According to reports from the Russian news agency Interfax , the Serbian energy company Srbijagas and its Hungarian counterpart FGSZ completed, on Sunday 4 July, the construction of the section of pipes that allows the connection of the underground systems of the two countries, allowing Budapest to receive Russian gas through the Turkstream pipeline, without passing through the territory of Ukraine.

THE TURKSTREAM PIPELINE

Furthermore, thanks to this connection, the pipeline will supply Russian gas to the Turkish market, the Balkans and Central Europe, bypassing the Ukrainian territory.

THE CONSEQUENCES FOR UKRAINE

Due to the TurkStream, Ukraine will lose about 450 million dollars a year.

AND NOT ONLY

However, let us not forget that this pipeline is also the main pipeline through which Greece is used for its energy supply. It is perhaps superfluous to underline that this completion represents on the one hand an evident success of Putin's and Gazprom's political-energy strategy while on the other hand it represents an evident setback for both the United States and Ukraine.
