Smartly against the Angels. Bulgarian Prime Minister came up with a "new" formula for a gas pipeline from Russia bypassing Ukraine

101
A few days ago materials appeared in the Bulgarian newspapers stating that Bulgarian Prime Minister Boyko Borisov announced his readiness to resume discussions on the construction of a gas pipeline with the Russian Federation. It should be recalled that Bulgaria initially concluded an agreement with Russia regarding the construction of the South Stream gas pipeline under the Black Sea, and then, under pressure from Brussels and Washington, decided to withdraw from the agreement, announcing anti-Russian sanctions and that, like, would not be needed. As a result, the pipes, which have already been delivered to Varna and Burgas, have remained to lie on storage sites, for which Russia, by the way, still pays rent to the Bulgarians.

The materials in the Bulgarian newspapers made a lot of noise, especially in Bulgaria itself and in the camp of the “elder brothers” in the European Union. Shortly after the publication of Bulgarian journalists, who cited Boyko Borisov, the situation was presented in the Russian Ministry of Energy. The comment was reduced to the fact that there was no talk about any process of resuming negotiations on the South Stream with Bulgaria, and that the project, at least in the coming years, would not be reanimated. It would seem that there is nothing to discuss, because the Bulgarian newspapers issued a "duck".

However, on the eve of the news agency tapes came a message, somewhat clarifying the words expressed by the Bulgarian Prime Minister. The reports allege that Borisov did not mean the resumption of negotiations on the South Stream. Borisov decided to take a different path, declaring the possibility of negotiations on the implementation of a “new project”, under which Russian gas will flow into Bulgaria bypassing Ukrainian territory.

It should be noted here that Bulgaria is currently the only state in the European Union, which is 100% dependent on the Ukrainian transit of Russian gas to Europe. In other words, any “gas” bashing of Kiev, including the removal of gas from the pipe through which this same gas is pumped from Russia to Europe, primarily hit Bulgaria, since there is simply no “gas” alternative to this state. Here it is worth once again wondering how firmly “official” Brussels is holding tightly to official Sophia for the soft spot that Sophia spat on her own strategic interests.

Apparently, such a problem scratched the soul and the Bulgarian prime minister, who began to more closely monitor the weather forecasts. And these forecasts of the main Bulgarian democrat were clearly not pleased. So, forecasters for the next week predict a serious minus for Sofia. If daytime temperatures are within -4-6 Celsius, then at night the air temperature in the Bulgarian capital will drop to 13 frost.

Smartly against the Angels. Bulgarian Prime Minister came up with a "new" formula for a gas pipeline from Russia bypassing Ukraine


Under such weather conditions, the Bulgarian government will obviously need larger amounts of energy resources for heat supply than previously thought. And where are these resources to take? Option one is to purchase from Russia. But the “super-reliable” partner in the person of the Ukrainian state stands in the way, and is itself experiencing obvious problems with energy carriers, trying to break the comedy with the refusal to buy Russian gas at a price of 212 dollars per thousand cubic meters.

In such a situation, the Bulgarian prime minister is obviously trying to solve the most complicated equation, in which a variety of parameters must be taken into account: from the still-born South Stream and pressure from the Brussels "brothers" to indignation of ordinary Bulgarians who want to live in heat, and it doesn't matter where the government comes from countries are going to take this heat. Being between two fires, Boyko Borisov is trying to invent something that, in his opinion, should help him find a way out of the situation, while retaining what is called a political person.

Information Agency France-Presse quotes the words of the Prime Minister of Bulgaria to the ministers:

We say: "South Stream" stayed in stories. Europe has closed borders. We need different sources.


According to Borisov, the Balkansky terminal could receive not only Russian gas, but also gas from Azerbaijan, as well as liquefied gas from the territory of Greece and Romania.

Today on the agenda - gas distribution "Balkan Center". Russia can agree to build an underwater branch of the pipeline (along the bottom of the Black Sea - author's note) with two pipes with an annual capacity of 10 billion cubic meters. m each. And these pipes will fill our gas terminal with the further transportation of fuel through a new gas pipeline to Europe.




From such statements by the Bulgarian prime minister, it becomes clear that he, trying not to incur the punishment of the European Union and at the same time please the citizens of Bulgaria itself, is simply trying to "rename" the project. Like, if South Stream is impossible, then we’ll come up with a different name, plus slightly “correct” the likely logistics. As a result, the gas will go, as it were, not only from Russia, but also from other countries (even if the Russian volumes will be the most ambitious), and in fact this option may well be arranged by Brussels, which in turn is under pressure from Washington.

In general, the Bulgarian authorities are spinning, as they say, in a frying pan, inventing new formulas so as not to stay, naked and unheated in addition, I'm sorry, backwards ... And after all, the Bulgarian authorities do not want to spin, by definition. After all, if the same Borisov doesn’t help up, then Frau Merkel, publicly supporting the “sizzling” anti-Russian sanctions, will sluggishly push the “Nord Stream-2”, and, what is called, hello, Bulgaria ... Not to mention “hello, Ukraine "...

