Close the Nord Stream 2 project or supply missiles to Kiev: Europe is discussing how to respond to Russia because of the situation in Ukraine

German politician Manfred Weber of the Christian Social Union leads the right-wing conservative European People's Party and has chaired its faction in the European Parliament since 2014. The other day he told the press that if the tension between Russia and Ukraine does not subside, Nord Stream 2 will no longer be able to hold on. Then the project will be closed.

German politicians discuss "decisive response" to Russia

According to Weber, Russian President Vladimir Putin is deliberately aggravating the situation and creating real threats to Ukraine, using Russia's military superiority. According to the German politician, such actions pose a serious danger to the European Union, along with other manifestations of "Russian aggression", to which Weber referred to "cyberattacks, disinformation, murders."

In connection with the situation in Ukraine, Weber submitted new sanctions against our country for discussion by the European Parliament. According to Weber, the current sanctions against Russia testify to the unity of the US and the EU, but if an escalation of the conflict takes place in eastern Ukraine, then Russia will have to give a decisive rebuff. So, as one of the extreme measures, Weber considers the exclusion of Russia from the international SWIFT system.

Manfred Weber has chaired the EPP in the European Parliament since 2014

In addition, as the German politician notes, Russia can be influenced by creating obstacles to the construction and launch of the Nord Stream 2 gas pipeline. Weber proposes to give Russia the opportunity to complete the construction of the SP-2, but at the same time to make the gas flow directly dependent on the behavior of the Russian authorities. If it does not suit the West in relation to the situation in Ukraine, then gas supplies through the pipeline can be stopped.

Another German politician, Alexander Lambsdorf of the Free Democratic Party, adheres to the same position. He also proposes to make Russia understand that if Moscow continues to "prepare a military operation against Ukraine," then the SP-2 project will be closed. The representative of Christian Democrats in the European Parliament Michael Galer went even further: he said that Europe should supply Ukraine with defensive weapon.

If there are Russian Tanks, then the Ukrainians should have anti-tank missiles so that they can defend themselves as soon as the Russian army crosses the border,

- stressed Galer.

A softer position is traditionally taken by representatives of Austria. So far, Vienna has spoken out against the next anti-Russian sanctions, although they express concern about Moscow's policy towards Kiev.

The reaction of ordinary Europeans

The opinion of ordinary Europeans on this matter is interesting.

The pipeline should at least be suspended until Russia makes real concessions. Because as soon as it starts working, Russia will get even more effective leverage,

- emphasizes one of the commentators of Die Zeit.

Naturally, there are many familiar comments about “despot Putin” and the need to abandon the gas pipeline altogether, since Europe allegedly does not need it. Well, in Washington, they probably know better than the Germans or the French themselves about the energy needs of their countries.

However, there are also more adequate opinions. Thus, Vater von Luthien recalls that one should not blame only Russia for military preparations:

There are no reports anywhere that the US and NATO are moving 30 people and 15 pieces of military equipment to the Russian border at the same time - right now.

The Italian Alessandro Lucca also took part in the discussion. He's writing:

Italy participates in the SP-2 project and will continue to support construction. After all, Italy is still interested in good relations with Russia, and the European Union should refrain from such remarks.

As you can see, not everyone in Europe is hostile towards Russia, but on the whole, the level of negative attitude is growing, and this is the direct fault of those very European politicians who sign new agreements with Russia with one hand and anti-Russian sanctions with the other. As for the future SP-2, it will still be determined by figures with a political rank much higher than the numerous factionalists of the European Parliament.

Comments

[New Year day]

"Completion close." Cross out the unnecessary. In autumn everything will be decided

[NIKN]

Close the Nord Stream 2 project or deliver missiles to Kiev

Insanity or provocation? Logically, Ukraine is not threatened or shone, maybe in Ukraine to look for a way out? It seems like there are still a bunch of options, but if they still wanted good for Ukraine, they would have collected options in three volumes.

[For example]

Putin has long outlined - in case of a naughty we will cover the decision-making centers.
The stupid German apparently thinks that the Russians in the Ukraine will get along with each other, and the Nazis will sit out in Germany.
They say we will put weapons on Ukraine and we will contemplate from afar on a fratricidal war.

In this scenario, a scribe from the east will come to the Ukrainian fascists and this animal will come to the German fascists. And no border guards will stop him.

