Resolution of the European Parliament calls for disconnecting the Russian Federation from SWIFT and abandoning Russian oil and gas

The topic of Russia's possible disconnection from the SWIFT payment system is gaining momentum. So, today, representatives of the European Parliament have made a proposal to impose sanctions of this kind against the Russian Federation.

The EP said that Russia should be disconnected from SWIFT in the event that "Moscow allows continued aggression against Ukraine." In particular, it is stated that if Russia "violates the territorial integrity and sovereignty of Ukraine," then it is necessary not only to disconnect the Russian Federation from SWIFT, but also to abandon the purchase of Russian hydrocarbons - oil and gas.

These are the words that are presented in the resolution that the European parliamentarians adopted at the end of the plenary session.

It should be noted that threats to disconnect Russia from the SWIFT system have been heard for several years - in fact, since the reunification of Crimea with Russia. At the same time, Moscow has already repeatedly said that such sanctions will harm, first of all, Europe itself and other countries that have a large trade turnover with the Russian Federation. Moreover, Russia has already prepared for any scenarios, including problems with SWIFT, by creating alternative options.

The proposal to abandon the purchase of oil and gas in the Russian Federation looks like natural populism. If the EU countries lose even half of their imports of Russian gas, it will deal an irreparable blow to the economies of the EU countries, which will also affect the political landscape of Europe.

At the same time, it is important to note that the EP resolutions are of a declarative nature if they relate to foreign policy directions.

Somewhere I have already heard this ... I even know how it ended:

[Vladimir Mashkov]

The Europarliamentary "tobacco" of the American "Sherkhan" is trying to intimidate Russia. The EP simply PROPOSES to start an economic war against Russia if it does not allow the Ukrobanderites to deal with the LPNR. Now this is just stupidity, but if Russia stands behind Donbass / Ukraine, then, most likely, this decision will be made by "progressive Europe".

By the way, this decision of the EP indicates that the State Department Did not refuse from the Ukrainian version of "Olui" / "Tempest" and is going to carry it out soon.

You know, this is a thought! I think that the biggest nightmare for Europe will be the result of the referendum, which will definitely be in favor of disconnecting and not selling!
What they want to use against Russia will turn against Europe itself with the full support of the Russians, which again (for the umpteenth time) will make them think about - "The Mysterious Russian Soul".
The trick is that when they ask to resume gas supplies with frozen snot, we will have to hold a referendum on whether or not it is necessary, and without any guarantees that the reverse process will be supported by the Russians.

Go ahead! The States are increasing the volume of oil purchases in Russia, you will buy from them

[nnm]

I'm trying to find this resolution on the agenda, but I don't see it. Today we considered a resolution concerning us on bulk and the Czech Republic, but there is no such thing in the text. Maybe, of course, I'm not looking there, not everything is published on the site, but still: https://www.europarl.europa.eu/news/en/agenda/weekly-agenda
But in principle, I’m even wondering how these Western countries will pay us for gas then? Do you want to send cash trains?
I understand that there is a European analogue of the system, and ours with China, but I’m wondering - well, we don’t want to switch to duplication, will they themselves start to get old teletypes for closed channels from the basements in banks? Or they simply vote because they know that this is a useless piece of paper

[nnm]

In the resolution on the Czechs and Navalny, I found only this:
"If the military build-up leads to a Russian invasion of Ukraine, the EU must clarify the consequences of such a violation of international law and norms, MEPs agreed. Such a scenario should lead to an immediate cessation of EU oil and gas imports from Russia, the exclusion of Russia from the SWIFT payment system, as well as an asset freeze and the abolition of visas to Europe for all oligarchs associated with the Russian authorities. "

- in my opinion, this is far from the same thing as:

The EP said that Russia should be disconnected from SWIFT in the event that "Moscow admits the continuation of aggression against Ukraine"

[Sergey Aleksandrovich]

Don't be fooled, this is actually a ban on aid to Donbass. Horseradish radish is not sweeter. The resolution has been interpreted correctly.

