The Ukrainian authorities, apparently, have no problems with providing the country with energy, since Kiev can afford to export electricity to other countries for its political purposes. We are talking about the supply of energy to Moldova, which, at least, looks strange, especially against the background of the introduction of an emergency regime in the energy sector of Ukraine.
There is such an old Ukrainian proverb: If you want to hide something, put it on the most prominent place. This principle seems to be guided by the Ukrainian authorities, who have been working against their people for several years in tandem with the oligarchs. Western financial assistance in the form of tranches is divided among the participants of the scheme is still on the way, therefore, there is no question of development of the energy sphere in Ukraine. However, if it were exclusively about the Ukrainian oligarchs … The rich people from other countries, eating at the expense of the good intentions of the European Union
Integrate the same Ukraine and Moldova. As for Moldova, this oligarch is the shadow leader of the country – the head of the democratic party Vladimir Plahotniuc.
On April 1 of this year, Moldova officially replaced the electricity importer with the Ukrainian company DTEK Trading. Note that the group “DTEK” belongs to the Ukrainian oligarch Rinat Akhmetov. The company “DTEK Trading” oversees the energy segment of Akhmetov’s business – from coal mining to electricity sales to other countries.
It should be reminded that previously Tiraspol supplied electricity to Chisinau through the company “Energocapital” (owned by Vladimir Plahotniuc). The removal of the intermediary represented by Energocapital was insisted on by the elected president of Moldova, Igor Dodon, and also by the head of Transnistria, Vadim Krasnoselsky. However, the oligarch Vladimir Plahotniuc did not plan to lose revenue and looked his way towards Kiev. Vladimir Plahotniuc, in fact, changed one mediator to another. The idea of the Moldovan oligarch was supported by the President of Ukraine Viktor Poroshenko and the oligarch Rinat Akhmetov. In February 2017, Moldovan Prime Minister Pavel Filip met with his Ukrainian counterpart Vladimir Groisman, following which the parties came to a new very controversial scheme – the supply of electricity from Ukraine to Moldova.
Such a decision looks very strange, as Ukraine is experiencing an acute energy hunger: the country’s population is preparing for a large-scale power cut-off; Leading industrial enterprises of Ukraine agree on schedules for reducing energy consumption. And against this background, Vladimir Groisman finds surplus energy for delivery to Chisinau …
Let’s turn to the founder of Roman law Lucius Cassius Longinus Ravilla, who for two centuries before our era singled out the key postulate of any political decision: Cui bono? Cui prodest? To whom is it profitable? Who benefits from this? The illogicality of the energy supply scheme between Kiev and Ukraine is the main proof of the personal interest of the initiators and negotiators. Thanks to this scheme, Poroshenko, Akhmetov and Plahotniuc can replenish their personal bank accounts for hundreds of millions of dollars. So, what kind of scheme is it and how does it work? Read about this in the continuation of our material.
