As Russia continues to raise its natural gas prices to Ukraine, some people are looking to American gas as a way to ease Europes energy dependence on Russia. But its a solution thats still several years off.
In their home near Kyiv, Svetlana Kuleshova and Yuri Kuleshov are paying the price for more expensive Russian gas.
It will directly affect our budget. We will simply stop buying all the things we are buying now, the pensioner explained, because in any case we will be forced to pay the gas bill as we have to at least heat the house in order not to freeze. We will start looking for alternatives, of course.
Their worry is familiar to many Europeans. Ukraine and six other European countries get all their gas from Russia.
Meanwhile, threats of Western economic sanctions against Russia have been shrugged off. Russias First Deputy Prime Minister Igor Shuvalov says Moscow can find other places to sell its gas and that will cost Europe even more.
It will force Europeans to invest in new infrastructure to buy gas from the United States and other parts of the world. You will pay for this more, noted Shuvalov. It will mean that the consumers will pay more, but Russian gas will be consumed by someone else in other regions of the world.
