US State Department official threatened Russia with sanctions for a possible blockage of gas transit through Ukraine

83

US representatives are once again threatening Russia with sanctions related to the operation of the Nord Stream 2 gas pipeline. It should be reminded that the final completion of the construction of this gas pipeline was announced last week, and the first deliveries of fuel via it from Russia to Germany are expected in October.


Amos Hochstein, representing the US administration, said that it was "important for Washington to support Ukraine." According to the senior adviser to the US State Department for energy security, Washington will impose "serious sanctions against Russia if Moscow blocks the transit of gas to Europe through Ukraine."

Hochstein recalled that such measures in the United States envisaged initially "in the event of bad actions on the part of Russia." The American official added that Berlin was also in favor of this, with which "consultations were held."

Recall that the agreement on the transit of Russian gas through Ukraine expires in three years. It is noteworthy that initially the same USA made every effort to reduce the volume of gas supplies from the Russian Federation to European countries. Washington said that Russian gas was "not environmentally friendly" and offered to purchase its LNG. However, now the United States is suddenly concerned about maintaining the volume of gas supplies from Russia to Europe, but at the same time through the Ukrainian GTS.

Meanwhile, the situation on the gas market is such that prices for "blue fuel" hit records literally every day. On the European exchanges, the price of 1000 cubic meters of natural gas has risen to an incredible $ 707. This is an absolute record. At the same time, economists believe that prices can step over the 800-dollar level, if the winter of 2021-22 in Europe is not relatively mild.

          Yermak: Russia has already begun to use Nord Stream as a weapon against Ukraine.

          “We believe that already today we can say that Russia has begun to use Nord Stream as a weapon against Ukraine. thousand cubic meters to the maximum, reaching 700 euros per megawatt / hour, "Yermak said.

          Kiev demands to secure on paper international guarantees in case of abuse by the Russian Federation of "Nord Stream-2".

          “And during the meeting with Federal Chancellor Merkel, and during President Zelensky’s visit to Washington, we really heard, especially from the American side, about the specific steps that will be taken in the event that the“ hour of H ”comes. But we are still waiting that it will be on paper, "Yermak said.

According to the senior adviser to the US State Department for energy security, Washington will impose "serious sanctions against Russia if Moscow blocks the transit of gas to Europe through Ukraine."

                There is nothing surprising in this, since Since 2020, gas storage facilities in Ukraine have been owned by the United States - moreover, under the patronage of Zelensky himself as the President of Ukraine.

                In other words, Zelensky, under the guise of an alleged military confrontation between Ukraine and Russia, has already sold to Washington important national - GAS - assets of Ukraine - and he probably did it for foreign "kickbacks" into his own pocket!

                That's really about Zelensky, as in the song. sung!
                Here in gold and velvet

                At the court of the lana!

                It is not for nothing that even in Israel they note that Zelensky is finally SOLD OUT Ukraine to other countries! He sells everything out - and the rich will "flee" to the West!

                Urgently - Kiev sold all its gas storages on the sly - news. 19 mar 2020

                  A motivational program for the behavior of citizens in any state of the world is laid down through IDEOLOGY and in practice, no one has canceled it in practice.

                  Ideological education in the Russian Federation has long been "sour". The bourgeois ideology of the American economist M. Friedman, which dominates in the Russian Federation and the world, is no longer called “bourgeois”, but is called abstractly class “market” with elements of the so-called. "Monetarism" (i.e. bourgeois pursuit of financial profits).
                  However, one cannot equate the concept of real capitalism with all its shortcomings with the doctrinaire idea of ​​the American Milton Friedman (set forth in his book "Capitalism and Freedom") in the form of a kind of speculative social project that is being implemented. to build a supposedly ideally fair capitalism on Earth all over the world. Due to what?
                  Due to the alleged existence in the world of some anarchist absolutely "free" from everyone and every world market, which is supposedly absolutely "clean" from profanities and dishonesty both on the part of the participants in the capital market, goods (services) and labor, and from pressure on them a nation state. And at the same time, Friedman naively assumes that all market participants free from the state are initially at all times in their life start supposedly absolutely equal to each other and can always become rich, if they just want it. This is pure utopia and bluff!
                  Behind this attempt by Friedman to whitewash capitalism lies a very definite goal taken by Washington's apologists. Namely.
                  The purpose of this American bluff is to make the sovereign countries "indigenous" for the United States, uncontrollably and duty-free by their governments, mistakenly, free and defenseless from competition, open access for US multinational companies to their domestic markets for the sale of foreign goods and the purchase of "indigenous" wealth by foreigners , enterprises and natural resources.
                  At the same time, the reduction of native state property to the maximum - to "0" - is promoted by the "market people" exclusively as a public good. For the state supposedly does not need to control anything, there is no need to punish anyone, and there is no need to regulate trade and production either. That at the same time all members of society will become such honest and law-abiding entrepreneurs that therefore it will no longer be necessary to protect the population from swindlers, thieves, robbers and murderers. AND therefore, the alleged national state, as an anachronism, will disappear by itself as unnecessary, and there is no need to defend it at all. For the distribution of material goods "from above" at the state level is not required, because everything will be regulated by this "ideal" capitalist market. Well, those who did not fit into the market are already their problems. Let, they say, they survive on their own, as they can. These include, in particular, all the so-called. "superfluous" people: pensioners, disabled people, children, etc. - all those who "did not fit into the market." But they should be "happy" with their freedom from the centuries-old, fattening abstract-bureaucratic state, which has always been dreamed of by the anarchists for centuries.

