KYIV, Oct 4 – Ukraine is not concerned about TurkStream gas pipeline, but Nord Stream 2 pipeline from Russia to Germany is posing existential threat to the country, Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba said.
"Turkish gas infrastructure cannot be considered in isolation from the general level of relations between Ukraine and Turkey and the huge volume of strategically important joint projects and areas of joint work. At the same time, we understand that Not TurkStream, but Nord Stream 2 is killing Ukrainian gas transit. I understand the sentiment that is being promoted by some experts, but these are really two different situations from the point of view of the political and safe context and from the point of view of direct influence on the functioning of the Ukrainian pipeline," Kuleba said in an exclusive interview with Interfax-Ukraine.
