According to the publication, after Russia decided to abandon the construction of South Stream, all gas to Europe will go through Ukraine.
“The ax is no longer hanging over our heads! As is known, Moscow intended to transport its gas to Europe through two “Streams” – “Northern” and “Southern”. We were talking about a volume of 110 billion cubic meters. This is, perhaps, the maximum volume that our gas transportation system pumped to Europe in the peak year of 2008. Now our state has received additional trump cards both for conversation with Gazprom and with investors who intend to invest in the Ukrainian gas transportation system. Among the steps that, logically, official Kyiv should take in the near future is to increase transit fees and more persistently raise the issue of transit conditions,” the publication writes.
