Gas compressor station in Ukraine MOSCOW, 8 Jan. The problems that may threaten Ukraine with gas transit due to the Nord Stream 2 pipeline were generated by itself, Kiev economist Yuriy Atamanyuk expressed this opinion on the Nash TV channel. «The problem with Nord Stream is 2 «- this problem, which was created by Ukraine. The first gas transmission stream bypassing Ukraine began to be built in 1994 (Yamal-Europe. — Ed.), When Russia and Germany proposed (Kiev. — Ed.) To create gas transportation consortium «, — noted the expert. In Ukraine, Europe was accused of «blows in the gut» from «Gazprom» As Atamanyuk recalled, then it was proposed to create a consortium uniting a supplier, transit country and the main consumer of «blue fuel» in Europe. “In that case, we would have a 100% full gas pipeline. But why didn’t we go for it? Because it was necessary to steal, it was necessary to steal gas from the pipe, there were always scandals about it. It is impossible without the country's top leadership … And it was necessary to steal money from Naftogaz, it has always been the business of the presidents, «he said. According to the economist, as a result, the other parties to the process saw that Ukraine is an» unreliable partner «, which was the reason for the construction of transit» streams. » that each country acts on the basis of its own interests, so Kiev should not look for “zrado” in this issue. Nord Stream 2 stretches from the Russian coast through the Baltic Sea to Germany and consists of two lines with a total capacity of 55 billion cubic meters of gas per year … The installation took three years and was completed on September 10th. The opposition was actively opposed by Ukraine, which fears to lose income from transit, as well as the United States, which is interested in promoting its LNG to Europe. In November, BNA suspended the certification of Nord Stream 2 AG as an independent operator until it creates a German subsidiary that will reapply. Once the new application is submitted, BNA will resume the process and make a decision within the remaining four months. Then the draft decision of the German regulator will be presented to the European Commission.
