Good Lord. Didn’t know that. I thought Ukraine was resource rich gas-wise, but apparently not.
I read a few things, and while they used to get most of their gas from Russia, now that they are enemies, they want to get their natural gas from Europe.
Which...is supplied by Russia.
So, I would guess that the issue is that Ukraine was a potential shutoff valve for Russian Natural Gas to Europe if things ever get worse between Ukraine and Russia, and this is a way around that for both Europe and Russia.
If I were a Ukrainian and Russia invaded, I would shut off that pipeline or destroy it. That can’t leave the Europeans with a warm and fuzzy.
Going to research more, but I don’t see how us getting involved helps anyone but Ukraine, and I am not feeling very friendly towards Ukraine lately.
Thanks for that info.
Ukraine might have some gas but to develop it takes huge money.
Nobody in a sane mind would invest it in such a corrupt country full of corrupt politicians who would just steal it from you once you start to get profit.
