Fitch: "Europa depende de gás russo por +10 anos, ao menos".
Moscow and Brussels have agreed that Ukraine will have to pay the gas bills it still owes to Russia. Ensuring the safe transit of Russian gas supplies through Ukraine is vital for the EU. And that dependence on Russian gas will remain - at least for another decade, according to the Fitch rating agency. It's predicted that other suppliers won't be ready to meet the demands. Europe's not ready to re-work the current infrastructure or shift to using other sources of energy like shale gas. Ukraine also gets its gas from Russia but owes Moscow more than 5 billion dollars. The state coffers are running empty and one of the country's largest power plants has now had its gas cut off after using too much of the resource. People are now being encouraged to cut down their energy usage as well, as RT's Ilya Petrenko reports.
