“It’s time to understand: no one but ourselves needs this pipe,” says Plachkov. – European energy companies do not want to get involved in projects to modernize and manage the gas transportation system for one simple reason – they are used to buying gas on the open market. And investing in a pipe ties them to this fuel source. That’s why I don’t believe in consortia – neither bilateral, nor trilateral, nor anything. The Europeans did not even go so far as to transfer gas purchases from the Ukrainian-Russian border to the border between Ukraine and the EU. They do not want to take on the burden of negotiations with Ukraine on the transit of Russian gas, preferring that this remain Moscow’s responsibility.”
