" Ukrainian question after signing the gas contract between Russia and China takes a back seat for the European Union . Partial reorientation of Russian gas to the market in China , and in the future of South Korea and Japan, would nullify the EU's attempts to force Russia to reduce gas prices. Because now " Gazprom " received alternative and more promising gas market " , - told the press on May 22 Ukrainian expert, member of the Supervisory Board of the Institute for Energy Yuri Korolchuk strategies , the correspondent of IA REGNUM.

According to experts , the current interest for Ukraine gas agreement between Russia and China is very untimely . "Ukraine hit the Chinese " trap ", which plays into the hands of Russia. Now Ukrainian problems and , above all, solution to the problem of gas debt " Naftogaz " will not be as relevant to the EU. Indeed, you will need to save his own corny European skin. Last harsh statement Yatsenuk that the negotiations between Ukraine and Russia on all issues is not possible - is the latest attempt to put pressure on the European Union and to persuade him to the side of Ukraine , including on the gas issue , "- said Korolchuk .

" Before the Chinese agreement the EU's position was " neither yours nor ours . " Now the EU will try to finally spoil relations with" Gazprom " and will distance themselves from the Ukrainian gas issue . Already EU corny Ukraine declines to pay the debt to Russia for natural gas for 2013 and the first quarter of 2014. EU and the IMF will help Ukraine to pay off debt , providing loans that will have to give . But to solve and negotiate with Russia on a new price for gas " Naftogaz " - as it wants Ukraine - The European Union is not will . EU countries will first think about themselves and about the price of gas for industry and ordinary citizens of the European Union , and for people and plants in Ukraine . Actually, it seems Ukraine is again left alone with the " bloodthirsty " Russian gas monopoly "- continued expert.

" But for Ukraine there is a great danger . Agreement" Gazprom " with China stipulates that Russia will still receive from the Chinese investment in natural gas production in the amount of $ 20 billion , and an advance of $ 25 billion of these funds will " Gazprom " to begin construction of the" South Stream " without the initial support of the European Union . And it threatens Ukraine annual loss of transit traffic in the run up to 40-50 billion cubic meters. meters of gas ," - concluded Korolchuk .

As reported IA REGNUM, on the eve of Russia and China , after years of negotiations, signed a contract for 30 years on gas supplies . Contract amount to $ 400 billion , and the total volume of gas more than $ 1 trillion. cubic meters.
