Slovakia can not affect the Ukrainian energy system, since it is not a manufacturer, but only a transiter of natural gas and oil. Therefore, the threats of the Slovak Prime Minister Robert Fitzo addressed to Ukraine with a demand to restore the transit of Russian gas empty.

" Because in the energy sector of Slovakia a transit country, which has lost money from transit, when Ukraine turned it off. And accordingly, as I understand it, the mosquito resources are included as possible to make scandals out of this, to try to return the opportunity to transport gas to Europe somehow, ”Alexander Kharchenko emphasized.

In turn, the unrecognized Transnistria was in the opposite situation. After the war, the Moldova region fell into dependence on the Russian Federation - local authorities did not pay for Russian gas, but sovereignty lost for this, said the director of the Center for Energy Research. However, Ukraine or Romania does not have technical problems.

" You have to pay for everything in different forms: you can pay with political sovereignty, a military base in Sevastopol, which will then turn into a base of full invasion of your country, and so on. But you will always pay. The cheapest way is to pay money. I think that Transnistria gradually reaches this idea, ”said Kharchenko.
