Russia cuts off gas supplies to Bulgaria and Poland.
Written by Paul Antonopoulos, independent geopolitical analyst.
Gazprom suspended gas supplies to Bulgarian company Bulgargaz and Poland’s PGNiG on April 27 for non-payment in rubles. Poland and Bulgaria insist that payments in rubles does not correspond to the terms of the contract signed with Gazprom. At the same time, the West seeks to reduce its dependence on Russian energy as it is, in their words, tainted with the blood of Ukrainians. Yet, one way in achieving this reduction is by increasing imports from Azerbaijan, thus making a mockery of the argument that dependence on Russian energy must be eliminated because of its illiberalism.
For Russia, cutting off Bulgaria means a loss of 5% of exports. For Bulgaria though, it means the country has lost the source for 75% of its natural gas. Meanwhile, Poland received more than half of its gas from Russia.
The two countries will not be able to find another natural gas supplier in the interim and although Poland has a liquefied natural gas processing terminal, both its capacity and the available amount of this gas is nowhere near sufficient. Despite all this, both Poland and Bulgaria will continue to receive Russian gas, although at a much higher price as it will be re-exported from Germany and Turkey.
Meanwhile, the European Commission officially confirmed that the payment of Russian gas for the scheme announced by Russian President Vladimir Putin does not constitute a violation of sanctions. In fact, countries like Hungary have already agreed to make payments in rubles.
None-the-less, according to European Council chief Charles Michel on Twitter: “Gazprom’s decision to cut gas supplies to some EU Member States is another aggressive unilateral move by Russia. We will remain united and support each other while phasing out Russian energy imports.”
After Russia halted deliveries for non-payment in rubles, gas exchange prices in Europe rose to $1,370 per 1,000 cubic meters, which is a third higher compared to February 23. This transition to payment in rubles for Russian gas is the natural result of hostile economic measures against Moscow.
Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov denied the accusations by the President of the European Commission, Ursula von der Leyen, that paying for Russian gas in rubles is blackmail. It is recalled that at the end of March, Putin announced that hostile countries, including the 27 EU member states, will have to pay for gas in rubles. Therefore, it is disingenuous to claim Putin is blackmailing Europe when at the same time Europe is sanctioning Russia.
According to a presidential decree, European companies must request the opening of accounts in rubles in the Russian bank Gazprombank to make payments for gas in their respective currencies, as stipulated in signed contracts, while the bank will convert the foreign currencies into rubles according to the change of the Moscow Stock Exchange.
The Group of Seven (the US, Japan, Germany, the UK, France, Italy and Canada) rejected the Russian demand to pay for energy resources in rubles, claiming it is an attempt to evade restrictions. They are concerned that Gazprombank will transfer the payments to Russia’s central bank, whose international reserves in the West are frozen.
According to sources quoted by Bloomberg, about 10 European companies have agreed with Moscow to pay in rubles, while four of them have already paid in rubles. The American outlet did not name which companies. This is critical as Gazprom warned that the gas supply to Germany, Hungary and Serbia, which passes through Poland and Bulgaria, would “be reduced proportionately,” something that could affect the industries and economies of Europe to unprecedented levels.
90 percent of Bulgaria’s gas demand is serviced by Russia, almost all of it via the TurkStream pipeline running under the Black Sea from Russia to Turkey and then on to the EU. According to Bulgarian Energy Minister Alexander Nikolov: “We have secured quantities [of gas] for the sufficiently foreseeable period. In the meantime, we will discuss supplies, transfer routes and further quantities with the European Commission.”
With the Interconnector Greece-Bulgaria expected to become operational in July, gas imports from Azerbaijan via the Southern Gas Corridor are expected to skyrocket. Bulgaria will also increase LNG supplies from Greece and Turkey with a Greek energy ministry official already confirming that Bulgaria has booked some LNG cargoes to be delivered via the Revithoussa LNG terminal off Athens.
This however exposes the hypocrisy of the liberal west as they denounce Russian energy imports as being tainted with Ukrainian blood but have absolutely no issue with increased gas imports from the Azerbaijani dictatorship that as recently as 2020 embarked on a campaign of ethnically cleansing Armenians from Nagorno-Karabakh.