[Vladimir Mashkov]

And here the American mongrels from Germany barked! Only this is all useless: German business, Merkel and Laschet say YES to Nord Stream 2!

[210ox]

I think it will be decided sooner. But in any case, it will be a shot in the leg for the EU. Well, nothing good for us.

[keeper03]

For us, the Iron Curtain is just right - in the conditions of which, as history has shown, we can live and develop beautifully !!! So you need to continue to defend your interests!

[hohohol]

Precisely in the fall! In September, old Merkel will retire. And what would she occupy herself with if not distributing gas. An old hag will perch at the gas valve and, together with Schroeder, will distribute gas flows across Europe - he sits on the first line, it on the second. Good job in retirement.

[210ox]

She will deal with the distribution of elephants. In the gas business, everything is already divided (I mean briefcases and armchairs)

[keeper03]

There is no need to anger Russia, otherwise everyone will feel bad! You will fly and fart all the way to America !!!

[keeper03]

What, it became scary? Ah, minusoids ?!

"Completion close." Cross out the unnecessary. In autumn everything will be decided

If everything were so simple, the question would not be "so simple" at all.
Considering that the gas pipeline's capacities have already been bought out for 17 years ahead, while 25% of its capacities remain free for other suppliers, it can be assumed that the usual dramatization of the "decisive resistance" of the German politicians is underway to pacify the main economic enemy of SP-2 represented by the United States. The ground part of the German SP-2 has already been tested and is working by transferring gas flowing through the SP-1, waiting for a full load after the completion of welding of the outermost pipes of the SP-2. It must be admitted that the actions of the mattresses to oppose the construction of the SP-2 stimulated the "allies" to play the dark. It would be impossible for an adult to fit into the project and get his share, the mattresses stupidly decided to lay their paws on the entire gas market in Europe, which cannot suit European business. If there were no obvious benefits, then nothing would have forced Europe to fit into this project even at the stage of its approval, and when more than 10 billion dollars have already been invested in the project, it is hardly so easy to force them to abandon it. The Germans received gas from the USSR even at a time when its army was behind the fence in the GDR, and now, when there is no threat of military invasion, it is clearly not in their interests to lose billions of dollars in income from some kind of murky Ukraine.

[KAV]

But if you think about it, for a second, a funny thing will become clear. Here are all those German politicians who are drowning for the abolition of the SP-2, they are not just puppets of the United States, they are also enemies of Germany, it turns out. After all, they are trying to deprive Germany of a profitable deal and business in the future with their statements. That is, they conduct subversive activities against their state in the interests of the United States.

[Svarog]

Quote: KAV

That is, they conduct subversive activities against their state in the interests of the United States.

It's just that the USA is more interesting for them as a partner .. so there is nothing subversive there. There, the sales market for German goods is ten times higher than in the Russian Federation .. But when money flows from the Russian Federation to offshore ... there is really subversive work .. in the interests of the United States.

[For example]

Quote: Svarog

There, the sales market for German goods is ten times higher than in the Russian Federation.

Many German factories are now located in China. Those who remained in Germany are forced to compete with Chinese manufacturers. The price of energy resources is an important component in the cost price.

And the US market does not belong to the Germans. There will be more Chinese goods.

So, everything is not so simple, comrade Svarog.

But regarding the withdrawal of the dough from Russia, I agree with you - an anti-state matter, moreover, anti-people.

[210ox]

Production, yes. And the offices are in Germany. They both distribute finances and exercise control. And at many factories in Germany, you won't even see the Germans themselves in the shops. Only at the plant management.

[Vladimir Lenin]

Here is a double-edged sword, Germany can export its goods at competitive prices for a trillion dollars, only on condition of an uninterrupted supply of cheap energy from Russia. There will be no them, there will be no German economy of the economy in its present form. That is, the situation will repeat itself as with the Third Reich!

[210ox]

That's interesting. I work at a factory where all German equipment is "Buhler". They already blocked the breathing valve for us about six years ago. According to the automated process control system, products are dual-use.

[KAV]

Quote: Svarog

It's just that the USA is more interesting for them as a partner ..

In what place is the USA more interesting for them? Really in terms of energy? Buy liquefied gas from them at an exorbitant price? Is this called more interesting? But...

Quote: Svarog

There, the sales market for German goods is ten times higher

So with expensive energy resources, they will sadly give way to those countries that have cheaper energy resources.

