Ukraine will give the gas pipeline to the USA and the EU to preserve transit
In Ukraine, they decided to fight Russia’s construction of the Nord Stream 2 gas pipeline, bypassing the Square, by transferring the gas transportation system to foreigners. The head of Naftogaz, Andrei Kobolev, stated this on the radio “Novoye Vremya”, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
According to him, foreign owners of the Ukrainian gas transportation system will lobby for its interests and will not allow the construction of a bypass gas pipeline.
“We need to give this company to a structure where foreign partners will control corporate governance. Read, they just won’t let you steal. All. Foreign partners are from Europe or America...
There are large Western companies that might be interested in our gas transportation system. And they would help us ensure that corruption does not return. And, secondly, they could become lobbyists for our interest in Europe, so that there would be no Nord Stream 2,” Kobolev said.
Earlier Kobolev stated, that the cost of the Ukrainian gas transportation system is estimated at approximately $14 billion.