Russia began its military campaign against Ukraine after eight years of unrelenting war crimes by the Kiev regime against the civilians of Donbass and almost immediately was economically targeted by the West. Yet, Azerbaijan experienced no such condemnation or economic targeting from the West despite its deliberate erasure of Armenian cultural sites, beheading of elderly civilians and enforcing one of the most racist education curriculums in the world.
This of course demonstrates the blatant hypocrisy and contradictions of the liberal West, thus proving they are not motivated by some farcical belief in opposing illiberalism and tyranny as they claim in the case of Russia, but are motivated in trying to maintain a US-dominated world order that no longer exists. Azerbaijan, unlike Russia, is not a threat to the world system, and thus can escape all criticisms of its dictatorial illiberal system, exposing the EU’s immense hypocrisy.
European Council chief Charles Michel on Twitter: “is another aggressive unilateral move by Russia.” Exactly! Russia must send their gas to EUnuchs for free while EUnuchs enact more sanctions every day, expel Russian diplomats, ban everything to do with Russia and even send weapons to Russian enemies. Otherwise it’s another aggressive unilateral move by Russia.
It is easy for a troll sitting in a basement to project nonsense, the real issue is that EU is economically in dire straits and has no energy resources and a cut off of Russian gas will send occupied Germany back to the stone age. This war on Russia is not going well for the NATO warmongers. NATO and America now say aloud what they have planned this total economic and military war on Russia for years – to ‘break the back of Russia and carve it up ‘. In other words, a prelude to a world war in which Ukraine led by a totally corrupt US and Zionist criminal like Zelensky is merely a convenient pawn. Russians are steadily advancing despite US deadbeat economy pouring billions in weapons. $33 billion for a dead loss Ukraine just today. JAI RUS!
That’s what the Indian general saying 99p boy
Never trust filthy backstabbing Turkeys who lost 17 wars to Russia and 40% of their tiny fake country LOL. JAI RUS!
Thats you homosexualised sodomised fake stocks apple can afford to pay greedy poofta? You p00ftas are the most deplorable liars and or utterly pathedic stingers on earth today, why your going down on all spheres no one needs you useless tech to prosper (period) 71 ruble to a homosexualised dolla,get the drift,no? Fkn drr scabby poof!
$ has an imaginary value, in reality, it is worthless.
We are doing very well. We have decided and make changes.
And yes. Long time planning makes sense.
We see it for Russia too. They have planned this for 8 years with their Armenian army inspired by Assads in Syria. .
Here Ukrainein in some ways are like Azerbaidian.
There is no reason on the planet to allow countries sending lethal aid to Ukraine to be receiving energy from Russia. Russia should be demanding gold for their energy from Europe. That’s close to a ton a day.
We do not have enough gold to trade with it.
Sorry for you… no clown no circus!
Ukraine is a willing pawn. They put themselves in this position over the past 8 years and only have themselves to blame. How stupid do you have to be to persecute the ethnic minority in your country of a neighbor with nuclear weapons? You really are looking to pick a fight. And they got one! So the whole world should be telling Ukraine to f**k off.
Many consider that Russia’s welfare also affects the welfare of the ordinary person and family. Russia is a thorn in the side of the immorality, censorship, DECEPTIONS and tyrannies of our world over the people, whom the world’s tyrant HATE, deceive, use, abuse, harm and whose every thought and word they wish to control.
And who started war in Ukraine? terrorists Russian state I believe.
No moron, US started it back in 2014, Russia has decided to end in 2022
You mental midget god with your mental midget god,you pathedic homosexualised dumb gimp!
Yes. But Ukraine has been nasty too. Thats no excuse for what Russia does right now.
Turks are not nice as well. ome basement Turks think they are the Harem and can regain the Ottoman deroute. Focus shoukd be for the 80 milions living in the new state.
Its not about the Kurds and thoise few PKKs. Its abiut the whole Turkey. What happens when Erodgan loose even more nest time.
Do Turks has a good replament for that. I dont think so. Turks should give more important influence to the Regions taking the pressure away from center almost having Erdogan as dictator.
