Ukraine was advised to buy gas from Russia, and not from Qatar
Despite the statement by Sergey Makogon, director of the Ukrainian GTS Operator, that Ukraine is considering the possibility of starting import of liquefied natural gas from Qatar from 2020, this option has no further development, the expert said. The fact is that Qatar today simply does not have the necessary capacities to supply LNG to Ukraine, and it can only increase them by the 2025 year.
- explained the expert.
According to him, Kiev is easier and cheaper to negotiate with Gazprom, and not rely on the supply of Qatari gas. He called on Ukraine to abandon its ambitions and resolve disagreements with Russia out of court, otherwise it will lose its last hope for Moscow to use the Ukrainian GTS to pump gas to Europe.
The second expert explained that all the statements of Ukraine on the supply of LNG from Qatar have no real basis.
- He noted, adding that the statements of Kiev are "just elements of politics" aimed at additional pressure on Moscow to conclude a contract for gas transit.
