European politicians should seriously think about the future of their own children, if the fate of Ukrainian children killed by russians with "gas weapons" is considered a weak argument. The Minister of Energy of Ukraine German Galushchenko commented on the call for the opening of the Nord Stream 2 gas pipeline.

"German Chancellor Olaf Scholz called russia an unreliable supplier at the beginning of August and argued that there are no technical reasons for the reduction of supplies to Germany. It seemed that Germany was able to escape from the long-term russian gas captivity. But no, the aggressor does not stop trying to regain his power," German Galushchenko wrote on his Facebook page.

"And now there are calls from Wolfgang Kubicki, the Vice President of the Bundestag, to open Nord Stream-2. "At least for a little bit." It's so russianlike, they were brought up exactly on such strategies (folk tales) - when good people let a fox with a rolling pin stay overnight just once, and then have to give the animal its own child," added the Minister of Energy.

German Galushchenko reminded that Ukraine has repeatedly warned its partners about russia's efforts to hold on to the European market at any cost. Including due to new attempts to launch Nord Stream 2.

"I understand that refusing the services of a monopolist is a difficult task for European politicians. But they should seriously think about the future of their own children, if the fate of Ukrainian children, who are killed by russians with ‘gas weapons’, is considered a weak argument," the Minister emphasized.

German Galushchenko accentuated that Ukraine has reliable partners in the fight against the gas aggressor: "I am grateful to my American colleague Jennifer Granholm for the firm confidence expressed in yesterday's interview with the Voice of America, about the impossibility of stepping back with regard to Nord Stream 2. She is sure that European leaders are determined not to repeat their mistakes."

The Minister emphasized that Ukraine is ready to help the EU in this regard by providing its gas storage facilities for storing European gas, as well as replacing the capacity of the Nord Streams with its gas pipeline.

The Minister of Energy is convinced that the future of Ukraine and the world is tied with green energy and has reminded that Ukrainian electricity has a high level of decarbonization, even by European standards. "In July, the share of green energy in the Ukrainian energy mix was 81% of production. And after our victory in the war, our progress in this direction will be even greater," German Galushchenko assures.

"But now the main goal of the civilized world should be the victory over the gas terrorist. I am sure that all of us will have enough courage and strength to endure this energy war," the Minister summed up.