I have my worries.
Wrong. What Russia is doing is intervening to stop a genocide. All legal and established as reasonable since WWII.
Russia is NOT targeting civilians. They will let the soldiers of Ukraine GO HOME if they lay down their weapons. The Nazis are another matter.
This is non sense, you put them in POW camps. You do not send them back to fight another day, at least those who are not shot by their own side by supposed cowardice.
You mean nazified full of european blood of the present homosexualised utter evil nazio union yes? like no matter what that homosexualised sodomised problematic neo nazio liberals assumes, Russia is controlling the entire top 2 sphere of the real finance unlike homosexual duddo apple which barely registers on the real gold backed commodity world,yes and how irrelevant us shit banks are? Too late for the usa,if anything they proved how irrelevant they truly are these days,down and out!
Eunuchs are not promiscuous as they have nothing to be promiscuous with. The ones you refer to are PERVERTS.
Good! Back to the soup lines for Russians, maybe it’ll help them wake up from the propaganda and lies about how strong and powerful their country is, although I sadly doubt most of them are smart enough to see through it.
This war was the best thing Russia has done. You guys thought sanctioning the hell out of Iran will work, and now they’re 97% self sufficient with no external debt, this will be Russia. Either pay in Rubles or freeze to death. Either take their wheat or die of starvation, your choice.
Buddy, I’m sorry your so blinded by this situation, the vast majority of the world lives perfectly comfortable without Russia and your resources and is tapering off them at a fast rate. Your troops are dying at staggering rates, although I’m sure you’re unaware of that (either by choice or because you simply are being lied to by your government), your equipment is outdated and malfunctioning, and your military advances simply aren’t working. The 5 day war is now on day 59(?) and the vast majority of the world continues to back Ukraine, if you genuinely believe that the rest of the civilized world is the problem, then that problem is probably you. Russia must learn how to coexist and admit they’ve made a mistake or the fall of your country will come soon.
besides the vast majority of the ignorant shit you wrote nobody here is Russian. That being said as panzy assed as they have been they are still holding lots of new territory. They are still advancing and they are still in Ukraine.
This is with them giving away oil refusing to bomb bridges or air ports or rail line or cell towers. This is with them refusing to send any more than the troops they started with. This is with them refusing the 190k who have requested joining the LPR and DPR armies. Imagine just how much you will need to convince yourself of what you write when they finally wake up and decide to kick the sh!t out of Ukraine.
Claims not to be Russian, yet hasn’t seen and/or refuses to acknowledge Russias attacks on airports and cell towers, god it’s so easy to spot you guys.
You pick a user name of a chick with a dick, projecting much? You just like the idea of hiding things? Like her big adams apple you are not hiding shi!t! You also you do not read for shit ! Read it again moron it says “nobody here is Russian” which means there is no claim you wont find a Russian on this site.
Go back to where you came from there are plenty of trolls here. Stick to your social media groups snow flake where you can meme each other images of destroyed Russians and pretend you are part of something bigger .
No need to resort to insults when you’re confronted and I’d rather stay right here and continue to make you Russians angry.
loser!
So how many elephants do You have in Your garden or on Your balcony 🛀
Fukoff tramp,thats none of your business,watch you back limey bleky kunt!
The weapons coming through on the railways were the reasons for the bombings. These were done SIXTY days into the military operation. Mercenaries and military equipment coming into Ukraine via airports were a threat, planes are also weapons, freeing the skies enables tracking of airborne missiles and air attacks. If you are unable to see how much Russia has handled Ukraine with kid gloves, you are demented and blind.
Also, nobody on here is Russian, I highly doubt that for a company whose headquarters is located in Moscow ;)
Again nobody you will talk to is Russian. Not on this site. (except maybe Yuri who might have been but doubtful they claim him, also he only know four words so if he were here hed type fuck off Alabama trailer park junkie pederass. yet hed combine a few of these into one word)
I also dont give a rats ass where South front is located. Its a pro Russian web site so what? You think your a fucking genius because you figured that out all by yourself? Thats kind of its thing…. fills a niche found a groove! Hence the reason why people come here. Three types those that want the other sides view even when its a little heavy and sadly trolls. You fall into the latter. So save everyone some time and go back to the world you enjoy. You are not going to change anyone’s mind and having another troll agree with you will not change the outcome of what is happening in Ukraine.
