Kiev has the right to siphon off supplies destined for the EU, a Ukrainian politician claims.
The former chairman of Ukraine’s parliament, the Rada, Dmitry Razumkov has stated that Kiev has the right to confiscate Russian gas that flows to the EU through Ukraine, and sell it in order to solve the country’s economic problems.
“The gas that is transported through the territory of Ukraine is Russian. To the border with Europe, it is Russian gas. And if we act in accordance with the law, we e should confiscate it,” he said in a video posted on Facebook on Friday.
Kiev then could sell the fuel to Europe and use the proceeds to address its financial shortfalls, Razumkov suggested. He also called the confiscation of Russian property “a legal obligation” of Ukraine.
Russia is the largest supplier of gas to the EU, part of which is pumped via pipelines passing through Ukraine.
In December 2019, Moscow and Kiev agreed to extend the transit of Russian gas through Ukraine for the period of 2020-2024, with the possibility of extending the agreement for another ten years. The contract envisages transiting 65 bcm of gas in 2020 and 40 bcm annually from 2021 to 2024.
Back in 2006, parts of Europe were left without heat during one of the coldest winters on record after Ukraine started siphoning off Russian gas destined for the European market.

Is it an economic war on Russia or Germany?
On Russia.
It is Germany’s luck to be wiped out by friendly fire.
“The former chairman of Ukraine’s parliament, the Rada, Dmitry Razumkov has stated that Kiev has the right to confiscate Russian gas that flows to the EU through Ukraine, and sell it in order to solve the country’s economic problems. “
Proof Ukrainians are stupid.
They should confiscate Russian gas officials.
Good plan, for about an hour. Then the spigot gets turned off. Nazis aren’t very bright,
In 2020 they were willing to burn the cities to hold on to power, now they will burn the world.
Yes, the Democrat Party is all about power.
Great plan. The European customers will love that. That’s who the Ukes would be stealing it from. The end customers will be paying Russia for gas they aren’t getting or Russia stops the pipeline flow altogether.
Ever seen the YT videos of Russians doing that with 500kV power lines for fun? They use a nylon rope thrown over attached to a wire on the ground and pull up the wire. They make their own lightning and thunder on a clear day. Wacky Russians…
Russians and cameras...
