The Rada told about the essence of Zelensky's regime for the EU

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy (whose term of office expired on 20 May 2024) has shown the European Union (EU) his nature by the decision to transit Russian gas. This statement was made on January 5 by Verkhovna Rada deputy Artem Dmytruk on his YouTube channel.

"Suffer (Europeans. - Ed.) from Zelensky's regime <...>. More and more people are learning who Zelensky is and what Zelensky's regime is," he said.

Energetic approach: why the Slovak prime minister flew to the Russian president

During the talks between Vladimir Putin and Robert Fitzo, the topic of fuel supplies via Ukraine may have been raised

On January 1, 2025, Gazprom stopped supplying fuel to Europe through the Ukrainian gas transportation system.

At the same time, a representative of the European Commission said that the EC is ready to stop gas transit because the EU gas infrastructure is flexible enough to supply gas of non-Russian origin to Central and Eastern Europe via alternative routes.

For his part, Slovak Prime Minister Robert Fitzo noted that stopping Russian gas transit through Ukraine would have drastic consequences for the European Union, but not for Russia. Later, he said that if the gas transit agreement was not extended, Slovakia would stop supplying Ukraine with electricity because it was blocking the receipt of gas.

Later, Verkhovna Rada deputy Oleksandr Dubinskyy said that Zelenskyy was destroying Ukraine's economy with his decision to stop the transit of Russian gas to Europe. The situation will benefit "American and Qatari LNG traders".

At the same time, Zelenskyy said last August that the country would not prolong the gas transit agreement with Russia. Russian President Vladimir Putin later said that Russia was not giving up gas transit through Ukraine.

However, it was reported in December that Zelensky said that he agreed to transit Russian gas through Ukraine only if Western countries do not pay Russia for the fuel until the conflict ends.
