The US press spoke about Ukrainian lobbyists helping Washington to prepare sanctions against the SP-2 gas pipeline

It became known about Ukrainian lobbyists helping Washington prepare sanctions against the SP-2 gas pipeline. We are talking about Vadim Glamazdin and Alexander Kharchenko, who have been in Washington for at least the last four years and, among other things, are helping the United States in its attempts to stop the Russian Nord Stream 2 gas pipeline.

This is reported by the American newspaper The Wall Street Journal. The US press said that lobbyists from Ukraine are taking part in the development of sanctions against Nord Stream 2.

According to WSJ, Vadim Glamazdin represents Naftogaz and is responsible for relations with government agencies. Oleksandr Kharchenko is an employee of the National Security and Defense Council of Ukraine. They are also assisted in their work by the American lobbyist Daniel Vadich.

These two Ukrainian citizens and one American interacted with some senators, including Ted Cruise. The publication claims that Vadic is an advisor to Cruz. Previously, he helped restrict Rosneft's access to modern technologies with the help of a "well-designed package of anti-Russian sanctions." The same method was used against Nord Stream 2.

The publication writes that in 2018 it was Glamazdin and Kharchenko who drew attention to the fact that Russia does not have its own vessels capable of laying large-diameter pipes under water. Then they advised to subject to sanctions for participation in the construction of the Russian gas pipeline foreign companies that own such pipelayers. This was the reason for the withdrawal of its vessels by the Swiss company AllSeas, which took part in the implementation of the project. Because of this, the work had to be suspended.

Then Russia decided to transfer from the Far East and re-equip the ship "Akademik Chersky". The US response step, in the preparation of which Ukrainian specialists also participated, is the imposition of sanctions against companies providing insurance and certification services to Russian courts.

The Nord Stream 2 project involves laying a gas pipeline directly from Russia to Germany along the bottom of the Baltic Sea. 93 percent of the work has already been completed. According to Nord Stream 2, the resumption of construction is scheduled for December this year.

If you are so "fair", go to politics and steer there. It's good to criticize sitting on the couch. Do you know everything? Are you deciding something for the country as a whole? Are you ready to control the fate of people? They all knock on the chest with their fists exactly until they have to take responsibility. And then they deflate like balls.

Now we can assume why the IMF does not give a loan, there is no money to lobby for a loan, all are "mastered" to fight the joint venture

[orionvitt]

As far as I know, the very concept of "lobbying", by definition, provides for the process of transferring money to an influential politician, or political circles, in exchange for their assistance in your interests. As far as I know, Ukraine has no money (the oligarchs will strangle themselves), and the US State Department and the US Congress, quite in their own interests, are doing everything to screw up Russia. The peculiarity of Ukrainian politics is that it has absolutely no influence on international events. Ukraine, an object of politics, but a subject.

We must know by sight these "heroes"
Vadim Glamazdin, advisor to the chairman of the board of Naftogaz of Ukraine, aggressively lobbies for the interests of DTEK (owner - Rinat Akhmetov)

and the director of the Center for Energy Research Alexander Kharchenko, back in 2016 he was introduced to the then US Secretary of State Rex Tillerson, who helped him get to know Daniel Weidich, a representative of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee.

It was the work of Ukrainian "experts" that brought ExxonMobil out of the JV - 2 project - as a result of this, Rosneft lost a number of important technologies. Among the "works" of Glamazdin and Kharchenko are "quarrels" with the Allseas company, which worked on the laying of the gas pipeline and was forced to suspend the work.

[Zaurbek]

There will always be some kind of experts. There and our "sufferers" is full.

This is your opinion. Think with stamps. Since the 90s, people have been reformatted, the result has been achieved. What was the USSR built on? On the idea of ​​communism and the construction of a social state, where the owner is a man of labor, where public ownership of mineral resources, land, etc.
Now there is no idea, every man for himself, what idea can Russia offer? - Russian oligarchism? Destruction of the welfare state?
So in Ukraine this is its bulk. And why should they change an awl for soap? Who buried "Russian Spring"? - Ukraine?
Having lost their head through their hair, they don't cry. It is necessary to perceive reality as it is. The world has become different and it is just stupid not to notice it

[Pavel73]

Who buried "Russian Spring"? Ukraine, of course! The fascist government of Ukraine simply took the entire population hostage and staged an ostentatious punitive operation in the Donbas. That is, "if you rock the boat, you will be the same as with Donbass." Ordinary terror.

in fact, it is so cleverly written there. And the results immediately got into the pre-trial case.

"In general, the audit of Naftogaz identified financial violations and revealed facts of ineffective management actions or risky operations that led or may lead to losses of financial and material resources in the amount of UAH 176 billion, including financial violations that led to losses of 75,5, XNUMX billion hryvnia, "- said the head of the government Gennady Plis.
Although the company itself easily explains these numbers.

in general, they led, they can lead .. let the court decide what is happening there.
It is not clear from the press what they attribute to losses and shortages. The state and the company consider its assets and activities differently.

