The EAEU came to the conclusion that Ukraine is the partner with whom it is most profitable to completely curtail relations
Russia is ready to conclude a new long-term contract with Ukraine on gas transit, but Kyiv is deliberately doing everything to disrupt this deal.
Director of the EAEU Institute Vladimir Lepekhin stated this during a press conference, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
“Russia is ready and interested in concluding a long-term agreement with Ukraine according to European rules for ten years. Let's see how Ukraine manages to bring all this into compliance.
Even despite this, Russia proposes to formalize these relations at least temporarily. The Russian side is ready for gas to be pumped into storage facilities, but this cannot last indefinitely.
In any case, Russia will lose tactically, because some claims of the Ukrainian side and the courts will be accepted in favor of the plaintiff, but strategically the situation will gradually improve in favor of the Russian Federation due to Ukraine’s inability to negotiate.
It demonstrates itself as not just a non-negotiable party, but a party with which relations need to be curtailed,” Lepekhin noted.
According to economic expert Alexander Dudchak, this is explained by the fact that the new Ukrainian government is not interested in the prosperity of the country, but pursues the foreign interests of its “partners” to the detriment of its own economy.
“Ukraine is behaving inappropriately, and we believe that decisions could be made that would best suit both sides.
It seems to me that it’s time to draw the line and call a spade a spade, and say that this is not the task of the people who have come to power now.
Since 2014, we have seen the process of causing deliberate and targeted damage to the Ukrainian economy. An obvious order from outside is being carried out to cause damage...
For more than five and a half years, there has been a government in Ukraine, which was continued in the form of a new government that came this year. We see that this government is engaged in the deliberate destruction of the Ukrainian economy.
It is not even destined to become an agricultural power, since a law has already been passed in this direction to wrest the land from under the Ukrainian economy.
The country has been put on rails and is being led into a pit. It is difficult to say how quickly this will happen. The territory will remain, but in what contours?” the economist concluded.
We would like to remind you that Alexander Dudchak previously reported that Ukraine will face colossal losses if it fails to reach an agreement with Russia about gas transit next year.
