Yuri Vitrenko said that even if the Russian Federation did stop gas supplies to the EU, Europe could replace this fuel with liquefied gas.

The head of the board of NJSC Naftogaz of Ukraine, Yuriy Vitrenko, called the statements of Deputy Chairman of the Security Council of Russia Dmitry Medvedev about the upcoming rise in gas prices in Europe due to the refusal to certify the Nord Stream-2 gas pipeline as speculation. He stated this on the air of the project The right to power.

“This is speculation that gas will cost $2,000. Russia has actually reduced gas supplies to Europe to a minimum. It cannot cut further, because it will not be able to fulfill its obligations under long-term contracts,” Vitrenko said.

According to him, if Russia could further cut gas supplies to Europe, it would already have done so. In addition, even if the Russian Federation did stop gas supplies to the EU, Europe could replace this fuel with liquefied gas.

Recall that the German authorities stop the certification of the Nord Stream 2 gas pipeline.

Ukrainian Ambassador to Germany Andriy Melnyk said that Ukraine is grateful to Germany for the decision to stop the certification of the Nord Stream 2 gas pipeline, but that’s not enoughto put an end to Russian aggression.
