The Security Council explained why the Russian Navy is guarding ships for the "Nord Stream - 2"

63

The Russian Federation has connected its warships to guard the ships participating in the Nord Stream 2 project. Previously, the Russian Navy accompanied the Akademik Chersky pipelayer and auxiliary vessels during the transition to the Baltic Sea.

The reason for the adoption of these measures was explained by the Deputy Secretary of the Security Council of the Russian Federation Mikhail Popov during an interview with the news agency Interfax.



He said such precautions are necessary due to the risk of provocations from some countries:

Ships of the Naval fleet ensured the safe passage of the pipe-laying vessel “Akademik Chersky” and supply vessels “Ostap Sheremeta” and “Ivan Osipenko” from Vladivostok to Kaliningrad.

The construction of the pipeline had to be suspended due to the sanctions imposed by the United States in December last year. Due to the threat of falling under them, the pipe-laying vessels of the Swiss company Allseas curtailed work. Then the Gazprom company decided to complete the pipe-laying on its own. In January, President Vladimir Putin announced the decision of the Russian Federation to complete the project. He said that the gas pipeline will be launched without fail, but several months later than planned. As far as is known, the pipe-laying work at the final section has not yet begun.

        Does the lack of special equipment to continue the project on board the pipelayer surprise you?
        What is there to guard at all?
        If Chersky today is neither technically nor technologically capable of laying large-diameter pipes? Unable to continue laying the SP-2 pipes?
        What is he doing in the area anyway?
        Why not retrofitted? Looking forward to next cod spawning season?

            Am I asking this?
            I am asking a specific question: why is Chrsky not being modernized? Why isn't new equipment being installed that can complete the flow?
            Nothing of your own? Again you have to bow to the damned bourgeois? Is it tearful to ask the West?
            Well, it’s right to talk about it, and not fool around with the security of the ship, from which at the moment there is no good for SP-2.

              First, who will tell you the truth now, whether it is being modernized or not? Secondly, Chersky can lay the gas pipeline together with Fortuna. Fortune cooks, Chersky lays the thread. Does this answer suit you?

      And we attract the fleet, we overestimate the cost of construction (well, at least they will practice), when they will pay off, it is not known (applies to ALL built flows).

        If the pipeline troops in Crimea are engaged in water supply, then why should they not be engaged in laying and protecting gas pipelines? This pipelayer had to be handed over to the RF Armed Forces long ago, as well as all oil and gas production platforms and vessels operating outside the territorial waters of the RF. Immediately, the number of platforms carrying weapons would increase several times. Moreover, I participate in economic activities, these dual-purpose vessels not only paid off, but also made a profit.

          From the comments you can understand who you are and what you breathe.
          Want a list of businesses please
          owned by the state about 50,23%. Of these, 38,37% are owned by the Federal Property Management Agency. Another 10,9 7% is controlled by JSC Rosneftegaz, and the remaining 0,89% is owned by JSC
          So almost 50% of the interest is owned by the oligarch
          And the state budget is replenished from the pocket of hard workers who already receive crumbs
          But you just need to say to all this one thing for the public that the owner of even 0,01% of shares brings millions in profits to the pocket of the oligarch, but not the state

            By the way, JSC "Rosneftegaz" is one hundred percent property of the state, so it turns out because of how you have designated one hundredth percent of the shares in private ownership, all your stuffing? 99,99% of the shares, that is, property (I repeat, this is your calculations), because of this, are not subject to control and protection? Do not make grimaces and look at what you breathe yourself, you yourself answered the question of who you are. Who I am I know without you, do not bother to get personal.

              And please read my attentive comment before commenting on it.
              It clearly states that almost half of the shares are owned by private individuals, that is, oligarchs, and for comparison, I gave an example that 0,01% brings millions of income and owns almost 50% of the shares that bring them a total of billions of dollars in profits and you do not need to turn over completely that you did not understand something.

                As you wrote so, I understood whether now it has clarified, well, okay. Further - our state is us, the territory and everything on it and under it, also above it, respectively, state property, your private property, mine, the oligarch, including - this is also a state, for it, that is, the state and its property as well as the population, our state has and maintains an army and some power structures to ensure the normal life of the state, its security and encroachments from outside. On your one state should provide all of the above, while others do not? I don't give a damn about all sorts of oligarchs and other spiders in the bank, they do without me, and even more so without them, but all they have is their money bringing taxes to the state, in your words, billions, and therefore it is necessary to ensure all this safety. We live in a capitalist state amongst the same capitalist states, where private property is the basis and inviolable.
