In Ukraine they propose to cut off gas and coal to the Russian Federation, and then take on trains
If we are going to bury the border with Russia, as Ukrainian Infrastructure Minister Vladimir Omelyan proposed, then we must start by abandoning Russian coal and gas.
This opinion was expressed at a press conference in Kyiv by former Minister of Housing and Communal Services of Ukraine Aleksey Kucherenko, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
He criticized Omelyan’s statement about the possible termination of passenger rail traffic with Russia.
“Do you want a cordon? Let's think about where we start. Let's cut off the coal from Russia, which is coming in bulk, let's cut off the gas pipe. Ukrtransgaz receives 3 billion dollars from Russia - let's cut off this stinking gas and these 3 billion dollars with hatred.. What else are we buying there? Fuel rods.. This is rattling slogans, and even in the mouth of a minister... This is not the authority of the minister, this is a serious political issue,” Kucherenko said.
