German Chancellor Angela At a press conference in Kiev, Merkel warned after meeting with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky that there would soon be times when Europe would not buy Russian gas.
“ In 25 years at the latest, gas from Russia to Europe will not be exported at all or in much smaller volumes, & # 39; & # 39; said when the transit of gas through Ukraine to the EU continued after 2024 in connection with the construction of the Nord Stream 2 project. Merkel stressed that Ukraine should prepare for the fact that Europe will be more independent of supplies gas, and should understand what to do when that happens.
“For example, you can work together on hydrogen. But such a project needs to be developed step by step, in 2024 it will not be able to replace gas, & # 39; & # 39; she added.
