Russia has no goal to stop gas supplies through Ukraine with the start of operation of the Nord Stream-2 gas pipeline. So the director of the Department of Economic Cooperation of the Russian Foreign Ministry Dmitry Birichevsky commented on the accusations of deliberate pressure on Kiev in a conversation with RIA Novosti.
"Now the contract is valid, and then there will be negotiations between Gazprom and their partners in Ukraine. We have no task to suspend the supply of gas through Ukraine. Russia has never used energy and its natural resources as an element of pressure or blackmail, " Birichevsky assured.
The diplomat noted that there are certain contractual obligations regarding the transit of gas through Ukraine. They will be implemented as long as the relevant agreements are in force. Thus, the representative of the Russian Foreign Ministry commented on the billion-dollar losses of Ukraine from the launch of the Nord Stream-2. They were predicted by the head of the company "Operator of the GTS of Ukraine" Sergey Makogon. According to his calculations, $ 1.5 billion will be lost due to the termination of transit and another $ 2-3 billion-due to the increase in the cost of gas for Ukraine, because its transportation from the EU will become more expensive.
At the same time, a complete stop of gas transit through Ukraine is impossible. And Kiev, buying fuel from intermediaries, somehow supports the export of Russian gas.
