Itar-Tass: Ukraine's FM considers South Stream “political project”
Ukraine’s top diplomat said the construction of Russia’s-led South Stream gas pipeline will change nothing for Europe. Ukrainian Foreign Minister Pavlo Klimkin considers South Stream “a political project”.
“If the South Stream project is implemented, nothing changes for Europe,” he said. At the same time, Klimkin said, “Certain countries that will receive gas by the South Stream pipeline speak against the project. Its representatives have recently visited Kiev.”
“There are countries that are ready to invest in modernizing the Ukrainian gas transportation system,” he said. “The future of the gas market is based on diversification. Slate gas supplies will start soon. We’re working on reverse gas flows,” Klimkin added.
