Ukrainians are afraid that Russia will deprive them of the transit of blue fuel. Ignored the minds of Kiev laying the gas pipeline "Yamal-Europe-2". One of its sections will pass through the Belarusian land. The project was restarted by Russian President Vladimir Putin, Gazprom's CEO Alexei Miller, who believes that Yamal-Europe is the most effective of all the highways to the Old World,. "What for Ukraine will mean the construction of the second line of the Yamal-Europe gas pipeline by Russia?".

Most likely, if the Kremlin really finances this project, it means that they made a strategic decision to no longer negotiate with Naftogaz and generally "say goodbye" to the Ukrainian transit, "Kiev weekly" Business Capital "writes, adding that the reason need. Inspection group Wintershall concluded that by the next year Ukraine's gas transportation system will fail. However, the sharks of the Nezalezhnaya missed one important detail: the conversation between the president and the head of the fuel monopoly for more than four years. It was held in April 2013, recalls the "Free Press". The concerns of Ukraine are predictable and understandable, says the source of the publication, a leading expert of the National Energy Security Fund, a teacher at the Finance University under the Russian government Igor Yushkov. "Despite all the stick in the wheel on the part of the United States," North Stream-2 "can not be stopped.

"Turkish flow" is being built. Although, on the other hand, even with the implementation of all the currently announced Gazprom projects, Russia's slight dependence on Ukraine's gas transportation system (GTSU) remains, "the expert said.. He noted that last year through Ukraine passed 93.5 billion cubic meters of gas. Assuming that even the loading of the "Nord Stream", the consonant with the new gas pipeline and the "Turkish Stream" will not solve all the problems without Kiev. "That is, not less than 3-4 billion cubes, even in the most ideal case, we can not pump, even if Europe's needs in gas do not increase, as experts predict now," explained Yushkov. There remains one more solution - the construction of a separate highway, bypassing the intractable state. "Personally, I think that it will rather be a kind of conditional" Bulgarian stream "than" the second Yamal ". The topic of the new gas pipeline through Bulgaria was updated after the president of this country, visited Russia and himself voiced such an offer, "the expert shared his opinion. He admitted that the second thread of the "Turkish Stream" would change the course: it would go not to Greece, but to Bulgaria. Did not rule out Yushkov and laying the third string of the above-mentioned gas pipeline. In his reflections, the expert came to the construction of the third "Nord Stream". "The fact is that in the North Sea and the UK, and the Netherlands, and Norway are falling gas production. And even more than it was predicted before. These options are more feasible, since the countries through which the new gas pipeline can pass through are acting for it, "the source concluded, noting that" Yamal-Europe-2 "from Belarus can only keep its way to Poland. She, in turn, does not support gas cooperation with Russia, and in every possible way stresses that she is going to switch to blue fuel from the USA. Therefore, speaking about the effectiveness of "Yamal", Miller probably answered the question of the country's readiness to build this gas pipeline, I am confident Yushkov. "The logic of Miller's answer is simple: if all consumers agree and it will be profitable, then why not," the expert concluded. The idea of ??building "Yamal-2" was not discarded by the Director of the Energy Development Fund Sergei Pikin, stressing that "this is not the prospect of the nearest years".

"So far, about 15 billion cubic meters of gas are planned to be pumped through the Ukrainian territory even during the peak periods of consumption and more, even after the launch of all bypass gas pipelines," Pikin said.. In his opinion, transit through the territory of the Nezalezhnaya is inexpensive, while the construction of a fuel highway through half of Europe will cost the country a pretty penny.

Moreover, he called meaningless the laying of a new gas pipeline without extreme political necessity.
