Compared with the previous frustration of being abandoned by the United States and European countries, Ukraine is now so proud of being "highly valued" by the United States. After the country's President Zelensky was invited to visit the United States at the end of July, the authorities in Kiev have increased their confidence and actually asked Russia or Europe to pay for their people in the future.
just clamored and clamored that Beixi-2 will "cause a full-scale war" Ukrainians turned around and changed their faces, "justified" asking the participating countries of the Beixi-2 project to pay the money. According to CCTV News, Ukrainian Foreign Minister Kureba recently said in an interview with German media that Ukraine is preparing to negotiate the loss of natural gas transportation revenue after the launch of the Nord Stream-2 project.
The explanation given by Kureba is that "the Nord Stream-2 project is a security threat to Ukraine." Obviously, this is a typical rogue face. When Russia was carrying out the Nord Stream-2 project, it was deliberately bypassed the pipeline line in Ukraine because of the tensions between Russia and Ukraine. In other words, the Nord Stream-2 project has actually no longer had any relationship with Ukraine.
The argument about "North Stream-2 poses a security threat to Ukraine" is actually a view of the country's oil giant Witrenko. He believes that the pipeline of the Nord Stream-2 project did not pass through Ukraine, causing the country to lose checks and balances Russia's political capital, which is equivalent to clearing the biggest obstacle to Russia's "military invasion of Ukraine." Therefore, Kureba used this as a reason to ask Russia or Europe to pay for Ukraine's economic and mental losses.
In fact, Kiev’s idea was not something I remembered on a whim, but the United States behind it supported him. Kureba also admitted in an interview that this idea exists in Ukraine because "the United States' willingness to support Ukraine in seeking compensation after the completion of the Nord Stream-2 project has increased significantly."
A few days ago, U.S. Secretary of State Blinken said: "The United States is actively communicating with Germany to see what must be done to make up for the transit losses that Ukraine may suffer from bypassing the Nord Stream 2 project built by the country." Obviously, if the United States gives some sunshine, Ukraine will be brilliant immediately. Blinken just said so casually, Ukraine immediately reached out to prepare for compensation.
In fact, the issue of compensation to Ukraine is actually just a step down from the United States. You should know that in order to prevent the Nord Stream-2 project from becoming Russia's "political weapon", the United States has been working hard to disrupt the project. However, for now, the United States may be ineffective in making a comeback.
After all, the project is close to completion. If it is abandoned according to the requirements of the United States, who will be the loss of tens of billions of euros that have been invested? Of course, the United States will not pay this money in vain, although the losses were caused by them. And Germany definitely won't do it. Therefore, if the United States continues to persist, it will not only not prevent the completion and production of Nord Stream-2, but will instead cause it to become enemies with its European allies. This price is unbearable for Biden to .
So say. The United States "speaks up for Ukraine for justice" at this time, which is actually a way to regain some face for itself before deciding to give up pressure on the Nord Stream-2 project. Of course, whoever pays this money in the end will definitely not be the United States, and they will never suffer any losses. It is even more impossible to be Russia. After all, Putin has made a public statement a few days ago: "Russia has no obligation to support every Ukrainian."
Now, Ukraine is encouraged by the United States and is clamoring to compensate for the losses. The United States will definitely not pay, and Russia can basically pretend to be deaf and dumb. It is almost certain that by the end, the money will still be borne by Germany and other European countries involved in the project.
The reason is very simple. As long as the United States is willing to stop putting pressure, Germany will be grateful. So, in exchange for the United States to stop putting pressure on the Nord Stream 2 project, Berlin will definitely pay as long as Biden makes this request. Of course, there is no need to negotiate how much you can pay in the end, because Ukraine doesn’t matter, it depends on the mood of the Americans and the Germans.
