European Commission: We will continue to support the transit of Russian gas through Ukraine

The European Commission has published material in which it is stated that it will take measures to connect all gas pipelines passing through the territory of the EU, under European standards. First of all, we are talking about compliance with the so-called 3-th energy package, which implies the need for competitive supplies.

The published material stated that Brussels "will always support the transit of Russian gas through the territory of Ukraine."

The statement contains comments on the project of the Nord Stream-2 gas pipeline:

Gas imports to the EU will remain stable until 2030, due to optimization of domestic fuel consumption. Given that the EU has created the necessary infrastructure for the supply of gas, including the supply of liquefied natural gas (LNG), we consider the Nord Stream-2 project a pointless prospect.

The same material states that this does not negate the possibility of the EC to negotiate with Russia to create a legal framework for the construction of the Nord Stream-2 gas pipeline. The Russian Foreign Ministry said that the attempts of the European Commission to obtain on behalf of the whole EU the right to negotiate the Nord Stream-2 are groundless.

Indeed, where does the EC get such zeal for negotiations, if the EC itself declares that the SP-2 is “hopeless”?

Earlier, international analytical agencies published a report stating that gas consumption up to the 2040 year (the year beyond which no forecasts were made) will grow, including Europe.

Support, not against But an empty pipe! By the way, the closer the end date of the transit, the more moaning and hysteria. By the way, Gazprom is ready to go on saving transit. Under certain conditions. But exposing the conditions to cheaters and scammers is hopeless. And yet. The new gas pipeline seems pointless to small players (mongrels), BECAUSE THEY DO NOT HAVE ANYTHING TO IT. And Germany, for one, is just right!

1 January 2020 year ends an agreement with Ukraine for the supply of gas from Russia to Europe. By this time, the Turkish Stream will be launched. And JV-2 has not been stopped by construction yet.

Christian Europe is ruled by the Jews of the "Rothschilds" and others like them. Very smart and tricky. “Let’s allow the construction of gas pipelines if you give us the profit from transit.” What are Kolya’s previous proposals to Putin “to build a partner market from Lisbon to Vladivostok?”

Soros refuel there thoroughly, soooooooooooooooooooossss !!!

Thanks to the long-standing enemy of the scandalous billionaire - Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban - the Soros list has finally become public. On this list are deputies of the European Parliament who are lobbying for the financier’s projects and are changing EU legislation from its submission. A special point in the dossier on them is the attitude to Russia. It depends on him whether they are friends of Soros or enemies.

This is a voluminous document that collects information about 226 members of the European Parliament, which are ideological allies of the Open Society. They are supposed to be attracted to promote Soros’s favorite ideas - settling Europe in migrants, ensuring “gender equality”, legalizing same-sex marriages, rapprochement of Ukraine with the EU and, of course, Russia's opposition.

We consider the Nord Stream-2 project a pointless prospect.

To leave these figures without gas for a couple of months in the winter (of course, not really because of the concluded agreements) and see how after that they will unanimously “support” Ukraine. Most of all muddied by the Baltic states. Their countries are hard to find on the map, and the stench of them all over the world.

They quickly adopted a “short historical memory” from the West - Latvia must remember exactly how the pipe was turned off for Ventspils: it clicked and a quarter of the budget evaporated ..

Gazprom has obligations to European consumers, the failure to fulfill which entails major penalties. While transit risks are wholly borne by Gazprom. If not for this, the EU would not be so bold. The behavior of the EC in this case is nothing more than a particular manifestation of consumer extremism. To discuss the subtleties of the topic, one must be familiar with the terms of gas supply agreements. And then ... some kind of dense collective farm ....

[Mikhail m]

The published material stated that Brussels "will always support the transit of Russian gas through the territory of Ukraine."

But are not such actions an interference in the internal affairs of Russia? That’s how I regard the attempts to force our country to sell our gas according to the rules established by Brussels bureaucrats. European countries have long surrendered their sovereignty to their greedy little hands. Now they are trying to get to Russia by quiet glanders.

[Vladimir71]

A couple of years of reforms in the country and the great transport power with its GTS, twist them such a fig that in the end they themselves will build this northern stream)))

That's when we will build not for Europe, but for the interests of the people of Russia, for whom two things are important now: 1-total gasification of our country, in the shortest possible time! !! 2-Pipeline through ukroinu need to be excluded from our priorities, supplying gas to Europe to bypass ukroiny! !!

[Vasya Vassin]

But when did they do it, the interests of the people? Do not rock the boat!

Germany actually already yesterday sent the EC on foot erotic journey about the "SP-2", calling it a purely commercial project. Yes and more. And will the Ukrainian EC GTS itself also be repaired? I'll give you a hole in a hole!

Yeah. Depreciation 80% (2015). Since 1991 repair and maintenance work has not been carried out.

I'm in December 2013 was on a business trip to Naftagaz, in the Sumy health institution, defects were examined. The overall impression is poverty. To remove 8 pipes, they could not find 8 tons of solariums. They also threw us at the grandmother. They did not pay about 90 million rubles in 2013 prices ... But the pipes there are really bad. How it is not clapping is a mystery to me ...

And in more detail about the state of the Ukrainian GTS is possible? Very interesting is the opinion of a specialist "from the topic." With a living example. Maybe some photos are for clarity?

And in more detail about the state of the Ukrainian GTS is possible?

