Poroshenko voiced another enchanting stupidity
Ukrainian political scientist Alexander Semchenko sharply criticized Petro Poroshenko's statement made in Turkey, where the new TANAP gas pipeline was launched the day before. This pipeline will allegedly provide Kyiv with a new gas supply route in the future, reports a PolitNavigator correspondent.
Poroshenko’s idea will result in an increase in Ukraine’s expenses for gas purchases, Semchenko explained.
“I listen to Pyotr Alekseevich - he is so happy that the project is finally completed, that Europe has received a new source of gas. So, excuse me, Azerbaijani gas came to Europe, but it came through a different route, and Ukraine participated in this transit of Azerbaijani gas, and it made money from it. Now he won't make money...
He is going to purchase gas from this gas pipeline. Compared to the fact that if this gas entered the eastern border of Ukraine, the transport distance increases by about a thousand, or even one and a half thousand kilometers.
And this transport link is not just nice words - it is also additional money that will need to be paid for transit through this territory. Do you understand what the salt is?
"Ukraine is losing some gas, not receiving transit fees, and, on the other hand, buying gas at a higher price—simply because this gas is transported along a longer route. And he ( Poroshenko, – author ) calls this Ukraine's energy security. Previously, Ukraine earned money by transiting gas to Romania and Bulgaria, and now Bulgaria will earn money by transiting it to Ukraine," Semchenko stated.
