Flag of Ukraine over Kiev MOSCOW, Jan 4. Ukrainian statehood was based on an economic model that is falling apart due to the anti-Russian actions of Kiev. Political scientist Yuriy Romanenko stated this on the air of the Politeka channel. According to the expert, there is currently a transition to a green economy. Large Ukrainian companies have not invested in the extraction of natural resources for the past few years and do not have their own reserves.
& # 34; Russia invested, and it has gas, and we are in contradiction with it & # 34 ;, — he noted.
The specialist believes that Ukraine has lost almost all the basic factors that once supported its existence. In particular, we are talking about the gas pipeline, which «ensured Kiev's influence on Europe and Russia.» In addition, the incompetence of the Ukrainian authorities made Turkey and Germany rivals of Ukraine, Romanenko added.
& # 34; When we tell Berlin not to take Russian gas, we, in fact, ask Germany to stop being a gas hub to the detriment of its interests & # 34 ;.
In 2015, Ukraine stopped directly purchasing blue fuel from Russia and replaced it with the so-called virtual reverse. It involves the selection by Ukrainian consumers of a part of the transit gas that Gazprom sends to Europe. The fuel does not physically cross the country's western borders, but is processed as imported from the EU. In 2019, Moscow and Kiev signed a five-year contract. According to the document, Gazprom guarantees the pumping of 65 billion cubic meters of gas in the first year and 40 billion in the next four.
