There is no Ukrainian gas to speak of. The original historic pipeline to pump Russian gas to Europe is in Ukraine. That historically gave Ukraine a power to set transit fees the way it see fit, to siphon some for itself for free or block transit.
I see Hunter Biden is looking for another job.
Good Lord. Didn’t know that. I thought Ukraine was resource rich gas-wise, but apparently not.
I read a few things, and while they used to get most of their gas from Russia, now that they are enemies, they want to get their natural gas from Europe.
Which...is supplied by Russia.
So, I would guess that the issue is that Ukraine was a potential shutoff valve for Russian Natural Gas to Europe if things ever get worse between Ukraine and Russia, and this is a way around that for both Europe and Russia.
If I were a Ukrainian and Russia invaded, I would shut off that pipeline or destroy it. That can’t leave the Europeans with a warm and fuzzy.
Going to research more, but I don’t see how us getting involved helps anyone but Ukraine, and I am not feeling very friendly towards Ukraine lately.
Thanks for that info.
