US Ambassador: Nord Stream-2 will cost Ukraine 3% of GDP

American Ambassador to Ukraine Marie Yovanovitch commented on the plan to build the Nord Stream-2 gas pipeline. Speaking at the Oil and gas 2017 conference, the US ambassador said that after the implementation of this project, Ukraine would annually lose “net” income in the amount of 2,7 billion dollars. This is about 3% of Ukraine’s GDP.

According to Yovanovych, this fact negates any growth in Ukrainian GDP, if it turns out to be below this percentage.

Recall that the agreement signed by Russia and Ukraine on the transit of gas to the EU and on the supply of gas to Ukraine itself expires in the 2019 year. If the contract is not renewed, Ukraine will indeed lose the status of a transit country, and the very possibility of receiving gas not by “reversing” with European margins, but directly from Russia.

Marie Yovanovitch:

We are very aware of what will happen with Naftogaz. After all, the energy system of Ukraine is for your country a key component of the reforms. After the reforms, the Ukrainian market should become open to domestic and foreign investors.

This is a veiled allusion to the fact that foreign companies can simply buy the Ukrainian pipe. Will this have a positive effect on the economy of Ukraine? - a rhetorical question.

For one simple reason - the nation "Ukrainian" does not exist. It was invented by the Austrians, in the late XIX - early XX centuries. We are one people, one origin and one faith. It’s just that now a part of our people living in the so-called “Ukraine” was damaged by the head with the help of the State Department cookies ... You must have travannali them with these cookies. But this is temporary, intoxication will pass and uninvited overseas guests will be driven out by a filthy broom.
That is why my friend, we are interested in what is happening with OUR, a mentally damaged, relative.
We ourselves somehow, without your participation, will sort out a relative. Your government would be engaged in its own affairs, in its own home and would not go where it was not invited ...

[Shurik70]

this fact crosses out any growth in Ukrainian GDP

Well, to what Americans like to count other people's money.
Ukraine is a country in a favorable climate, vast territories, has access to the sea, people of numerous technical design bureaus are still alive. In Soviet times, it had the highest level of GDP per capita. Ukraine is a country with great potential. If people do not rob, and parasites and thieves squeeze.
But without defeating corruption, never gain any growth. At least let the entire cargo-energy flow of Europe transit through it.

What are you saying? Corruption is the most powerful weapon of every ideological banderlog with a damned communist past. It is proved by ideological Lithuanians. And you say "defeat corruption." It is necessary to cherish it!

[siberalt]

3% is just a loss for transit. Theft of gas is not included in the GDP of the non-government, but prices from Europe will be higher. Well, and, as usual, the loss of thousands of jobs for pipe maintenance also means something, at least for a pension fund.

[210ox]

Oh well ?! And what about his recent statement about the fact that transit may remain under certain conditions .. What kind of bolt and where to put it will be told to him ..

But who is to blame for you then? They themselves cut down the branch on which they sat. I think this pipe will try to foist Russia. Western investors will be afraid, because Gazprom may not extend the contract, but leave scrap for investors

[Antianglosax]

Apparently, 15 billion cubic meters will be driven through our former outskirts so that the region is enough to maintain and maintain the pipe, plus it is more convenient for some countries through the outskirts.
But this will only happen if the banderlogs and omerzikosa stop dragging on, otherwise the "no brothers" will have to be driven much lower than the baseboard, and their hydraulic structures should be scraped!

But in vain, a colleague. It may be necessary and Western business has already voiced hints that there are people who want to buy. And, if this happens, then there is no reason to refuse because operators will be interested in the smooth operation of the GTS.
Another thing is whether something will fall then Khokhlov. If it does, then the crumbs. And for the Russian Federation it will be advantageous to use all possible routes since There are opportunities to sell and gas demand is only increasing.
It is important that the Khokhlov treasury will continue to lose weight, and Europe will inevitably (to a greater extent) support the Russian economy

I do not understand Gazprom’s timid statements about possible deliveries even after 1919. It is necessary to clearly and specifically state that the contract will not be extended and if Europe wants to receive gas, let it count only on flows, there will be no other options. Then there will be no one who wants to buy out the gas transmission system of Ukraine, otherwise there will be some kind of undercover games with our participation, and I don’t know if they will bring benefit to Russia.