Yeah, sure buddy. Keep spewing bullshit while more Russian troops die riding Putin’s cock, your country is fucked and daddy putin is a goner, good riddance!
Why you vulgar two bit bi polar mentally challenged wishfull stinker, putin would snap both your wrists,so truth hurts,and your losing 71rub – adolla Good riddance yellen yeah,oh it be good riddance for good,loser lieing scum!
Putin can’t even move his feeble little wrists himself, very weak and very senile old man.
IGNORE, this Michelobama is a troll hijaccking any good comments and commenters. IGNORE and -.
Russians are moving steadily and now are 250 kms deep in Ukraine and introducing the Ruble, Russian laws and even school curriculum, these stupid uneducated trolls from mostly UK and US are just idiots. Russia will not let Ukraine survive, the US hyena pack can pour as many weapons, but Ukraine simply can not “win” and is already destroyed beyond repair.
UK, me. Not troll. I did comment that I would be glad to be rewarded for mainly very positive Russian comments, I wanted a Siberian cat and a holiday timeshare in Crimea but NOBODY replied to me. At least i am countering deception, helping the truth to get out, encouraging, asking questions and helping to avoid the UK getting NUKED for its stupidity.
They dont have those troops. Soon they also will have no equipment for it.
Your quantifications makes no sense.unless Your intensions is a shooting gallery.
Sorry to burst your bubble butt Michelle, Russia is on a winner and Ukraine is done.
What RUBBISH, US is dead broke and has 50 million on food stamps and 150 million on Macjobs. Who do you ignorant trolls try to fool? US is only country with a declining life span due to lack of health care. Even India will have a bigger economy that the deadbeat warmongers of broke America.
The same again. Kapitalisme is based on debt, which gives production. Do USA have production. Yes they have.
Americans lives 8 year longer then the Russians. India is like Russia.
India soon will burry people vertical to recycle for food. There will be no burning. Evewn the tigers wll only get meat at their birtday
Wait until the food shortages begin there Wiseguy. We’ll see how your position changes then. Go suck Schwabs cock in the meantime, maybe he will show you some favoritism and let you eat his feces.
Food shortages?? Lmao, we don’t have that type of thing over here, it’s not the USSR.
Your food has toxic monsato aids,gates has less than 0.2% of usa farms which goes to show how useless your fakey snakey cia slime turds truly are RUSSIA STOCKS URRP!
We dont have those problems. The problems are the price will be higher.
Maybee the ones being in old days lazybum farming finally will do reforms and make Buddah, Allah and people in Bramaputra riverbansks unhappy.
They have to starve or change.
We only will have probems this year and by that next winter to the summer.
You pathedic low iq degenerate libby sodomised faithless guttless faggy tranny got another thing coming,you are getting smashed on all spheres loser infact over 95% of the real people in the know understand the fundamentals of national security,fkd drr LOSER!
Uh oh, someone’s grumpy and can’t control their emotions, typical Russian drunkard enjoy as your cities are burned.
Thats right.We cjange to implement a little lower level well.
First and foremost, you Westerners must understand that we Slavs are used to a modest life, but what we have is guaranteed to us, just as the dawn of the day is guaranteed! 99% of us Slavs understand and accept that we will never be able to buy a car worth 50,000 or 100,000 euros, but we are completely relaxed because we can buy a 60 square meter apartment for the mentioned 50,000 euros … How much do you have to spend for the same? Most importantly, we Slavs will not starve, we produce food and we have it for both us and you. So far, you have bought, and occasionally stolen, food from us, and you have sold us overpriced products. Now you have decided to impose sanctions on us, so that we can no longer buy your overpriced goods, and you will not buy our food, which you do not have enough of! And you think you made a good move !?
