The statements of the senior adviser on energy security of the US State Department Amos Hochstein about the “Nord Stream-2” are a clear signal to Kiev about the futility of fighting the gas pipeline, said the deputy of the Verkhovna Rada from the “Batkivshchyna”, the first deputy chairman of the Committee on energy and Housing Alexey Kucherenko.
“Look, we forgot that there is a country that has been telling us what to do for a long time, it has a plan for us,” the deputy noted.
According to Kucherenko, the State Department representative “completely reassured” the Ukrainian authorities during his visit.
“They are already clearly telling us: forget it, Nord Stream-2 is already a solved issue, and there is no need to whine, no need to be offended, no need to go and give stupid interviews,” he added.
Earlier, Amos Hochstein said during his visit to Kiev that Ukraine should focus not on the Nord Stream-2 ,but on the modernization of the Ukrainian energy sector.
