Chizhov: a new gas crisis is possible in the EU because of Ukraine

43
Not even the coldest winter can force the Ukrainian authorities to take Russian gas from the transit pipe to Europe, reports TASS Statement by the Permanent Representative of the Russian Federation to the EU Vladimir Chizhov.




“In order for everything to be normal, there is a calculation of how much gas must be pumped into the gas storages during the summer period. I will not operate with detailed figures, but I know that now it has been downloaded much less than the required minimum. Accordingly, to take advantage of this gas from underground storage facilities, as Ukraine did last winter - and I said that since November (2015) they have not purchased gas - they cannot, ”said Chizhov.

He recalled that last winter was warm in Europe. “What will it be this year - I won’t guess, but even if it is average, the problem may arise. The whole experience of communicating with Kiev in gas matters suggests that the path of least resistance for them is to start again to take gas from the transit pipe leading to Europe, and then there will be another crisis, ”the diplomat said.

“Therefore, the European Commission is now probably conducting relevant conversations, the same one (the vice-president of the European Commission for the Energy Union, Maroš) Shefchovich went to Kiev, so let's see what this will lead to,” he added.

Recently, the representative of "Ukrtransgaz" (the operator of the gas transmission system of Ukraine) Maxim Belyavsky said that gas injection into underground storage facilities has been completed. According to him, now there are 14,7 billion cubic meters there, that is, the gas storage facilities are filled with 48%.

      No one is burying her, but theft, begging and destruction, instead of building up - this is the path that Ukraine has chosen consciously and has clearly adhered to it for 25 years!

      Yes, we ourselves saved her, and therefore did not bury her.
      otherwise I can remind you that because of the Crimea, so that they would not turn off the energy there, we would supply electricity to the Kaklam at a cheap price. since there was no direct feeding of Kuev from the Rivne NPP and there were still problems with the regions and how there because of this the Kaklams turned off the lights for 4-8 hours a day and how Kuevlyans (and residents of other cities) recorded in simulators only because there it was washed. and from this pit we pulled them, not the west. therefore, they could be buried back in 2014, regretted because of the inhabitants of Crimea.

      It’s not necessary to bury anyone, it’s necessary to show will at least once, and if a crisis arises, say that these are EU problems.
      Simply put, either let them pay for thieving friends, or whatever they want, but do not give a drop to compensate for what was stolen from Russia.

        The whole "hitch" is that the EU keeps track of consumed Russian gas not from the border with Russia, but from the border with the former Ukraine (according to the agreement, which expires only in 2019). Therefore, the Square stole, is stealing and will steal Russian gas for free. Such is the parsley. Yes

        There will be failures in Ukraine - Nord Stream will start working at full capacity. So far, it works only 60 percent. The fact is that because of the third energy package, according to which one supplier can use no more than half of the pipeline's capacity, we had to pull two lines. This is how we met the EU requirements. But practice began to force us to increase gas flow. There in Britain appetites are growing. The EU turned a blind eye to this. In the event of force majeure, the capacity of the pipelines can be used at full

    They stole and I will steal. Only this time, you shouldn't be led by Europe, let them deal with those who were brought to power in Ukraine themselves. And then knowing perfectly well who is to blame for the "gas war" the barrel was rolled only to Russia.

    It will not lead to anything good. And the EC will impose one restriction after another, to the detriment of the EU, only so that transit through Ukraine does not stop.

      So Merkel, after all, was trying to set conditions for Nord Stream-2, that he would BE ONLY subject to the continuation of gas transit through Ukraine ...
      That is, to sit on the gateway itself, and to leave "poor" Ukraine without a freebie ...
      A paradox ... and most likely insanity ...

    Everything will be okay. The economy is merging, gas consumption is decreasing. Europeans allocate money to buy gas for Ukraine. Will not be enough will start buying from Russia. The Europeans also increased the volume of purchased gas in advance. Our "non-brothers" slaves will survive this winter too! May God grant them health and, most importantly, intelligence.

    No one will freeze there. They are turning our gas from the tube as usual, and the presentation will again begin to Russia, - they say, we didn’t finish the Geyropeans. They will exclude us again from a couple of dozens of some tips on the rights of a white person, well, Gazprom will download them free then again. And we just have a little headstock for gasoline will increase. No, but how? Gazprom does not want to be extreme! Therefore, everything is as always ...

    Stunned! Everyone knows that Ukrainians will spray gas, 48% of the UGH are full, and no one is itching!
    Questions:
    1) How and where is gas accounting? (In the sense: at what border?)
    2) Isn’t it easier to put a counter on our border, returning a certain number of cubes according to the contract, and let them dig. Europe will simply receive less and start asking questions to Ukrainians.

      Now Russia sells gas to Europe on the western border of Ukraine, and Ukraine simply pays for transit. It is possible to sell to Europe on our border, but Ukraine did not seem to agree, but undertook to independently acquire all the gas and ensure its transportation through its territory. There were still requirements for the modernization of the gas transportation system of Ukraine. That is, in fact, Ukraine would act as a seller of gas in Europe. But Gazprom does not want to give up its positions. Even the South Stream was abandoned because of this, because strict adherence to the provisions of the Energy Charter, which the EU insisted on, would lead to the fact that Gazprom’s share, including gas, in the pipeline would be less than 50%. For the Nord Stream, or rather, for a number of pipelines that receive gas from this pipe in Germany, Germany has made an exception to this rule, and there the share of Gazprom gas may be more than 50%. But Nord Stream itself is less than 50% loaded due to the need to follow this rule. But Gazprom does not let other gas producers go there, and there are not very many of them besides Gazprom. And instead of changing the rule and loading the pipeline in full, we agreed on the construction of another branch of the Nord Stream.

    Europe seems to be insuring and allocating targeted loans to Urcaine for the purchase of gas, something in the region of 700 million euros.
    I’m wondering if Europeaters themselves are not tired of the unpredictability of their "wards" transiters?
    Each time they try to put sticks in the wheels of projects for an uninterrupted and guaranteed gas supply such as the Nord and South Stream, and at the same time they ask for preservation of transit through Durkaina. Masochists are some kind.