[nnm]

I quoted a QUOTE from the document and gave a link to the source. How to interpret it is up to you. I see the words "IF ... will lead to an invasion", that is, in the future tense, and not in relation to actually already occurring events, as described in the article. If you have a different opinion, then this is your full right.

[Sergey Aleksandrovich]

They do not require any real events, just statements and falsifications.
Once again, do not be misled, the resolution has been interpreted correctly both in spirit and in letter.

[nnm]

Once again - count as you like. Do not be friends with legal vocabulary - your right.

That's right, those who are shouting there and have no idea (even the initial one) what and how it works, these are politicians (at that they are engaged), their task is to shout and nothing more. The EP itself does not have special powers and cannot make decisions (for mandatory implementation).

No, it doesn't.
Very uncomfortable.
The lion's share of ruble transfers goes through the RCC of the CBR.
Swift for rubles is used either not by banks, or by banks whose payments have been disabled.
The Central Bank is trying to launch foreign currency transfers through itself, but this is slow. Although they will most likely be sold.
Only international payments will remain.

Also, Russian officials involved in war crimes in Ukraine will have to appear before an international court.

In the event of the outbreak of hostilities, Russia undertakes to stop the export of oil and gas to the EU, disconnect the EU from payments from Russia, nationalize European assets in the country, eliminate European patents and licenses and prohibit the entry of European partners into Russia.

And it also means imitation of life in the EU, for the EU population, which is already barely making ends meet and for several years now, everything was up to the covid, just dashingly “swept under the carpet”.

[Ingvar 72]

Even if the Power of Siberia will operate according to the calculated parameters (which is not present in spite of your unsubstantiated statements), there is no alternative to redirecting the volumes of gas that the EU currently consumes. The Asian market does not need so much gas a priori.

It's not that simple. The EU has alternative suppliers who are ready to multiply the export of hydrocarbons right tomorrow - Azerbaijan, the Arabian monarchies, there are legends about Iran, which has almost been freed from fuel sanctions, American LNG, again ... the most popular. That is, Europe will not freeze, and there will be plenty of chemicals to use. But Russia, having lost its largest sales market, having lost all its currency and its main source of income, risks sliding down to the level of the DPRK. Do you want that?

[hohohol]

And how much is American LNG in the bazaar?

[hhhhhhh]

We want this oil and gas to be processed ONLY in Russia.

[Victor Tsenin]

The fact that the Russian Federation has alternative sales markets is irrelevant? That it is not easy to change important import / export structures? It will affect everyone. But, I suppose, no one will persuade the lackeys. To harm the enemy, I will frostbitten my ears.
Those sources of alternative energy are deeply subsidized and will remain the same, the energies of the future are nuclear / thermonuclear, this is understandable to any person with a technical turn of mind.

These alternative markets will not even gain even half of Europe in total. You should not rely on them.

South Korea will not buy our gas for political reasons, and it alone will not be able to give the same amount of dough. And China isn't such a friend, wake up. He has obligatory political conditions in every, I repeat, every foreign contract. In our situation, realizing his indispensability, he will be especially arrogant. There will be an unfavorable price, and again political concessions, it may even come to the transfer of land. And most importantly, what I'm trying to convey is that the yuan bondage is no better than the dollar bond.

[Victor Tsenin]

I finished reading. Do you know many Chinese people? And I didn't focus on the PRC, right? So I will say, if you are wise, you can and should deal with an Asian. China, South Korea and India are fully negotiable with a proper negotiator.
And attention to the number of population and prospects, the APR, as I wrote earlier, is the future and it is there that the deserved place of the Russian Federation.

[Basarev]

I do not want to strengthen India and especially China at the expense of Russian resources, looking like a wolf at our priceless lands. And besides the economy, politics also interferes here, already from our side. To transfer all efforts to the APR, to gain a foothold there, means to recognize Russia as an Asian country, a land of poverty, backwardness, lawlessness and barbarism. And I cannot agree to this, especially considering that the Russians are a European people and Russia is a European country.

[Victor Tsenin]

Which country doesn't want to grab more? And those brought by you wish and you would wish me too, but making money at the expense of these countries we will become stronger and desires will remain wishes. I am a practitioner, which is what I wish for you)

If you want, you can also state. get support

I'm afraid that at this stage the problems will begin - such an event cannot be arranged without state support, and with it ... well, most likely, there will be nothing superfluous to say there (to put it mildly).

