The fate of the Ukrainian “pipe” will be decided by Putin and Zelensky
If Ukraine and Russia, through the mediation of the European Union, cannot agree on gas transit after January 1, 2020, then the decisions will be made by the heads of state.
Energy market expert Valentin Zemlyansky announced this on the UkrLife internet channel, as reported by a PolitNavigator correspondent.
“Mr. Prystaiko said that they are ready to consider the gas agreement in the Normandy format, and this all leads me to believe that the situation is moving to the political level...
Accordingly, this will go to the level of presidents and, as usual, traditionally, I don’t know, whether it’s under the Christmas tree or not, this will be decided at the level of Zelensky and Putin, they will discuss it. It is clear that the technical and economic nuances will be discussed by the Ministry of Energy, Naftogaz and Gazprom, and political issues, a global agreement will be discussed between Putin and Zelensky,” Zemlyansky said.