NO, we use their oil and GAS. We use their fertiliser, we use their WHEAT and fish. Without their oil and gas, the prices SOAR and there is not enough. We CAN do without the US though!
Iran another great country with half the population of Russia and not as rich in natural resources as the largest nation on earth, despite 42 years of the most relentless sanctions, CIA inspired terrorism and an imposed war held out just fine, by the sheer dint of courage and national unity. Sadly, both China and Russia, who are now top US and NATO targets, voted for sanctions on Iran. The Persians being great people still support Russia. BTW, despite sanctions Iran has built the largest economy in the Middle East and ranks 17th globally. Russia will no problem as China, India, Iran and of the world support Russia.
Sanctions have their benefits for those who are resourceful. BTW, What would Iran export apart from oil? What foods and what else?
Thats overoptimistic. I dont see that. I might be blind. But I dont see that.
This is not about food. It about devellopments which very much is depended in high and low tech by educated people.
We dont have the choise You assume.
With oil exports strong in April and rising Forex reserves Russian President Vladimir Putin has managed to avoid economic ruin while hammering Ukraine and stabilizing the military front and now sure to annex large parts of a truncated Ukraine. Vast majority of the world, including powerhouses China, India and Iran simply rejected the mostly cosmetic western sanctions.
Your black water/cia/\mental midget dumb protesy gimp cancel was eliminated cancelled all right, RUSSIA STOCKS URRP, corporate military too dumb to ever win anything (period) YOU DUMBASS!
They have been kept in the dark since Vikings were defeated in Kiev and Nowgorod.
There was some temporary light by Peter the Great and Catherine 2.
But one them started to use Potemkins.
Iran needs to reclaim their land, as the Zionist claimed “their land”
I think You should try to seee ERAN better. Its a very nig organismesometimes here sometimes there soemtimes solit up and sometimes united. There You also should try to look at it as Persia.
After some time You will see it as a movie, whci makes a kind of sense. Iran is no photo. Its a movie.
I dont think Iran has need of some promised land. It has been there all the time at least 5.000 years in ups, downs and expasion. But it never has been gone apart from the Mongol period, whci was short.
Its very different from the many small ones, where manyare gone or almost gone. Arameans, Khaldeans, maronites, druse, jews but also today the Assyrians. We see the same for Caucasus.
Those need their land much more then anyone else. In the other hand we do have big nations or countries, where we cant even find one of the today.
The leftover Jews lived in Palestine. It was a walk throug for almost anyone. By that they were eroded and displaced away. Now some tiny dot is back.
So the Germans send tanks and weapons as the rest of Europe does as well, they openly admit they intend to find supplies else where. They are attacking Tranistria and may even invade it. Russia came up with the grand idea of gives us your euros then we will give you ruble then you get gas.
Yet the gas continues to flow at a slightly reduced margin in the sense the Polands share and Bulgarias will be removed form what is delivered. Yet Germany and the others will be increase their purchases in cubuic whatevers and then send it to Bulgaria and Poland.
Meanwhile Russian troops will continue to be killed and maimed by NATO weapons in an open war against Russia that has moved to Russian soil.
I guess in the end Russia will win……they will defeat Russia all by themselves with only a little help from Ukraine and NATO.
Russia could just shut off all pipelines and have a great bargaining chip. Or WW3. The thing is, is they are hitting Russia hard as hell playing judge, jury and executioner. Not a good thing to start.
Agree if it were me I would shut them all off for a few months, request some parts to repair an issue. Make sure those parts were sanctioned items. Let them cool their heels. Let Europe run a study of how it will take 10 years to change the infrastructure and that would be with zero concern for environmental regulations when doing so . Let them learn that to do it and be green would take 25 years. Let their environmentalist see how much c02 will be created by the 130 tankers a month it will require to deliver the oil and gas. Hell they will hold a fart in for a week if they think its bad for air quality. A truth is they want to kill Russian soldiers screw them let them buy from KSA today turn that shit off!
You have to understyand we already has known that for many years. This will speed it up. Even so it will take many years.
Here You forget we are many hands and brains and many things already are invented but not installed. It also is expensive but fx windpower and solarpower is much cheeper then fosssils apart from coal.
