Ukraine rolled a barrel at Germany
Europe pretends that it does not understand the danger of constructing the Nord Stream 2 gas pipeline. The new supply route will give Moscow a free hand in the Ukrainian direction, and the EU countries will find themselves under even greater German control.
Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine for European Integration Elena Zerkal stated this on Channel 5, owned by Petro Poroshenko, as reported by a PolitNavigator correspondent.
"First and foremost, it's our security. For us, the existence of this gas supply route to Europe ( the Ukrainian gas transmission system – ed. ) is a certain guarantee that Putin won't launch a full-scale military attack on Ukrainian territory. And the Europeans have very little understanding of this. At least, they want to pretend they don't.
At the same time, the existence of alternative routes removes this fuse, and no one knows what will happen,” said the Ukrainian official.
“Merkel understands all the attractive aspects of the existence of Nord Stream 2.” In fact, then the whole big jackpot, that is, the gas market will be in Germany, and Berlin will already dictate policy - they think that, including the Russians, which I doubt, but at least they will control Europe completely , including Hungary and other small countries, which will depend on prices on the gas market, on how Germany will supply, on contracts and other things. In fact, this is usurpation,” says Elena Zerkal.
