Merkel: Gas in the SP-2 pipeline will not be worse than gas going through Ukraine and Turkey

During her speech at PACE (Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe) in a remote format, German Chancellor Angela Merkel touched upon the implementation of the Nord Stream 2 project. Recall that this project has been implemented by about 95%. It remains to lay less than 130 km of pipes along the bottom of the Baltic Sea. However, at the same time, the commercial project is facing incredible pressure - primarily from the United States, which is trying to promote its LNG on the European market.

According to Merkel, she is well aware of all the disputes and contradictions that relate to Nord Stream 2. At the same time, she unambiguously noted that "the choice in favor of this gas pipeline has already been made."

According to the German Chancellor, Berlin and Brussels have developed a consolidated position within the framework of the new "gas" directive. As a result, this directive allows the construction of SP-2 and the pumping of gas from Russia through it.

Merkel:

Now I want to say that the gas from Nord Stream 2 will be no worse than the gas that is already flowing through SP-1, as well as through pipelines through Ukraine and Turkey.

So Merkel actually trolled all those who declare the need to stop the construction of the SP-2 gas pipeline, since "Europe will become dependent on Russia and specifically on Russian gas."

At the same time, Angela Merkel made it clear that in Europe today there are forces that are fighting for power and for these purposes are trying to use their populist political statements where the matter has nothing to do with politics.

Let's remind that parliamentary elections are coming soon in Germany. Opponents of SP-2 expect the failure of Merkel's party and the emergence of a politician at the helm of the Federal Republic of Germany, who will take the most tough stance towards Russia. The position of the CDU-CSU in Germany has really weakened, which is primarily due to restrictions during the pandemic and problems in the field of vaccination.

.Merkel: Gas in the SP-2 pipeline will not be worse than gas going through Ukraine and Turkey

Quite right. There is no need to become victims of the ambitions of an agrarian superpower. Always resentful at everyone.

... MOSCOW, April 20 - RIA Novosti. Russia seeks to turn Ukraine into an "agrarian province" by building gas pipelines bypassing the country, Mikhail Nepran, First Vice President of the Ukrainian Chamber of Commerce and Industry (UCCI), stated in his blog on the Observer portal.

... According to Nepran, such assessments entail extremely unpleasant consequences for Ukraine in geopolitical terms. “In fact, the Russians are creating all the conditions to quickly transform Ukraine from an important mediator between Russia and the EU into an agrarian province. We are methodically, quickly and efficiently removed from the list of key players in the great geopolitical game,” he said.

Nepran expressed the opinion that Ukraine can manage to "jump on the bandwagon of the train, which is already rushing past at full speed," offering Europe "any convenient conditions" up to transferring control of the GTS to representatives of foreign partner countries, or other favorable conditions for the West.

“Only in order not to lose the system as such. In order not to lose almost our last lever of influence on world geopolitics,” concluded the vice-president of the Chamber of Commerce and Industry.
Earlier, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said that opposition to the implementation of the Nord Stream 2 project is a matter of war, not business. He accused Russia of waging an energy war against Ukraine and noted that, as in any war, "someone will definitely lose."

So they "gave up" our gas, before that ruining their industry, what they have left except for metallurgy. Let the Chinese be fed, the great "space and nuclear power" is how they represent themselves, for us.

So they "gave up" from our gas, before that ruining their industry, what they have left there except for metallurgy.

And metallurgy without gas will soon die too. "And on the steppes of Ukraine, free horses and people will walk."

[Alex777]

And in general ... Europe's dependence on Russian gas can always be reduced by transit through Ukraine.

[tralflot1832]

After the start of stream 2, Ukraine will buy gas from us, but the "reverse" of the supply will not shine on it. Such plans have been announced the other day.

[Alex777]

The EU will work in Ukraine. Well done!

[tralflot1832]

When the Ukrainian gas transportation system for metal will be bought by the owners themselves melted down into pure metal.

[Alex777]

And renting assets for scrap is a national fun in Ukraine.
Starting from the sections of Ulyanovsk and ending with the GTS.

