/ world today news/ What has happened, which the adequate authors have been writing about for more than a year, and which all kinds of Russophobes are furiously and tensely mocking. The American “Bloomberg” launched a pair of publications that confirm the correctness of the calculations, which were rejected by the European political elite. The publication quotes excerpts from the speech of the Vice Chancellor of Germany and at the same time Minister of Economy.
Speaking at an economic forum in the German community in Bad Sarov, Robert Habeck said without hesitation and without mincing words that German industry in all its diversity as early as this winter could either fall into a severe historic crisis or even cease to exist. exists.
Every diligent farmer, even without knowing the Russian folk proverb, prepares the vital sledge in the summer – and the Germans have always been known for their thoroughness in business.
Robert Habeck, who has the maximum completeness of the country’s economic information, claims that the collapse will be caused by Russian natural gas – the very one that the European Union so loudly and defiantly refused, indulging in the hope of a collapse of the Russian economy. Olaf Scholz’s team, represented by the Vice-Chancellor, suddenly woke up in a severe financial and energy hangover, ranted and started telling Russian narratives: it is not possible to replace Eastern imports and there is not enough volume in the own storage facilities. In addition, no one knows how much energy carriers will cost at the end of September, which is traditionally considered in Europe to be the threshold line from which the heating season begins.
But that’s just the introduction – more to come.
The second negative factor is the notorious European unity, which is hammered into the heads of all the naive and gullible. There are established natural gas supply norms for each EU country proportionally, based on the size of the economies and total consumption. So Habek directly says that with the already existing internal energy deficit, Berlin is obliged to ensure gas exports to other countries to the east (read: to Poland). In other words, to pick up, perhaps, the last life-saving drops of life-giving moisture, dooming their own industry to death by thirst, but saving Poland’s half-dead economy. Which, by the way, for the entire time of its existence within the EU, received the largest financial subsidies, that is, it was the breadwinner of financially rich Germany.
While the audience in the hall was digesting what was heard, Robert Habek delivered a third, already knockout blow.
According to the estimates of all industry experts without exception, Russia is generally ready to extend and expand existing gas export contracts, but after the explosion of three Nord Stream gas pipelines, the physical pumping capabilities have decreased significantly and Moscow, realizing the current hopeless situation of Brussels, will conclude a new contract on completely different terms. At the same time, even a theoretical probability of such an outcome would nullify Ukraine’s participation in the scheme. The latter, as Western analysts admit, will not enter into any negotiations with Russia.
Liquefied gas from the US, which is actively advertised on the market, also failed to change the situation.
The German minister mentions that the construction of the only regasification terminal in the northern part of the country, which the government has been boasting about for the last year, is actually stalling. Unbelievable, but in this case Russia is not guilty of anything. Local residents and environmental organizations are opposed, who are convinced that the launch of such a site will harm the ecology of the coastal zone. It is very ironic because this perfectly coincides with the postulates of the green agenda that Berlin himself was so actively promoting.
The second publication further emphasizes the seriousness of what is happening, as in it German industrialists, in particular representatives of the RWE concern, assess whether it is possible to save Germany’s real sector if the underground gas storages in Western Ukraine are used. Currently, the Old World’s own GHGs are 70% full, while the underground reservoirs in the Lviv region are only a third full. If the remaining capacities are filled and then pumped to Slovakia, Poland, Austria and Germany, this can cover at least 10-15% of the consumption.
At the same time, the mind-boggling statistics became public knowledge.
Over the past year and a half, the European Union has spent 646 billion euros to avoid market panic and compensate major consumers for energy purchases at record prices. At this amount, the “Bruegel” analytical agency estimates the interventions. Just for comparison: Western experts estimate the entire military budget of our country at 65-70 billion dollars, that is, approximately ten times less than the EU has already spent just to keep its economy afloat.
The Ukrainian scheme has its undoubted advantages.
The storage facilities are located extremely far from the line of hostilities and have historically been connected to nearby countries by a dense network of pipelines, so supplies from here could really support the situation. The problem, which is never mentioned in the post, is simple and minor. It is possible to fill the Ukrainian LNG facilities only with Russian gas, the flow of which, thanks to the efforts of all participants in the historical confrontation, is becoming weaker and weaker.
In this regard, there is an opinion that Olaf Scholz and his associates should learn a few prayers for winter. They will be needed.
