Ukraine frightened by the prospect of construction of the pipeline “Nord stream-2″, as in this case, Kiev will lose 10% of their budget revenues from transit of gas from Russia to Europe, writes columnist for Forbes Kenneth Raposa.
He reminded that Ukraine receives approximately 10% of its budget for the transit of Russian gas, but the elimination of this source of income will be a huge problem, reports RIA “Novosti”.
And threatened Forbes columnist believes more and more obvious. The construction of “Nord stream-2″ will be carried out in parallel to the existing Nord stream, the South will begin to work with Turkish stream, Russia will not need the Ukrainian pipeline. At the same time, despite the objections of Kiev and European countries soften stance on the “Nord stream-2″ under the pressure of influential oil companies – in particular, Shell and BASF, who believe the pipeline is necessary to provide Northern Europe with Russian gas.
it is Also unlikely, says the author, that the President of the United States Donald trump Washington is concerned about the impact of the new pipeline on the economy of Ukraine.
Note that in early February the President of Russia Vladimir Putin admitted the possibility of saving of gas transit through Ukraine after 2019, if it is “economically feasible and safe”.
the Timing of the project of gas pipeline “Turkish stream” Russia’s synchronized with the termination of the contract for gas transit via Ukraine in 2019.