[hydrox]

So if Gas stumbles on the doorstep of Ukraine, then how will the GTS be cut to turn it into scrap metal?
They do not understand that gas for them can ONLY be Russian, even if it is LNG, produced by us in the Arctic and sold to the Yankes for resale to Litvin, Pshek and Ukrainians - this scheme has been working for a year already, when we had a bad deal with gas tankers - now it's better ...

[Alex777]

So if Gas stumbles on the doorstep of Ukraine, then how will the GTS be cut to turn it into scrap metal?

Show ingenuity. There is no need to teach horses how to turn everything around into scrap metal.
Born trained.
Of course, I mean a certain and insignificant, but very destructive part of the people.

[Vladimir Mashkov]

Finally, Merkel made a good statement. He understands well that Russian gas is the independence of Germany.

It seems to me that they have not very good metallurgy there either, all the factories were built for the use of coking eel from Donbass, maybe they will try to replace it with another, but then many questions arise - safety, productivity, and price will again be in Novorossiysk to load coal from the Donbass and from Russia onto ships from South Africa?

[Ruslan Sulima]

will they again load coal from the Donbass and from Russia onto ships from South Africa in Novorossiysk?

Do not step on sore calluses!
Donbass has always been a freeloader, downs have always lived here, to separate it with a wall and a nuclear explosion. Well, or an easy option - to occupy everyone in the camps, far from the pioneer ...
Eh, why would we agree to reconciliation? ..

[210ox]

But they have a very good extra money, - russophobia, and in an extreme, aggressive form. So far, she's paid well.

We invested 2bn in SP-5, they are 16bn .. They can be understood especially when you consider that they are being driven into the greenhouse to reduce the competitiveness of German goods, and they have far from everything in order with the industry for 29 months in a row, and only cheap energy and chemical raw materials can change this situation .. And the 404 will remain without gas .. Absolutely .. An empty rusty pipe, and no "reverse" will help ..

They will not be chopped off. Who would it turn down a good deal? By the way, deliveries of Russian diesel fuel were never cut off. Despite all the prerequisites for war. To whom the war, and to whom the mother is dear.

[max702]

What is the benefit then? Something tells me that right now the gas is pretty much stolen, and ours keep keeping quiet so as not to pump it up .. Until the contracts are closed with the help of SP-2, there will be no sudden movements, but then it is very likely because there will be nothing to blackmail us with the 404th ... And the prerequisites to the war it is so fake nothing there could be, combined business with pleasure by carrying out maneuvers ..

With Frau Chancellor, everything is clear, until the fall and that's it.
Who will come for her and what he will do is very interesting.

[cniza]

This is how Armin Laschet decided:

[rocket757]

There is also Markus Söder !!! a serious figure from all sides, he does not hold political weight and experience!
Let's wait, see ...

[cniza]

The most votes (31) were collected by the Prime Minister of the federal state of North Rhine-Westphalia Armin Laschet. The second place with nine votes was taken by the leader of the Christian Social Union Markus Zeder. His party is part of the ruling bloc of the CDU-CSU.

So it seems everyone has decided.

[rocket757]

No, no, the Söder party, it is in Bavaria and is not subordinate to the Merkel party .... there are difficult friendly relations!
Those. until Zöder himself REFUSES to fight for the chancellor's office, nothing has yet been decided. In general, we'll take a look.

[cniza]

Of course he will not refuse, but his party is a member of the bloc and is unlikely to pull the elections on its own, let alone win them ...

[rocket757]

If Laschet does not succeed, and this may happen, Zöder will not stand aside, he has serious support.
In general, these are their affairs, themselves, themselves ...

[cniza]

Yes, he is very active and, by the way, has a very good attitude towards Russia ...

[rocket757]

He is very pragmatic, has common sense and cares about his own people ... of course, not ours, but with such a position, he just happened to be somewhere nearby!

There is a suspicion that it will be better than gas through Ukraine and Turkey. Than? I suspect it's cheaper. And there is even a suspicion that in the first few years for Germany (possibly for someone else) there will be exclusive discounts on the supply. And the fact that these discounts have already been negotiated at an oral high level. Moreover, it is not so difficult, since the domestic prices for gas and electricity in Germany are the highest in Europe.
