Ukrainian political scientist Alexander Lazarev accused the country’s authorities of treason because of the decision to import gas from Hungary. He told about this on the air of the NASH TV channel.
He noted that for the first time in history, the reverse of Russian gas will be carried out from Hungary, which gets there not through the Ukrainian GTS, but through the Turkish Stream. At the same time, he added, Kiev pays $ 1,440 per thousand cubic meters, while the average gas price in Europe is $ 350.
“I see this as treason, because by not buying gas directly, but buying the same gas from Russia, only through reverse partners, we pay both Russia and partners. Are we the richest state in the world?”, – the expert estimated.
