Zelensky: We made Russia an advantageous gas offer
226
The President of Ukraine has made a “lucrative” offer to the Russian “Gazprom”. In fact, Vladimir Zelensky himself stated about this:
We have made an advantageous offer to the Russian Federation on the issue of gas transit.
According to the President of Ukraine, while ensuring gas transit through the Ukrainian territory, Russia "can get a huge discount."
The Ukrainian side notes that if the volume of gas transit through the Ukrainian GTS exceeds 40 billion cubic meters per year, then Gazprom will receive a 50% discount from Kiev. We are talking specifically about the reduction of tariffs for gas transmission for Europe through the territory of Ukraine.
Zelenskiy claims that "Ukraine is able to alleviate the unfolding gas crisis in Europe." It is for these purposes that Kiev "offers the Russian company acceptable conditions for increasing the volume of gas transportation through its territory." Bloomberg reporters received comments from the President of Ukraine.
I wonder how all this fits in with Kiev's earlier statements that “Russia is trying to manipulate the Europeans with the help of gas,” and that “Ukraine, together with Europe, is considering options for switching to alternative energy sources”?
As you can see, the President of Ukraine is still a opportunist. In an attempt to please the Europeans, Zelensky actually speaks of his readiness to pass any volumes of gas from the Russian Federation that the GTS will allow. Thus, Zelensky is trying to argue that the Ukrainian GTS can cope with the EU's supply of gas from the Russian Federation without Russia opening Nord Stream 2.