Quote: Svarog

But when money flows from the Russian Federation to offshore ... there is really subversive work ... in the interests of the United States.

Well, how can we do without it ... Nothing that the topic of news and discussion about something else. You need to expel from yourself the stench that interferes with breathing towards our country, like everyone around is stealing and taken to offshore, and only one truth-teller Svarog sits at a broken trough ... What a pain!

[gsev]

Quote: KAV

they are not just puppets of the United States, they are also enemies of Germany, it turns out.

It's just that the West is pursuing a policy of economic containment of Russia. Russia has consistently invested in the pipeline system of Ukraine, Bulgaria, Turkey and Germany. As a result, I only lost money. Therefore, it is necessary to abandon the sale of gas to Europe via pipelines and adopt a retaliatory policy of containing Europe. The sooner Russia refuses to build the SP-2, the less money it will lose.

[Maikcg]

The money for SP-2 has already been spent, finish building, do not finish building. Half (or slightly more) of the EU money.

[Overlock]

It is logical to assume that if there is insurance for half of the investments, then there is also insurance for the second.

[Maikcg]

The project participants are so large that it is somewhat frivolous to say that there are entirely private traders.
Wintershall 100% BASF, well, there are many shareholders, I'm too lazy to look for everyone
Uniper if I'm not mistaken 75% at Fortum, which is the state Finnish
Royal Dutch Shell has a lot of shareholders, but looking at history, one can conclude on behalf of Naglicans), but let's skip, trusts own
OMV has a decisive stake of 31,5% at the state-owned OIAG, ​​50 at the exchange.
Engie again has the largest 35% stake in the French government.

[Ross xnumx]

Quote: gsev

I agree with you. It is the oil and gas needle on which the Russian economy has been planted that is so attractive to Russian oligarchs. The country's natural resources make it possible to manage with a minimum of imports, and the economy is arranged in such a way that it has become problematic to produce final goods. But speculation has never been the engine of progress.

[Okolotochny]

It is the oil and gas needle on which the Russian economy was put

First, they put the economy of the USSR on this needle. The main foreign exchange earnings came from the pipe. Can you tell me who planted it?

[210ox]

[Yura]

Quote: KAV

After all, with their statements they are trying to deprive Germany of a profitable deal and business in the future.

Countries participating in the project (for 2020):
Russia (Gazprom);
Germany (E.ON, BASF, Wintershall, Uniper);
Netherlands and Great Britain (Shell, Wasco Coatings Europe BV);
Austria ("OMV");
France ("Engie");
Czech Republic (NET4Gas);
Finland (Fortum, Wasco);
Switzerland (Allseas AG);
Malta (Pioneering Spirit);
Slovakia;
Norway (Kvaerner).
The gas pipeline would help save money, since transportation along the new route will cost 20% less than transit through Ukraine ($ 2,1 per 1 cubic meters per 100 km instead of $ 2,5 for the same volume). Thus, Gazprom will save $ 1 billion a year. And this is in addition to the fact that gas from Russia is relatively cheap and certainly cheaper than from the United States, which makes it possible for the European industry to be competitive in the world market. And yes, the initiators of the construction of JV 2 were representatives of European states, which once again emphasizes the profitability and necessity of the project for them.

[gsev]

Quote: Jura

And yes, the initiators of the construction of JV 2 were representatives of European states

However, one should not forget that the Europeans will try to squeeze out profits when transporting gas through oil pipelines.

[Yura]

I agree, but these are already technical issues of a different kind and are decided behind the scenes, so to speak, by the interested parties of both parties, in this case the negotiation processes and the availability of instruments of influence for them.

[Woodman]

then the SP-2 project will be closed.

Let them argue logically: lobbying will bring LNG not so much from the United States as from the Arabs. This will entail a reduction in revenue from gas exports from Russia. A decrease in foreign exchange earnings is a budget cut, and this is a decrease in everything inside the country

[Vladimir Lenin]

Therefore, by extending the hostilities to the entire Middle East, you can deprive Europe of oil and gas!

Are you saying that Russia has not yet built SP2 and has not sold a single cubic meter of gas through it, already in 2020 it lost funds of which it did not exist and could not exist yet?

[New Year day]

Quote: Jura

Are you saying that Russia has not yet built SP2 and has not sold a single cubic meter of gas through it, already in 2020 it lost funds of which it did not exist and could not exist yet?

