According to Dudchak, Russia had no other choice, but to resume Russian gas deliveries to Ukraine.
However, economist and political scientist Alexander Dudchak believes that it is premature to claim that all the problems with Russian gas supplies to Ukraine have been resolved. He argued that all Ukrainian activities related to the gas deliveries are determined by political motives and show that Ukraine is an unreliable partner.
According to the expert, Ukraine constantly uses shady schemes. It is never clear whether the country will be able to pay off its debts and fulfill its financial obligations, the expert said, adding that all these problems are likely to continue.
"Ukraine is still dependent on Brussels and its loans; it does not want to consider any pragmatic solutions that would benefit both Ukraine and all the parties involved," the economist said.
At the same time, Dudchak argued, Russia won’t leave Ukraine without gas.
In any case, "Ukraine won’t be left with nothing. We will help it, it will still receive the assistance despite the fact that the Ukrainian media and the leadership of Ukraine view Russia as an aggressor," Dudchak stated.
