The stopover of the transit of blue fuel through the Uneven will aggravate Russian-Ukrainian relations to the limit, up to a large-scale conflict, the commercial director of Naftogaz Yuriy Vitrenko. He noted that the West is aware of these intentions. "This message is conveyed especially to European politicians who must understand not only the economic consequences for Ukraine, but also the geopolitical consequences for the whole world," Vitrenko explained on 112 Ukraine TV channel,. On the eve, April 24, it became known that Gazprom was not going to renew the Ukrainian contract, which ends next year. "Under no circumstances", - stressed the seriousness of the intentions of the deputy chairman of the company Alexander Medvedev. Although, he assured, the transit through the territory of Ukraine, "Gazprom" is not going to chop off.

So, Russia expects from the neighbor of the relevant proposals.

According to Moscow, the Nord Stream-2 gas pipeline under construction is a worthy alternative to transit through Ukraine.

But as the European allies of Kiev insist that Ukraine should not suffer big losses because of the new route of Russian fuel supplies, Moscow promised to keep part of the export supplies through the Nezalezhny.

Recall, the Russian concern decided to terminate all existing contracts with the Ukrainian side after the Stockholm Arbitration took the side of Kiev, obliging Gazprom to pay about $ 2.6 billion for gas shortage under the transit agreement. The Russian company appealed against the decision of the court, sending to Stockholm arbitration documents for the termination of contracts with Naftogaz for the supply and transit of gas.
