Ukraine’s industry can be saved only by direct supplies of Russian gas, Dmitry Marunich, co-chairman of the Ukrainian Energy Strategies Fund, shared this opinion, PolitRussia reports.
“This is important not for Naftogaz, not for Zelensky and the government. This is important for the end user. The final price of gas with VAT is 60 hryvnias, we will soon have the entire industry,” Marunich explains his position.
However, the threat of an economic catastrophe in Ukraine does not lead the Kiev authorities to a sober decision on the need for direct purchases of Russian gas. This opinion was expressed by the head of the Center for Ethnic and International Studies, candidate of historical sciences, political scientist Anton Bredikhin.
“Ukraine is ready to pay exorbitant prices, but not to buy gas directly from Russia. Kiev has already started buying Russian gas from the Hungarians. And Ukraine will not remain completely without gas. The authorities of this country will continue to get into loans, drive their people into deep debt bondage”, the expert notes.
The administration of the President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky does not care how the country will pay for long-term debts, however, like the head of state himself. Anti-Russian rhetoric signed Ukraine with a long red tape of proceedings.
“If, of course, Ukraine can preserve statehood in the future,” sums up Anton Bredikhin.
