Staying relevant – EU partners in the Ukrainian GTS?

With alleged Kremlin favouring shenanigans occurring within the higher echelons of the Council of Europe, and NABU arresting Deputy Defence Minister Ihor Pavlovsky (and others) for embezzling UAH 149 million ($5 million) of defence budget funding (and thus deserving of far more than being charged simply with embezzlement during a time of war), or the crashing of Facebook across Ukraine (and beyond),  it is perhaps understandable if a reader missed the statement of EU Ambassador Hugues Mingarelli relating to the Ukrainian Gas Transport System (GTS).