                  TOTAL. All this Milton Friedman's ideology about the alleged existence of the so-called. "free" and "clean" market is an anarchist propaganda of the American establishment to disintegrate the national security of sovereign states to their complete elimination and subjugation of their resources in favor of US multinational companies.
                  Unfortunately, this ideology is unofficially adopted by the Russian ruling elite as a state ideology. It is implemented in practice by the Government of the Russian Federation, the guarantor of the Constitution of the Russian Federation, in the State Duma and the Federation Council. And HSE is the forge of bourgeois young cadres in this comprador economy and its apologists.

                  It is noteworthy that the indefatigable American-advanced "market man" Kudrin the other day again spoke in favor of another transfer of state property of the Russian Federation to private hands! It is possible that in this case, in particular, Kudrin's speech may touch upon "SP-2".

                    Tatiana. Agree. I was especially jarred by Lavrov's statement that Russia is a strong, sovereign ... country. In a market economy, there are no sovereign countries, because, as one of the commentators aptly put it, there is a MARKET DIRECTOR in whose hands the power. And within the framework of one country in local manifestations there is only the hand of the market, which shamelessly reaches into his pocket. So Lavrov puffs in vain, it doesn't befit him, he's still a smart, experienced person! However, he is not to blame, he did not organize the market economy, but at least he was silent. Want proof? Look for Sberbank in Crimea. But until 2014, he was there. Even a giant like Xiao Mi bends over America. Russia is not a sovereign country and no changes are expected. The presence of a powerful military force, in mathematical terms, is a necessary but deficient condition of sovereignty.

          The Yankes, like the Europeans, do not give anything even for repair and restoration work, and the Svidomo do not really care about this, the main thing is to have time to remove as much cream as possible from the pipe. But sooner or later, the pipe and equipment will rot completely.

            Most likely, the state of this pipe no longer worries anyone. It would be strange to pump gas through unpredictable and aggressive territory with the Nazi Banderites. It's time to stop this, and put an end to this pipe. Even if problems happen to the north stream, it is necessary to prepare and use gas carriers in the Baltic.

        Gazprom now sells 80% of all its gas exactly at spot prices)))
        Putin spoke about this yesterday:
        "And under long-term contracts and according to our pricing principle, Gazprom does not sell at such a price. And those who have agreed to conclude long-term contracts with us in Europe can now only rub their hands and rejoice. Otherwise, they would have to pay $ 650. And" Gazprom "he sells to Germany for $ 220 - in any case, it was quite recently. With the rise in oil prices, this price will rise, but it will be a soft thing. And Gazprom is really interested in this, because it creates a cushion safety and for him. There will be no sharp fall and collapse of prices. That is the whole point. It is beneficial for everyone, "he added.

        "But how, at one time, the European Commission came up with - now please shave... We got the desired result, "Putin summed up.

    Amos Hochstein, representing the US administration, said that it was "important for Washington to support Ukraine."

    I would say right away that it is important for Washington that Russia maintains Ukraine. Hence the "mandatory transit" and sanctions ...

    The hypocrisy and impudence of the United States has no borders, but it is time for them to understand that Russia is doing only what is in its interests and will not support the Bandera regime in Ukraine at its own expense.

    At the same time, no one in the Kremlin or Gazprom is talking about the termination of transit through Ukraine after the completion of the Nord Stream, just now Ukraine will have to abandon blackmailing Russia and offer favorable transit conditions, on Russia's terms.

    Russia should transit gas through Ukraine only under special conditions, the first and unconditional is the observance of the Minsk agreements, the second is the first to finally decide whether Ukraine is at war with Russia, is Russia an axressor, and the third is to answer correctly the question "Whose Crimea?" And sanctions, as history shows, are not effective, especially against self-sufficient states.

    What a smart American official.
    Moscow will not block gas transit through Ukraine.
    It's just that after the launch of the SP-2, transit through Ukraine will become technically impossible due to the deterioration of the Ukrainian gas transportation system, which will be confirmed, for example, by a couple of three emergency situations with a pipe rupture.

    Will the lack of gas pumping be considered a "bad situation", but payment for it - in full compliance with the "pump or pay" contract? If at the same time there is a refusal in the contractual sale of gas to Ukraine (say, there are no free volumes or technical possibilities), then, as for me, Naftogaz and the people of Ukraine will have no time for fun ..

    Amos Hochstein, representing the US administration, said that it was "important for Washington to support Ukraine."
    So and who interferes, we decided to support, support, personally I do not mind.
    Washington will impose "serious sanctions against Russia if Moscow blocks the transit of gas to Europe through Ukraine."
    And we are not going to block transit, if they want to, let them transit from where they want, even if gas from Sri Lanka, Russia is not against it. Ukraine has a pipe, let what it wants from where it wants and transits. On the other hand, they can now not pass a single cubic centimeter of dirty, non-environmentally friendly gas from the aggressor country.

    Interestingly, among the local patriots, someone announced personal US sanctions ???? Well, they stopped buying American goods in principle, or goods with a trace of the United States and Geyropa (such as production belongs to shareholders "because of ot-tudov")))) Have they switched to purely Russian goods or, in extreme cases, "so-called" "allies"? ?? Try it. It's not difficult - at least stop buying cars and other equipment from America and Europe. It's not on BMW or Volkswagen to stick the sticker "To Berlin"))) soldier

      Someone is still raving that there is a purely technology of America and Europe? These are outdated dogmas for at least 10 years. Now at least half of the composition of any equipment is made in China, Taiwan, India, Singapore, Vietnam and others like them. And by buying equipment with a label made in America or Europe, we support the economies of China, Taiwan, India, Singapore, Vietnam and others like them. Even the F-35 flies with Chinese transistors and diodes, what can we say for some kind of consumer goods such as a Mercedes, BMW or Volkswagen.