We also can save a lot by lowcost in insolation and much better district heating. In district heating we can win a lot of not CO2.
An other egoistic point of view is, that we are in a high level. By that we can decline some or make a zero growth.
Its much worse for the ones in the low end. We can help them some. But that have to change. Most likely we will be less Unicef or Santa Claus.
I see the USSSR neocolonislistic empire collpase for the second time within 100 years. I see the many reasons as well. The proletars did not run the place. Some few did almost as the Tzars.
I see no bargening there. We dont trade about this. We reoganize being most parts of the world. Food and fossils for some years will be more exoensive but we has systems, which can change things. We constantly do.
EU fx decided there always should be enbough food for Ourself. We gave money help for that change. Now we has too much food and export fx to China. The farmers almost only are supported in science and normal trade help.
many other parts of the world also can makes needed changes they ahve been possible for more then decades. Now they are forced to and we will get less but more expensive banannas and flowers.
The Judge is UN and many others. We are main dependent in export of mainly fossils and will have much less in exports. So we invest in those changes. Ukraine is an own country having its own quagmire and bad relations.
But they has to decide themself and try something better then Russia as they wish. That normal for most of the rest of the world. Its normal for the letfovers now inside EU as well as Nato.
Itsn very hard and also expesive to help them up. They are very different from us and has to change bad habits to not so bad.
By that Belarus and ukraine are NO GO.
NO GO is normal trades in something for something. We also allow them to tyake vancant jobs here, so they can send home money.
They partly has the same conditions as the EU members. EU members can work any where they wish, if there are jobs. Ukras has lower rights in the wellfare systems and moey for their children.
I see no Russian raise to the better regaining.
They have regained some but the steps over that only has made them declining. I kind of wish they dplit up or something. I kind of hope we help them.
None here understand the purpose for that invasion unlesss its some kind of revenge.
None here can see Putin win the next faked elections with Ukrainiens as Russian voters.
If Russia takes those 2 provinces only, the boycut will continue.
And the desperado has nukes.
In the short term Russia will continue to advance across Ukraine, but at a cost. They will hold land, but at a cost of more blood and treasure. Putin can bend Europe over the table with energy, for now.but needs their cash as much as they need the gas. in the long game, Russia loses in every senerio. Europe will get energy from the Middle East, Africa and the Americas. Sanctions and weapons will continue to flow into Ukraine, Russia will sell gas to china, and experience being bent over their own table by a sole customer a strong self interested China. The Russian people will want full false for their products, they will tire of war, a declining quality of life, and want to enjoy their lives. Either the people, the oligarchs or the military will depose Putin, blame the whole thing on the fever dreams of tyrant, and go home, probably no smarter, but broken, and with a new dictator.
Thats where they say the smart money is in the west! Yet They would simply be regurgitating shit they hear. The fact is most westerners can not imagine that someone could do with out its ? luxuries? There is another option you missed. Thats the one where sanctions have a bite but Russia survives. China is the US largest trading partner and it does not seem to have killed the US. In addition there is nothing Russia must have from the west? Nothing. A FIFA club? Visa cards? Its true it will hurt to lose european markets but europe losing Russian gas would be more of an impact then all the sanctions and the war combined on Russia.
Yea yea, the trouble is the West is not the whole world, not even half.
None says we has to.
Are they then Russia or China? No they are not.
None here says Russia has not right to live. We just want thm to have the correct seize and in their own country.
We have take so muchj shit from them even before they took DRR, Hungary, tjekkoslovakia, Roumania, Bulgaria, kaliningrad and someother smaller parts.
We has paid billions for so many things from lower then schratch. SSure its for own cost benenfit but what about all those millions of people livig there, where so many are punished for being normal persons in Our contaxt as normal Europeans in their own countries.
Your version of nothing is very incompetent. We only need neon from them. By most people are old and they dont educate new ones, they has to buy. They are not able to produce in big quantities.
We have seen their advanced drones. tey are advanced but almost ieverything ogf importnace are born in west Japan and South korea included.
They cant even make good copies,
should we go to London and buy rubles?
