Ukraine Isn't Ready for Direct Gas Supplies from Russia
He added that Russia should not use gas as an instrument of blackmail or for the development of corruption among national elites. Ukraine will not be able to ban its companies from buying gas from Gazprom in accordance with the agreements between them, Kuleba said, but Gazprom will become a participant in the Ukrainian market only taking into account European standards. “He will not have a monopoly, he will not be able to impose his conditions by bribing officials, he will be one of the players”, Kuleba said.
He also suggested that, probably, at a certain stage, Ukrainian Naftogaz would buy fuel directly from Gazprom. According to him, such a development of events will fit into the framework of market mechanisms, “without corruption, blackmail and without a “gas needle”.