From sources close to JV2: "In connection with the withdrawal from the project, the Norwegian certification company DNV GL hired another company. Now, with the new regulator, it is required to re-conduct the entire complex of practical testing. This is what Akademik Chersky will do next week on the measuring line. in the territorial waters of Russia near the Curonian Spit We have an agreement with the new consulting company to issue an official certificate right on board the pipelayer, immediately after the completion of the necessary tests.
In the meantime, it was decided not to wait for the certified "Chersky" and start laying with "Fortune". Why the barge will be towed to the start of work by December 2. "
Something like this. In the near future we will see how much you can trust the source.

How could 2 Ukrainians freeze these streams? Either they are very smart, or woodpeckers in the gas industry, especially Europe does not need gas, Europe is gradually switching to green energy, and Australia is actively supplying liquefied gas.

These two citizens of Ukraine and one American

If the whole trouble was solely in these three, then it would be tolerable and even solvable. But when at the level of the President of the United States an assertion is made that "SP-2" can harm American national security, then these three are automatically pushed into the background. Of course, it's unpleasant when two Ukrainian representatives go out of their way to harm Russia, but that's why they are representatives of this country, so that we crap. It remains to wait until "Naftogaz" is completely covered with a copper basin.

right
The bilateral package agreement stipulates that in order to continue transit, the Russian energy company Gazprom will conclude an inter-operator agreement with GTS Operator of Ukraine LLC, and an agreement with the state-owned company Naftogaz of Ukraine to book transportation facilities.
"Operator of GTS of Ukraine" is who provides transit.

Ukraine has refused purchases and has not been buying gas from Russia for a long time, several years, since 2015, in my opinion.

What the hell are you talking about!
Show where on the map the pipes go from the EU to Ukraine with gas and when were the gas pipelines built? I know only two pipes and those volumes of transportation to the Lviv region are not enough
They take gas from the export gas pipeline, they only carry papers about re-export, a long-established scheme !!!

[Avior]

And no matter what paper they carry, Ukraine does not pay money for gas to Gazprom, which means that there is no gas sale to Ukraine and there is nothing to refuse.
Gazprom pays Ukraine for transit and fines, but this is not a sale of gas.

[APASUS]

Quote: Avior

no matter what paper they carry, Ukraine does not pay money for gas to Gazprom,

Gas is taken from the export pipe at the limit of the same Hungary (for example) and money is transferred to them. What does this not add up? Formally, it is Hungarian, but naturally we supply gas to Ukraine, not Hungarians, not Slovaks or Poles, there are no gas pipelines to Ukraine cleanly technically there is no way to supply gas! And according to the documents, they buy it in Zanzabar, as well as coal from Donbass, through the USA !!

[Avior]

According to the documents and in fact, they buy it in Hungary, but what they actually take from the pipe directly, so they take money for transit from Gazprom, but in fact there is no transit, so the price is actually lower for Ukraine
And since Ukraine buys in Hungary, Gazprom cannot refuse to sell to Ukraine, no one asks him.

[APASUS]

Quote: Avior

And since Ukraine buys in Hungary, Gazprom cannot refuse to sell to Ukraine, no one asks him.

That's why they are so opposed to SP-2. As soon as they stop supplying to the EU through a pipe, through Ukraine, everything will be covered, the money itself is the gas first of all.

Class! Ukraine produces about 20 billion cubic meters a year, and consumes about 30. And they will be able to buy these 10 cubic meters from Europe, do I understand correctly?
And you still need to buy 10 billion cubic meters, in order to pump it all in the opposite direction.
Carrying toilet paper with BELAZ is a very profitable enterprise!

[Avior]

Yes, they can buy. Actually, they still buy it in Europe.
Pumping does not require such costs. Gas must be distributed in any case.

Avior (Sergey)

Ukraine refused to purchase and does not buy gas from Russia

Yes, I do not want to And what do they drown with? Here is a question, and where does the gas come from in Dill. By pipe from Russia, but no, Russia disappears, probably liquefied from America, or liquefied from Qatar. So they still need to be liquefied. And where is this hub located? Do not remember Norwegian, there is not much of it left and no one is going to sell it to Ukraine. Well, justify the GENERAL -chay gas in Ukraine. Don't even stutter about the reverse, the children probably already understand that this is nonsense, the reverse is on the papers, but in fact everything is as it was.

[Avior]

gas of the one who sells it, of course, whoever it was physically from the beginning.
Gazprom has not sold gas to Ukraine for five years.
but on the site in the discussions periodically there are those who want to give up sales, which have not been for five years ...

Here I agree with you, while the second Nord is unfinished. It will be difficult to dictate the conditions.

[Avior]

And for another four years after that, under the Gazprom contract, Ukraine will have to pay for gas transit, even if it was not actually pumped. The contract is for five years, the first year has passed.
this is if SP2 is now completed.