What will remain the aforementioned Ukraine in the case of the implementation of the new "streams"? It will remain either to be content with a gas reverse from Slovakia, until the Slovaks decide that it is time for them to really make money on the anti-Russian “bykovanie” of Kiev, or to build a mournful physiognomy and still really negotiate with Moscow. After all, the European "partners" of Ukraine, as practice shows with the same "little brothers" from Bulgaria, certainly think about the interests of Ukraine at the very least. Its own shirt, it will be closer to the body ...

    It is possible to turn the rivers back, what can we say about gas projects. Here you just need to think over the payment of costs and risks, gentlemen-Europeans and "forward". Since "woke up", then the money is not to be sniffed.
    One of the great Chinese fantasies is to "create" an artificial island, closer to Europe, on which to install a gas hub to "Europe". Whoever pays from the Black Sea countries has a valve in his hands.

No matter how crazy the idea is, to fill several islands between Sakhalin and the coast of Primorye, from Sakhalin to Iturup and make the Sea of ​​Okhotsk the inland sea of ​​Russia, fill a couple of islands from the Black Sea in Crimea to Romanian sea borders and acquire another third of the Black Sea, which is cooler than digging the Black Sea. The countries spent billions to conquer foreign territories, and here are millions of expenses, but for the whole future history, an increase in water territories. Only around Olenegorsk there are mountains of empty rock, which would be enough for a dozen islands at depths up to 100 meters. Why can't the same be poured in the seas? Here, after all, it’s enough that it rises above the water by 2 meters.

        Actually this idea is not new. The Chinese are washing islands. True, everyone really does not like it. We also had a conflict with Ukraine, when in the Kerch Strait they wanted to extend the spit in shallow water.
        Between Sakhalin and Primorye it is impossible to fall asleep. I read somewhere that then the climate will change, the migration of marine animals and fish. And north of the dam there will be continuous ice fields, and the absence of a current will create the mustiness of the bays.

    In the present reality and taking into account the sanctions, Gazprom will not pull the construction of another gas pipeline - and not even a reliable one - because Brussels easily blocks the project again at any stage - it’s better to focus and push Nord Stream-2 completely, which is quite realistic!

      In the present reality, these two streams (North and South) are not physically connected. From the presence of the Northern Stream of Bulgaria, in principle, neither warmer nor colder - it is just ONLY for Germany and its neighboring countries with EXISTING gas pipelines in Europe itself.

      The problem is not in Gazprom, but only in the European decision / permit for the construction of new pipelines in Europe itself, and not in the seas or on the shores of Russia. And it is clear that for the construction within the European lands will need intra-European money, which simply does not exist. Sanctions are not the reason, in fact, but the result of a lack of funding opportunities.

    Recently, materials appeared in Bulgarian newspapers stating that Bulgarian Prime Minister Boyko Borisov announced his readiness to resume discussion on the construction of a gas pipeline with the Russian Federation.

    Boyko Borisov forgot to add- Is Russia ready to talk to him? And will she want to talk?
    Well, about the outskirts of the "great" transit:
    in the West, Kiev was presented with a “bonded” demand in exchange for material support. This became known from a statement by Dmitry Marunich, co-chair of the Energy Strategy Fund, at a press conference in Kiev. According to him, NAK Naftogaz Ukrainy is no longer an independent organization and cannot buy cheaper gas.

    Marunich explained that Naftogaz does not have the ability to purchase fuel of its choice. The reason lies in the credit support of the West. Ukraine received a loan from the EBRD, the second tranche is promised from the International Finance Corporation. The total amount of cash assistance is about five hundred million dollars. At the same time, a condition was set in Europe: gas can be purchased only by reverse.

    “Therefore, even if another supplier (Gazprom or someone else) offered gas cheaper, then it would be simply impossible or nothing to buy,” Marunich explained.

    Well, what to add? Glory to the country 404 !!!!!

    To those commentators who, for the Bulgarians to build a pipe to Bulgaria at their own expense, is it really possible to get so frustrated and reveal your cards? In this way, you show that you don’t have money for the pipe and drive yourself into a corner! On the contrary, we need to fill the price ourselves - they say that we are pipe to Germany and Turkey (see Novak’s statement about the readiness to build a Turkish pipe http://www.vz.ru/economy/2016/1/14/788685.html) we can, and to China, and even offer a pipe to the Balts, Poles, Romanians, Indians ..... Arrange an auction! And the happy owner of the pipe will be the one who fully and unconditionally accepts all our conditions smile And if not, then there’s nothing to squander the people's wealth — you need to gasify your regions!

      There is some truth in your observation. On the other hand, one cannot draw conclusions on the buzz comments of sofa specialists who write on the forums. Most of them have no idea about the issues under which they write. In addition, a lot of trolltin works on the forums. I think most of these comments can be included in the collection "Forum morons" laughing

      good So I came to the same conclusion - with the Turks and Germans they do not allow themselves to behave like they do with the Bulgarians.

