Mykola Tomenko: The Only Right Position of Authorities and Opposition might protect National Interests in Gas Controversy with Russia
The Vice-Chairman of the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine, Mykola Tomenko has declared the following during the meeting with the Public in Drohobych, Lviv region.
Mykola Tomenko suppose that Russia, having serious finance and economic crisis in country, used commonly known method of "switching" the attention from own inner problem onto the outside one.
Pointing attention on the information that company "RosUkrEnergo" sued to Arbitration Institution of Stockholm Chamber of Commerce, Mykola Tomenko declared that the activity of this company for th Russian Part can hardly be explained. "It is commonly known that to the sphere of influence of "RosUkrEnergo" belong representatives of Party of Regions among which one can find Heroes of Ukraine, People´s Deputies of Ukraine. Consequently the question rises, what is the motive for those people to help Russia forming negative image of Ukraine in the world?", - Tomenko proclaimed.
Vice-Chairman deems that Ukrainian political elite should more than ever demonstrate consolidation and solve gas problem with Russia with dignity.
