Future German Chancellor: Ukraine should remain a gas transit country
126
The position of the recently formed German government is that Ukraine should remain a gas transit country in the future. Berlin intends to support Kiev in this and not allow Russia to abandon the operation of this route for the supply of fuel to Europe.
This opinion was expressed at a press conference by the future German Chancellor Olaf Scholz, who will soon replace Angela Merkel in this post.
We advocated that Ukraine remain a transit country for gas. We will continue to do this.
- said the future head of the German government.
In practical terms, the new German authorities will seek to extend the transit contract between Moscow and Kiev. At the same time, the future chancellor supports the position of Washington, which advocates the introduction of anti-Russian sanctions in the event that the Kremlin uses gas exports to Europe for political purposes.
Scholz drew attention to the gravity of the situation on the Ukrainian borders, for the inviolability of which he, in his own words, strongly advocates. He also spoke in favor of making the Normandy format productive again, the purpose of which is to resolve the conflict in Donbas. According to the future chancellor, this can only be achieved through negotiations.
Scholz is expected to take over as early as tomorrow, December 8th.