Oh buddy, how you misunderstand the current events. This is the making of a new world order with the west stagnating. Mind constipation must be horrible.
And who is growing???
That might be true. Wesy and others are able to make those changes even there might be some chaos and big probpems here and there.
The Europeans have no leadership: they are all compromised by the Epstein or CiA networks and they are nothing but submissive lackeys, which will continue until the end of the world itself. Once they have you subordinated they NEVER let you up.
You dont get it. We are not sheep needing only one flags and one TV channel.
We dont have the mighty Putin as the only needed brain for the whole Russian world.
We also dont need his version of succes. We have voted us into another solution, which seemes to pay off. .
You has to understand that CIA is not the enemy here. In most things its more a reliable friend. CIA also dont run USA. They almost has tryed but for good reasons has been stopped.
You are not even alloed to know Your socalled enemy and are told lies all over. If they all were true, we would have collpased many times decades ago.
So the dollar collpased 3 times last week too. I take it again: Kapitalisme is based in debt. Dept is investments in production and wellfare.
So no debt is almost none prodution and by that no wellfare. Interests is pay for loans. Somjetimes there a ´re a big risk, thenYiu are aoid well to take it. With less or no risk, You also are rewarded less.
The goal is to reduce the funding of RU war. That’s all.
Thats right. We has tryed to keep Minsk 2 by that. Now its sliding by the invasion 50.000 dead, devastating destruction and several millions of refugees.
Our so far 30.000 incommers dont look like nazi families. There is no heil
The country of Azerbaijan will be destroyed!!
Russia cant be everywhere and will be spread thin. I suspect that the current war in Ukraine will last a long time and will result in a Pyrrhic victory for Russia. Russia wont be able to start another campaign. Besides, there is still no answer for Bayraktar, artillery combo. Not unless they get the Iranians on board but the Iranians are just about to get out of sanctions. lol
Armenia did not get it. After 25 years they were pubnished and got even less.
You finnaly was free for the USSR dominance. And what did Yoiu morons do? You went to war against each other with Armenia as front runner.
Do we have to give You candy or spanking. Is there any hope?
Russia is cutting natural gas as Putin’s new terror tactic. The US is still the world’s biggest exporter of natural gas and getting new clients by the day. Vladimir Putin is such a demented moron that he still has no clue that his deranged war against Ukraine is going to make the US a far richer country.
Its typical cheep propaganda. It always tell everyone else is wrong and Russia has the upper hand
Bulgaria is not alone. We help each other, pay the price and Putin unite us well.
Russia still dont understand we by Our parlamentarisme and market economy can changes things if needed and change the balances.
The cheep version for it is mentioning Azarbajdian. Russia forget that country has no influence as supporter for Russia. That the vitals for the Russian invasion now 60.000 killed and for billions of infected destrutions by them.
It was not after 8 years of crime. The crime was some 17,8% Russians in Ukraiane should be allowed to run the whole dammed thing.
Maindan was a result of that. Those contrast was the reason. The capitol of Ukraine is not Moskva. By that it makes sense to go back to about 1993.
It even makes sense to go back in normal history books.
This is as much about destroying EU economically as Russia, USA can’t let them combine and be friendly they would then surpass USA economically which won’t be allowed.
Just look at who’s economy is tanking EU and whose is benefiting USA
Putler does not leave any sane options.
I agree. he and Russia seemes to be a declining desperado version.
Thats Russia attitude trying to split up or the blindfolded Trump version.
I see none of Your predicted hopes in any statistics. We are normal in the Western Economis having Our ups and downs. USA seemes to decline some, but its from a very high level.
We are dependent just as fx China is.
If needed we will help them a little down to the adjusted level they need. We see no sign of reforms in USA. They got Biden but need Sanders. Biden only is stability and a kind of keep.
Ukraine and Belarus are artificial states made by USSR and Stalin.
They both are moved west. Next they are added a lot of populatin from east, so Russia has got a reason to invade and tell, they are protecting those people.
Now they condem the fatal errors they made by themself blaming the 80% which never were asked about it.
Thats very impressing any are able to conclude like that.
