“It stinks of Putin’s gas!” – Lviv Svidomo fell into a paranoid trance
There is a danger hanging over Ukraine of getting hooked on cheap Russian gas again, which will turn the country’s economy into a “Putino-ism.”
The odious Lvov TV presenter Ostap Drozdov, known for his pathological Russophobia, stated this on air on the NTA TV channel, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
“It smelled, stank of this Putin’s cheap Russian gas. We haven't had this smell for five years. November 25, 2015 was the last day when we bought the last cubic meter of Russian gas from Russia. Imagine, over the years we have intervened in all arbitrations, including the Stockholm one, against Gazprom; we have caused them $22 billion in losses; we have intervened in all courts. We seized property, got off this terrible Russian needle on which we had been sitting since the early 90s.
It was necessary to come now and multiply all this by zero and again throw us back not even to the 2000s, but to those early 90s, terrible years, when the entire supposedly independent country was put on this gas needle, on this stinking Putin’s Russian gas “, Drozdov laments.
He also recalled that free cheese only comes in a mousetrap and expressed regret that President Zelensky does not understand this.
“Remember the Kharkov agreements, how they agreed on the surrender of Crimea and the surrender of the Black Sea Fleet through gas?” - the propagandist grieved.
In addition, according to him, the point is not the price, but the fact that by using Russian gas, Ukraine is turning its economy into “Putinomics.”
“In the end, gas is the Russian world. If you take cheap Russian gas, get ready to perish in the concept of the Russian World, which is based on complete dependence, on completely drawing the country into this terrible Russian orbit,” Drozdov warned.
“And here I wonder what the president will do, realizing that inside the country it has long been realized that this stinking so-called cheap Putin gas is a betrayal of the national and state interests of Ukraine? I know, but I'm saying that I think he wants to buy his population. Here is this redneck scoop who is ready to exchange his own independence, his ambition, his self-respect, his energy self-sufficiency for cheap Russian gas. He will buy this population, and it’s not for nothing that the quote about 12,9 has already popped up.
These quotes have already appeared, saying that if a new contract for gas transit between Ukraine and the Russian Federation is not signed, the cost of blue fuel could rise to 12,9 hryvnia per cubic meter. They scare us. And not even us, but those crazy idiot voters for whom “reducing tariffs is the most important thing that Vovochka should do.” So, Vovochka will do it,” said the journalist.
“Due to cheap gas, they are not for their “population”, but for the population (Drozdov periodically uses Russian words to convey contempt - Ed.) they are selling a fairy tale about not increasing utility tariffs or even lowering them. And then some kind of Elizaveta Petrovna, some old... I won’t say who, who voted for all this, if you ask her:
– Elizaveta Petrovna, would you agree, in exchange for not raising or even lowering tariffs, to become completely dependent on Putin, completely, your own country, where you, Elizaveta Petrovna, will one day die and be buried there, are you ready to exchange your country for Gazprom?
“If we also take cheap Russian gas from the fraternal people, then that’s absolutely wonderful!”
And then we come to the situation that Putin will give Zelensky a great idea. First, there is a discount on gas, which means Zelensky will be able to satisfy all the demands of his (knocks on the table - Ed.), all these Elizaveta Petrovnas, on the other hand, he will receive a plus in his rating,” Drozdov said, breaking into hysterics.
