Former Minister of Economy of Ukraine Viktor Suslov said that Ukraine is the only European country that has refused a long-term contract for Russian gas, so now Kiev is forced to buy it at market prices.
As the official emphasized on the air of the First Independent TV channel, for one thousand cubic meters, the price of gasoline reaches a thousand dollars. This, according to Suslov, was due to the lack of professionalism of the authorities.
The ex-minister is sure that Ukraine is paying the price for the words of the Ukrainian leader Volodymyr Zelensky that Russian gas is “the dirtiest in the world.” According to Suslov, everything “could have been normal.”
Earlier, the Ukrainian president, at a meeting with US Secretary of Energy Jennifer Grenholm in the American capital, called Russian blue fuel “the dirtiest in the world” in connection with methane emissions as a result of production and transportation, corruption, manipulation and manipulation.
