Ukraine each year will receive less $ 2 billion due to the construction of the pipeline " Nord stream-2 ", said on Thursday Deputy assistant Secretary of state for energy diplomacy Robin Dunnigan. "You have to wonder why You with one hand help Ukraine, and another choking her ", - quotes news Agency the message of the envoy by the U.S. state Department in its statement to the representatives of the countries of Europe. In her vision, after the commissioning of the "Nord stream-2" Russia will have the possibility to stop the export of gas via the territory of Ukraine." Complete cessation of pumping gas transit through Ukraine will deprive it of the annual parish funds in the amount of 2, 2 billion dollars ", ≈ said Robin Dunnigan. She expressed concern that the construction of the pipeline, on its vision, will increase the EU's dependence on energy supplies from Russia." in fact, "Nord stream-2" is a danger not only to the viability of the Ukraine and its resources, but also creates a risk for the diversification of fuel sources for Europe, most of South-Eastern Europe ", ≈ She said. On 10 September the Prime Minister of Ukraine Arseniy Yatsenyuk said that the construction of the second branch "Northern stream" will completely deprive Kiev's ability to supply gas to the European Union and will lead to a loss of $ 2 billion of funds coming from the transit. He later tried to convince the European Commission not to allow construction of the pipeline. Analysts have called these statements by the Ukrainian bureaucrat hypocritical, because Kiev had forced the Russian Federation to build bypass pipelines. However, the print edition GLANCE, looked in detail why the statements of the Ukrainian Prime Minister about the losses and the insolvency of the "North stream" is not true. For example, the magnitude of losses in 2 billion dollars a year are exaggerated, as well as the loss of transit 140 billion cubic meters of gas. in Soviet times the Ukrainian GTS, and was calculated at 140 billion cubic meters of gas. However, in the past year on the Ukrainian pipelines to the European Union was imported 60 billion cubic meters. The income of "Naftogaz of Ukraine" in 2014 from the transit of gas from Russia to the EU amounted to 17, 424 bn. This 795 million dollars at current prices. Such annual revenues of Ukraine will lose, if you lose transit completely. However, This happens not only because of the second Nord stream, but also two strings of " Turkish stream ". In June this year a Memorandum was signed about the project " Nord stream √ 2 ". It involves the construction of 2 offshore strings with a total capacity of 55 billion cubic meters of gas per year from Russia to Germany under the Baltic sea, in addition to the existing two threads. Minister of foreign Affairs of Hungary Peter Siyyarto called the position of the EC on gas pipelines from Russia by the example of double standards, Recalling the unrealized South stream. 4 September, the Russian Firm Gazprom signed the shareholder agreement on the gas pipeline " Nord stream √ 2 ", which provides for an increase in the supply of natural gas to the EU. Signatures under the document were put by head of Gazprom Alexey Miller, the Chairman of the Board of BASF Kurt Bock, Board member of E. ON Klaus sch?fer, Deputy General Director ENGIE Pierre Shreir, the Head of OMV AG, Dr. Rainer Seele, managing Director of Royal Dutch Shell Ben van Bearden. Print edition OPINION noted, the participants asserted that the project needs Europe, and looked in detail, why this project is "no more political" than the " South stream ".
