Pravda: Ukraine may start to get shale gas from US
The introduction of prepayment system for gas for Ukraine is the only possible move, the head of the State Duma Committee on Foreign Affairs, Alexei Pushkov said. The MP believes that Russia should have acted so a month ago.
"Let Yatsenuk get shale gas from the United States," Pushkov wrote on his Twitter today, June 16. Earlier, the MP called for the cessation of gas talks with Kiev after the Russian embassy was attacked by radicals, and a crew of TV channel Zvezda was detained in the east of Ukraine.
"I believe that Russia should move to sanctions against Ukraine. In my opinion, it's time all negotiations on the gas issue should be stopped. I consider the talks in Kiev inappropriate at the time when the Russian embassy in Kiev is attacked, the government is silent about it, the police is idle, and Ukraine's Foreign Minister offends the Russian president. What negotiations? These negotiations must be stopped, and so must gas supplies to Ukraine," he said in a June 15 interview with Russia 24 TV channel.