[dauria]

I do not understand Gazprom’s timid statements about possible deliveries even after 1919.

Because Gazprom is almost a quarter American, the same German - Baturinsky and private. Rosimushchestvo is really 38%. What are you fed up with? We like private property inviolable. Ah, Gazprom is in the public domain Do you believe all the ads?

By 2019 Euro-Ukrainians or the pipe will be given to the EU or reconciled with Russian arbiters of fate.

[Alexander War]

If you have questions about the causes of the events on the Maidan and the current war in the Donbass, one of the most obvious motives is the US geopolitics, which seek to cut off Ukraine from Russia (see the "Great Chess" board of Zbigniew Brzezinski) and bring it even closer to its borders, NATO soldiers and missiles.

Rothschild SpA won the tender for the privatization of the Ukrainian gas transportation system, providing the conditions for establishing control over the largest gas hub in Europe. This was reported in the press service of NAK Naftogaz Ukrainy.

Rothschild SpA was announced the winner of the auction for the purchase of investment banking services related to the provision of separation of natural gas transportation activities (“unbundling”), including attracting a qualified partner to manage the gas transportation system of Ukraine, ”it was informed.

As noted, the companies Lazard Freres and Rothschild SpA took part in the auction. Following the auction, the tender proposal Rothschild SpA with a service price of 98,0 million UAH was won. The expected purchase price amounted to 193,3 million UAH.

It is about the implementation in Ukraine of the rules of the third energy package of the European Union, in which the functions of managing the GTS and transporting fuel should be divided. In Ukraine, these functions are monopolized by Naftogaz with the sole amendment to the fact that the management of the gas transmission network has been transferred to the subsidiary Ukrtransgaz.

In the concept of the third energy package, the separation of the gas transmission system in Ukraine means that the latter will open up to competition. It is here that the Rothschilds will act as an “investment bank”. His role will be to advise Naftogaz how to choose the best company for the resale of shares in the gas transmission system.

The Ukrainian gas hub will no longer belong to the Ukrainian state, but to one or more private companies, and ultimately will be transferred to Rothschild investors and banks.

Be that as it may, behind this geopolitics that meets American plans, there are obvious supranational financial interests. Many companies did not take their eyes off Ukraine long before the Maidan and even more so after it.

This applies, for example, to Monsanto, which wants to cheaply buy back Ukrainian agricultural land in order to start growing its GMOs on chernozem (these fertile soils at one time formed the breadbasket of the USSR). In addition, this applies to enterprises producing shale gas (some of the fields under consideration are located in the Donbass) and those companies that want to buy Ukrainian plants for pennies after the collapse of national industry as a result of a breakdown in relations with Russia. In other words, there is no shortage of people who want to cash in on the Ukrainian people. And they do not care that he eventually vegetates in poverty and civil war.

To these incomplete financial goals (food and energy have an obvious geopolitical component), one more should be added, which is of great importance from the point of view of geopolitics and finance: we are talking about the gas transmission system. The fact is that Ukraine is a central hub in the supply of Russian gas to Europe.

By the way, it is this key role in the supply of gas so much needed by Europe (Russia provides almost a third of all European consumption) and the repeated conflicts of Kiev and Moscow after the first Maidan in 2004 constitute a threat to the supply of the continent. Merkel and Hollande so actively pushed for the signing of the Minsk Agreements not for the sake of Poroshenko’s beautiful eyes. The fact is that Germany saw the risk of a complete collapse of Ukraine and, along with it, the supply of Russian gas.

