1:48 pm
absurd things we need to the same thing is happening we need to stop doing these absurd things we need to. start from this great should discuss the transit. start from this great should discuss the transit and the supply of gas and we can decrease the price by the way you get the supply of gas and we can decrease the price by the way too because. as you probably know. today the price is. which as you probably know. today the prices are quite high and i mean the money which the ukrainian spey for it's quite high and i mean the money which the ukrainian spay for its has to do with has nothing to do with the reverse supply no it has to do with has nothing to do with the reverse supply no it's not like that
