Commercial Director of Naftogaz of Ukraine Yuri Vitrenko said that there is a possibility that by 2030 Kiev will again begin to buy gas from Russia. About this on Thursday, September 21, reports "New Time". "We see very negative trends. Some schemes are returned. There is a risk that everything will return to normal, and by 2030 Ukraine will again buy Russian gas and oil, "he said.. Vitrenko also believes that the lack of a stable development system in Ukraine will lead to the return of the old oligarchic system. "Returning to the oligarchic system is a basic, unfortunately, scenario. Very few countries from this model broke away, "he said.. Ukraine stopped buying Russian gas in November 2015 and began acquiring it in Europe, explaining it with a lower price.

Later, Naftogaz recognized that Gazprom offered Kiev fuel at a more attractive price than European suppliers. Russian gas would cost Ukraine $ 172-175 per thousand cubic meters. The main gas suppliers from the European Union to Ukraine are Slovakia, Hungary and Poland. Deliveries are made by reverse schemes, that is, in fact it is the same fuel that is sold to Eastern European countries by Gazprom.