According to the very same Naftogazovtsev. As early as 2013, up to 50-60% of gas compressor units required urgent replacement. The linear part (the pipes themselves) is extremely rarely repaired - when there is nowhere to run ... VTD (in-line diagnostics) is carried out irregularly and not in full. Many companies conducting VTD refuse to work with hahly under any plausible pretexts. I don’t know how things are now, but in 2013, for example, ROSEN refused to cooperate with them. And they have a lot of pipes. The situation is somewhat saved by the absence of fatigue cracks in Ukraine (the so-called “stress corrosion cracking” -KRN) in bulk. But other defects do not disappear! For example - the most popular of them is "corrosion". And defects live their own lives, develop ...
But even this is not the most important thing. The main thing is the incredible poverty of hospitals that directly service the pipe and the lack of a built-in system for diagnosing and repairing the linear part. For overhauls and re-insulation they stupidly have no money. The GTS of Ukraine, according to my concepts, is a huge bomb, not so deeply buried in the ground, the length from the eastern border of Ukraine to its western border. Mass incidents involving gaps are only a matter of time.
In Gazprom, for example, on every section of the gas transport and fuel injection engine, it is carried out once every 1-3 years without fail + there are extraordinary passes associated with all sorts of circumstances ... And the repairs of the linear part are ongoing. Pipes do not regret it. Not even enough ...

Thank you very much for your responsiveness. In your opinion, with the current system of operation of the hydraulic system, how much longer will it be in working condition? When, tentatively, can one expect mass outbursts and a vivid demonstration of the inability of the GTS to perform its function according to its technical condition? That is, when will it become obvious to the European Commission and the end user in Europe? Thanks in advance...

[evil partisan]

Quote: ARES623

When, roughly, you can expect massive gusts

If nothing is done urgently, then after 10 years, pipe-pipe. Each explosion "stirs" the entire system in a given area and provokes the development of defects that were in a stable state. For example, welding defects and fatigue cracks.
And breaks at hahlov occur regularly right now. True, on the Naftogaz website you will not know anything about them - they have been hiding statistics for some time. If only near some sort of settlement it explodes, then we will learn from ukroSMI. I know that last year, on the border with Slovakia, it did not explode. There is still a problem in the lack of pipes and valves due to the huge variety of diameters used. This is all from the words of the Naftagaz residents themselves. I don’t think it has become better in 4 years.

But statistics say the opposite - Europe’s gas consumption is only growing. Someone has the wrong scores.

[SOF]

... yes easy, let them support. They buy our gas on our border and .... forward, to a brighter future, through the expanses of independence. How much gas, in the end, will they receive at the outlet and how much maydanutym will send for transit - their "allied" problems.

[Fedorov]

Then Ukraine will have to sell the gas transmission system to geyropa. And in (on) Ukraine they won’t do this, the trough is still that. It is easier for them to snatch as much as possible before the kirdyk of the Ukrainian GTS has come.

[PValery53]

"The European Commission: We will continue to support the transit of Russian gas through Ukraine"
- No, well, you think! The EC (European Commission) has an attempt to dispose of Russian gas! What audacity! - Do not want our gas in the Nordstream - suck on a paw (or something else)!

Germany is right. But the European Commission and other "international" structures are engaged in the politicization of everything and everyone, just to annoy Russia. It doesn't matter if it's a pipeline or an Olympic Games.

Well, since they don’t understand for good, they need to sabotage (blow up the pipe) at the right time in Ukraine, everything is exactly the same, they dump everything on us, but here at least it’s waking up, there’s a lot of those who hate power

[Alexey-74]

It's a shame our gas, and we are also dictated by the conditions for how to transport it. And if you think for a second, go on the principle and turn the valve ???? Yes, even in winter ....... Under the USSR, especially under Stalin, it is difficult to imagine such a situation. They would say so! And the point! And the “partners” would not have gone anywhere.

[Berkut24]

Let the Ukrainian GTS be supported, what are the issues. But at his own expense. It will be possible to take Russian gas from Germany. We do not mind.
In general, if we talk about the European Commission itself, then its powers cannot extend to projects outside the EU. SP-2 passes by all the territorial waters of the EU countries, and a private pipe of a German company will go on land.

[turbris]

Let Europe decide for itself whether they need Nord Stream-2 or not, but Russia must categorically confirm the cessation of gas supply through Ukraine after 2019, so far some timid statements. Of course, it’s clear that there is an undercover struggle, but one must be prepared for the fact that this will have to be done without a new gas pipeline. I think that now from our "well-wishers" the phrase "Putin is to blame for everything" will appear on the site.

[private person]

Well, right now, Russia feeds (pays for transit) and warms (don’t say gas is stolen) Ukrainians and then the EU will have to if transit through hohland is covered. But something tells me ours will not refuse transit, "because there are brotherly people."

[Zomanus]

Pffff. They don’t want the SP-2, let our liquefied gas be carried by American gas carriers.
We are not proud people in this regard.

[RECORHE]

They reel in horror to force Russia to maintain a kennel with its jackal. Not to the lodge, but figs to you!

[Nemesis]

Russia should make it clear to the EU that gas will be supplied either bypassing Ukraine or will cease supply altogether. The EU does not want to pay for Russian gas on meters on the border of the Russian Federation with Ukraine, and Russia is not obliged to supply gas to Kiev thieves for free.

[Selin Andrey]

It seems to me that a long time has come to switch to "short" contracts. I don’t understand the very statement of the question - “we will support”. Yes, support anything. There is a seller, there is a buyer. Do not like it - do not take it. What problems?

Who would doubt that.
The only question is what methods and at whose expense is the banquet?