In addition, it is for this reason that Germany insists on the construction of the Nord Stream-2 gas pipeline, which will allow it to continue to directly receive gas from Russia, bypassing the problematic transport hub, which Ukraine today is.
Ukraine is blackmailing Europe because it keeps its hand on the valve and can cut off supplies to the EU or take part of them for its own needs (it is worth recalling that Kiev stole up to 15% of the gas destined for Europe during the gas conflict during the first Maidan, that is, the Orange Revolution) . It is precisely with this that the hysterical reaction of Kiev to the Turkish Stream and Nord Stream-2 projects is connected, which may deprive it of the ability to interfere, that is, a geopolitical influence.

In such circumstances, the full significance of the news published by Interfax on October 13 that the Rothschild Bank of Milan won a tender for the provision of services to Naftogaz to decentralize gas transportation activities and to find partners for managing the Ukrainian gas transportation system becomes more understandable.

The amount of the contract with Rothschild Bank is 98 million hryvnias (3,15 million euros), while the total cost of the work is estimated at 193,3 million hryvnias (6,213 million euros), as follows from the tender data indicated on the ProZorro website.

If all this seems somewhat vague to you, I will explain what the consequences of this contract promise.

First, let's see what is meant by decentralization? It is worth noting that the state-owned company Naftogaz manages the entire gas industry, as well as the oil sector, from production to transportation and sales. The gas transmission system, in turn, is engaged in Ukrtransgaz (wholly owned by Naftogaz and, therefore, the Ukrainian state).

In other words, in the current conditions, Naftogaz controls through Ukrtransgaz all gas pipelines in the country. Incidentally, it is Naftogaz that pays Gazprom for gas supplied to Ukraine. Bills not paid by the company caused gas conflicts between the two countries.
So what is changing the current tender? Decentralization of the Ukrainian gas transmission system means that it will become open to competition. In other words, state-owned gas pipelines will be sold (at first partially, but subsequently very definitely completely) to private companies.
This is where Rothschild acts as an “investment bank”. He will advise Naftogaz in the selection of the most suitable companies for the sale of shares in the Ukrainian gas transportation system belonging to the Ukrainian company, that is, it should ensure the most profitable privatization of state property.

The idea is that as a result, the Ukrainian gas hub will no longer belong to the state, but to private enterprises and, therefore, investors and banks like Rothschild, which clearly does not hesitate to present in the most favorable light financed (through loans, shares and bonds) or consulted by him enterprises themselves in order to derive maximum benefit for themselves.

As a result, the gas valve will be in the hands of not the Ukrainian state, but private enterprises and banks, including the Rothschild bank (its past in the form of bloody investments from the XNUMXth century can be easily tracked on networks like Investopedia or Telegraph).

Ukraine will be divided and sold in pieces on the market to the advantage of financiers. In addition, given the geopolitical, strategic, and financial significance of the Ukrainian gas transportation hub, it’s scary to see banks with such a bloody liability like Rothschild laying hands on it.

It is worth remembering that most of the wars in the world over the past decades (this applies to those that are still being prepared) are fought primarily for natural resources (oil, gas, precious metals), and that these conflicts are very cost-effective for those who invested in them means. Some families like the Rothschilds made huge fortunes on the blood and death of soldiers who believed they were defending their homeland, although they only helped others get rich.

[Egorovich]

And Russia is here from what side, take it (the EU and the Mattresses) and make up for all the losses of Khokhloshtat in full. And it will be good for all. Only you are unlikely to make fork out.

Russia must stop all transit through Ukraine, including because Kiev constantly steals oil and gas, and the EU does not want to pay for oil and gas supplies from the Russian Federation on meters on the border of the Russian Federation with Ukraine ....

This should be understood as follows ... Despite the fact that Ukraine is spoiling Russia with all its might ... Depriving its income from transportation ... and the possibility of stealing gas ... is not good ...