Everything will turn into a bunch of lackeys to offer thanks to those same sons and nieces, so that they would be empty.

But it's a good idea. I really like it)

China in 2020 took investments in the Russian economy. Direct investment from China fell 52% to $ 1,83 billion in the third quarter of last year, according to the central bank. Direct investment in the capital of Russian companies dropped to $ 480 million. Thus, China accounts for only 0,4% of direct investment in Russia. This is nine times less than the volume of German investments in the Russian economy.
To keep China close to itself, the price of Russian gas for China dropped to an all-time low - $ 118,5 per thousand cubic meters. This conclusion was reached in "Interfax", having studied the data of Chinese customs statistics for January 2021. Blue fuel has dropped in price for China by 5,9% compared to the fourth quarter of 2020 and 35% since last spring. In money it is $ 63,5.
From this, we can conclude that at the height of the pandemic in the spring of 2020, Russian gas for the Celestial Empire cost $ 182 per thousand cubic meters. Nothing prevented Turkmenistan from selling gas to the Chinese for $ 187 in January this year. Even for Belarus, the price was $ 128,5 per thousand cubic meters.

"The leadership of the Ministry of Finance of the Russian Federation at the end of February announced that 15% of the liquid part of the National Wealth Fund was converted into 110,5 billion yuan by reducing the share of the dollar and the euro (up to 35% for each currency). The Ministry of Finance allocated $ 17 billion for this transaction. but as soon as the yuan were bought, China dropped the yuan.
As early as February, the investment in the foreign exchange portion of the NWF was unprofitable. The liquid part of the fund - that is, the money that has not yet been spent placed on foreign currency accounts with the Central Bank - brought "a negative return of minus $ 50 million," or 3,7 billion rubles, reported the Ministry of Finance.

At the end of March, the loss from exchange rate differences amounted to another $ 300 million, according to calculations by finanz.

[Ingvar 72]

The above opponent also pointed out to you the groundlessness of your arguments. China already today does not choose the amount of gas specified in the contract. This is taking into account the fact that the Power of Siberia will pay off in 30 years only if the contractual volume of gas is pumped.
And the answer is "obvious" only when it is visible to his eyes. You are only talking about the intended directions.

[Victor Tsenin]

He does not choose, not so long ago there was a scandal that we cannot provide the declared. https://www.chita.ru/blogs/zatirko/146763/

As for the funds, I judge by statistics, they exist and they are very good.

And we will sell gas to other countries, and we ourselves need to be supplied with gas.

Where will you supply it in the same volumes?
I agree about my gasification, but it’s a shame that they remembered about it when demand and prices fell on foreign markets.

[Roma 1977]

For example, two plants for processing gas into methyl are currently under construction in the Russian Federation. And the demand for methyl is growing in the world. And this is a product with high added value. Moreover, the decision to build these plants was made in light of the possible expansion of sanctions against Russia on oil and gas issues.

[Ingvar 72]

This is good, of course, but the industry needs to be developed as a whole, and not just one that ensures the export of resources.
It is perplexing that the construction of these factories has been puzzled only now.
Lack of strategic planning on the face.

[Roma 1977]

Not really. Until 2008, full integration of Russia into the world economy was assumed. And now a course of confrontation has been taken. Of course, now we understand, in hindsight, that the old course was erroneous, but the "elites" really wanted to become "their own among their own" in the West. Yes, they still want to, they can easily sell us all, as in 1991, if only there is a clever manipulator in the West, which is not a fact.

Russia has a strategy for the development of hydrogen production until 2035 - up to 4 million tons per year, and the use of this fuel for export in the form of mixing with natural gas becomes more energy-intensive and environmentally friendly.

Otherwise you declare so easily that

But if we simply take national analysis of all the "property of partners" from the West for such steps and let all their "patent rights" go through the beard, then it will hit them much more strongly ...
It has long been clear where all their "standard of living" came from in 90-2010. They ate in three throats from the corpse of the USSR and CMEA.