I think of Skotland with no skirts and trousers. The pipe hanging down is very small.
RU should start a few GTL plants. Qatar and Nigeria have Gas To Liquid plants being built already: https://www.digitalrefining.com/article/1000635/conversion-of-natural-gas-to-liquid-fuels
This together with some LNG export (maybe to S americas) and promoting greater internal use (for buses, freight transport, possibly CNG powered air travel, and chemical feedstock for export products) could make a good economic impact in the not so distant future.
We did vote “No” to EU. We got EU.
It was a matter of being inside or outside. Inside is like in football. You have rules. By that You cannot have a country making some random homecookings from old days and tradtions.
By that human rights and working for them to be fullfilled was important.
Maybe. But we have been forced into that EU without a democratic choice.
To sacrifice so much for Orcraine. What lunacy!
Sure. We are barking mad. Thats a matter of definitions.
i see a lot of mysterious pipeline explosions in the future
I hope its not Your behinds
Russia has many options on the table to win this war against Nazis.
One of them is the maximum for them are 2,15% of 44 millions. Thats 946.000. But they are defended by 35,2 millions.
So You can improve Yiur chances by being friends withe them. If not they ahve more then 19 well armed brigades against You. The nazis has one more.
The other version is You are the reasosn for them. You are a very good fertilizer.
Kulaks, Denikin, Banderas and many others for very good reasons didnt like You. Not many liked You at all. You forgot keep.
The proletars remained poor and didnt learn production was needed. They not even got the tools for it. knowledge was punished.
We see it in the military forces. Not even them are first class.
elaborate.
The NATO Nazis will never ever win any war.
Russians are just idiots and nation of slaves. So special russia so far archived:
– 20 000 + russian soldiers are dead including many elite battalions during just first 60 days.
– Sweden and finalnd in nato means that whole baltic sea will be under NATO control
– Destroy relationship with ukrainian nation for another 60 years by destroying their cities, killing and rape.
– Rebuild USA position in europe
I don’t get it. Cut off energy supplies to Europe. Fuck the petrodollar.
If you really want to teach Europe a lesson, release their Russian gas supplies into the atmosphere. A couple billion tons of gas released into the atmosphere will raise global temperatures enough to trigger a blue ocean event this year.
Europe cannot handle temperatures approaching 50C for months. Asphalt melts. Power grids in Europe will collapse. Wet bulb effect will cripple Europe. NATURAL GAS NOT ONLY HEATS DURING THE WINTER BUT COOLS DURING THE SUMMER.
Rule number one: If SF says that something is wrong then its clear sign that NATO or EU doing something right :D Bulgaria will import gas from Azebejan and Poland will import gas from norway.
Putin is real 5D chess master with down syndrome ^^
Sure. He is down. People in Mongolia only experts in horses are more clever then him. They never will be blamed for that.
“Gazprom’s decision to cut gas supplies to some EU Member States is another aggressive unilateral move by Russia. We will remain united and support each other while phasing out Russian energy imports.”
Lapdogs obeying their master putting sanctions on Russia, especially on oil then say Russia made aggressive unilateral move when Russia stop providing gas supplies to some EU members. What a twisted bitch!
U.S. headlines, ‘Russians cut of energy supplies”, SF, “Russia suspends energy deliveries due to non-payment” SF is telling the truth. The EU/U.S. huff that Russia must deliver natural gas and have their payment in dollars and Euros that they cannot use because of sanctions freezing such assets. The nerve of Russia, demanding payment in a currency they can actually use.
Russia should shut off all nations that provide arms to Ukraine.
If I was a German citizen then first I would think about my safety and about my nation then later I will think about Ukraine, France, UK etc.
If I and my nation are becoming vulnerable then I will never be part of any war and would never ever supply weapons to any party.
Nowadays Russian one nuclear warhead is 400 kiloton which is 20 times more powerful than the bomb Washington droped on Japanies city Nagasaki which was 21 kiloton. Imagine a single 400 kiloton bomb will wiped off not only a single big city like Berlin, Paris, London or New York with whole life but also the attached rural areas. Nuclear warheads are not fun. No nation is prepared to deal with it.