There was a rather sharp decrease in the export of crude oil (by $ 5,4 billion, or by 21,1%), oil products (by $ 3,9 billion, or by 17,4%), as well as liquefied gas (by 1,1, $ 61,1 billion, or 3,2%). Only the export of natural gas increased (by $ 44,4 billion, or 51,3%). In general, on an annual basis, the total volume of Russia's hydrocarbon exports decreased from $ 45,1 billion to $ 22,1 billion, or by XNUMX%.
Energy Minister Aleksandra Novak (2018): in the next three years, Russia may slightly increase oil production (from 553 million to 570 million tons per year). And then, if you do not take any action, production will begin to decline and within 14 years production will almost halve - from the then level of 11 million barrels per day to 6 million.
In addition, the EU is preparing to introduce special duties on hydrocarbons, incl. and for us.
The downward trend in Russia's foreign exchange earnings from hydrocarbon exports and a reduction in the trade surplus is evident and will continue to grow.

Well, let us, with your idiot actions to support your pet clown and nationalists in the uk-roine, untie our hands for a forceful response to the eternal provocations. Rotten cheap stuff, they forgot when Kiev was stealing gas from the pipe, Russia compensated for its shortage from its own pocket. A hundred Natsiks would have pokashmarit this rotten evroskhodnyak, sabotage, fires, murders and shelling of peaceful people, perhaps with a creak, their brains work. Although, it is unlikely, by inertia, Russia will again be blamed for everything, the madmen. ...

"For May, Gazprom booked additional capacities for pumping gas through Ukraine in the amount of 15 million cubic meters per day - higher than in previous months."
That's it, the war with Ukraine is finally canceled.

I saw this "peremozhnuyu" news in ukroSMI. But in reality it is worthless. Until 2024, we have a "download or pay" contract with Ukraine, so we have been paying for the entire contractual volume when pumping volumes below the contract values ​​for a long time.

[tralflot1832]

Just to your comment, I must add that Gazprom forced Europe to empty its gas storage facilities below the minimum rate and now the injection is only 7% higher than the flow rate. Supplies increased not only through Ukraine, but also along the northern stream 1.

[Asad]

Could it be that the cold winter emptied the storages of Europe? And Gazprom will fill them all summer?

[tralflot1832]

Since January, Gazprom has not increased gas supplies to the Ukrainian direction and even stopped trading on its electronic exchange, forcing Europe to raise gas from storage, last year gas was cheap. Europe was stocked with it as best it could. And the frosts in March and early April helped. Usually ends in Europe. the heating season is at the beginning of March, but we had to heat it up until April 10.

And what is his business, where our tanks ride on OUR territory? Or is the defeat of Adolf Aloizovich Schicklgruber haunted?

Yes, they are not so and what they seem.
To paraphrase a well-known phrase:
"Only business, no logic ..."

Another thing is that people in the EU hawala all this,
without critical thinking.
There is also an explanation for this, as a rule, it is practically impossible for a simple man in the street to understand issues of international relations, what is happening outside their own country.
The average man forms his opinion on the basis of the coverage of the issue in the media and what the government says about this.

If officials and the media lie in the same way, and alternative points of view are absent or discredited, then the average person does not form a critical point of view.

Therefore, in the EU, officials are trying any nonsense, the media picks up on it, it's all good to fall on the already formed Russophobic public opinion.
In especially difficult cases, they arrange provocations with the involvement of special services and fanning a new round of hysteria.

Logic is unnecessary and even harmful here.

Otherwise, after the download of the Turkish branch, only 2-3 countries will remain, recorded on the Ukrainian GTS. And we have to pay them about $ 2.5 billion a year until 2024. even if we download smaller volumes.

By the way, just now. At the meeting of the foreign ministers of the EU countries, sanctions against Russia and the mass expulsion of our diplomats were not discussed.

In addition, the shutters will have to pay Russia huge fines and reimbursement of construction costs, and bury their money spent on SP-2.

If it does not suit the West in relation to the situation in Ukraine, then gas supplies through the pipeline can be stopped.

And how the market will react to this, apparently the author of the words kept silent. Given the tight-fisted Germans in a row, they will want to pay more. And if the Houthis still throw the "toys" more perfectly, so in general there will be "sadness".