    Bulgaria once showing what a "reliable" partner it is, left a place for itself somewhere at the end of the line, not understanding what it threatens. Russia is not a dog that can be driven away, but can be admitted. Now, until the Bulgarians prove with time their corrected mistakes, they will not only elbows.

    It will remain either to be content with a gas reverse from Slovakia until the Slovaks decide.
    Well already got with a gas reverse!
    I have already written many times that it is technologically so difficult that there is no "reverse" in nature!
    1. Reduce the pressure in the pipe to zero.
    2. Create back pressure and fill the line with gas (but for this in Slovakia there should be storage facilities and powerful compressor stations working in the direction of Slovakia-Russia - where is all this?)
    3. Well, let's say they pumped gas upside down.
    4. Again, the pressure in the pipe to zero and the reverse gradual increase in pressure in the other direction.
    There is no reverse! Ukrainians simply dig gas immediately, and the undelivered amount is credited to the reverse.

    On the one hand, it seems that we can speculate that Russia is a great country and considers itself offended by the refusal of small Bulgaria from the South Stream project.
    But Bulgaria is really a small, poor country which is now very dependent on Brussels, on the entire European Union.
    So is big Russia standing in a pose in front of a small, dependent Bulgaria? All the more so if this "pose" is not beneficial for Russia itself. It is not yet clear with the Turkish and Nord Streams. Will their construction begin?
    So why not renew the old South Stream project? Pride does not allow?
    But on the other hand, this pride allows you to leave hundreds of millions of pipes in Varna and Burgas and millions of expenses for preparing for their laying.

      Alyosha stood and saw everything. How they betrayed Russia. HE witness. They also wanted to demolish, probably, so that conscience would not torment. Hundreds of thousands of lives for the liberation of Bulgaria from the Turkish yoke, and so what? Overboard them to feed sharks. They betrayed and sold everything they had. Let them sit and squat and do Ku before their masters.

        "Alyosha stood and saw everything. How Russia was betrayed. He is a witness. They also wanted to demolish, probably, so that conscience would not torment. Hundreds of thousands of lives for the liberation of this Bulgaria from the Turkish yoke, and what? Overboard them, to feed the sharks. They betrayed and sold everything they had. Let them sit and squat and do Qu before their masters. "
        Complete nonsense! Psychiatry! 1.Alyosha, as stood and stands. And on the ego pedestal there is always fresh flowery. Every year, the entrant go to the square in front of him and hold ceremonies. The authorities wanted to move him, but the Bulgarian people did not allow it. True, there were reasons for moving the monument for purely technical reasons. The soil under the foundation is weak and deformations are created that threaten the integrity of the entire monument. The previous year was overhauled and so far the problem has been resolved. 2.Russia liberated Bulgaria in 1877. In just 4 months, the companion returned 3 / 4 to the newly liberated territory, together with the entire Bulgarian population there, back under Ottoman slavery! For all subsequent attempts the Bulgarians will be freed, Russia interfered. For this, we and the Russians were in the opposite trenches! 3.The theme of "the betrayal of the Bulgarians" is a favorite among all the ovs' troll. It is readily accepted by many Russians who do not know history. And for some reason everyone forgets about their traitors, who are not equal in the world! Gorby ... Yeltsin ... The Russians are somehow uncomfortable ... Recognize who betrayed whom in reality and where it all came from!

    Bulgarians do not fail for the first time! Yes, and they wave their heads not like everyone else. When they say no, they shout YES, when yes they shout NO. Now, go take them now to understand what they really mean.

    "Brothers", you know ... When it is profitable for them to be "brothers". And as we have problems, for some reason they immediately cease to be "brothers". They even agree to sacrifice their own benefit in order to please the "overseers" from across the ocean.

    "But Bulgaria is really a small, poor country that is now very dependent on Brussels, on the entire European Union."
    Bulgaria itself chose which country to be. Let's remember the anti-Russian demonstrations during the "liberation". Let's remember the enthusiasm for joining the European Union and NATO.
    How resourceful the Russian people! We were ashamed, cursed, destroyed by the monuments of our soldiers who conquered Europe from the Nazis at the cost of their lives.
    And now let's pity them, small and unreasonable, each time ready to betray and spit in the soul.

    take the money for the work done and the pipes. then let them decide how they will continue to live. with the European Commissioners and NATO or by themselves. there was a time when they drove a lot of loot into the "brothers", as well as into Cuba, and other "brothers. b factories and others used to live normally, but only the appendages of the EU.

    Abstracting from emotions, Bulgaria (including the EU as well) and Russia benefit from the pipe to Varna. The second pipe to Germany contradicts the EU’s desire to diversify suppliers, routes and recipients of gas, so there negotiations can drag on for a long time. There are no such contradictions with the Bulgarian pipe. In addition, Russia should have strengthened itself in southern Europe in advance, before the future entry of new gas suppliers to the European market from the southeast, otherwise it would lose part of the market. The Turkish pipe is irrelevant for many reasons, although it was also a year ago - there were too many contradictions and risks.

    So I sincerely hope that the parties will agree on the Bulgarian pipe smile
