling all its long-term obligations to supply gas to Europe.
