04.06.2014 09:14 "Agro Perspectiva" (Kyiv) —
The South Stream project has nothing in common with the energy security, the Ukrainian Prime Minister Arseniy Yatseniuk declared within the VR session on Tuesday, June 3, Government Portal reports.
Yatseniuk told that before the presidential elections there had been made two attempts of terrorist attacks on Ukraine’s gas transporting system on the territory of Ivano-Frankivsk region: «We have managed to avoid both victims and halt of transit».
«But we perfectly realize that such attempts were aimed at discrediting of Ukrainian gas transporting system, were aimed at disruption of transit, aimed at providing an evidence for our western partners that Ukraine is an unstable state and were aimed at the most important - making the South Stream legitimate,» Yatseniuk said.
The position of the Government remains invariable, the PM told: «We consider the South Stream is the project that is designed to increase energy dependence of Europe, the project which is called to remove Ukraine from the common energy policy with the European Union and the project which is aimed at reinforcement of positions of the Russia’s Gazprom in Europe. And it has nothing in common with the energy security».
He called upon the European Union to block the South Stream.
«Ukraine is a reliable transit country. We have upheld our commitments and will stick to them, if Russia doesn’t interfere,» Arseniy Yatseniuk highlighted.
