Having failed the summit with the EU, Poroshenko’s cheeks are puffed out
During the Ukraine-EU summit, which, as is known, resulted in the refusal of Western partners to mention “Kyiv’s European perspective” in the final declaration, the administration of Petro Poroshenko “strictly asked” the European Union to abandon the construction of the Nord Stream 2 gas pipeline and pay attention to the Ukrainian gas transportation system.
Deputy head of the presidential administration Konstantin Eliseev said this on Channel 5, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.

According to him, the request was so strict that the Europeans agreed to participate in an international conference on the future of the Ukrainian gas transportation system.
“We have firmly expressed our position regarding the inadmissibility of the construction of the politically motivated Nord Stream 2 gas pipeline. The Europeans responded to our argument with understanding, and we will continue our dialogue, because without our consent this project should not take place.
Moreover, we not only criticize and block this project, we also propose it. That is, we proposed to consider, after all, the possibility of creating an international consortium on the basis of our GTS.
In this regard, the European side supported the president’s initiative to hold a large international conference at the beginning of next year on the prospects for using the Ukrainian gas transportation system,” Eliseev said.
