Russia announced the conditions for preserving gas transit through Ukraine

28
On September 19, 2019, at a tripartite consultation (Russia, Ukraine and the European Union) on gas in Brussels, the Russian side said that it was ready to maintain transit through Ukrainian territory, after the expiration of the existing contract, on certain conditions. The fact is that the contract ends on December 31, 2019, and Kiev, due to its specific features, is in no hurry to conclude a new long-term transit contract, so you need to somehow get out of this difficult situation.



That is why Moscow proposes to conclude a contract for a short time, extending the validity of the previous agreement so as not to violate the transit and allow the parties to agree. However, for this, preliminary, Ukraine will need to urgently implement the third energy package of the European Union, i.e. to undertake certain obligations. This was broadcast on Russia 24 by the head of Gazprom Alexei Miller.

In turn, the vice president of the European Commission (EU government) Marosh Shefchovich following the above negotiations said that the extension (extension) of the current contract for transit through the territory of Ukraine is impossible. Therefore, the parties will have to look for another solution.

It should be noted that if Ukraine does include European energy standards in its legislation, i.e. If it acts as a member of the European Energy Community, it will be obliged to conduct auctions to reserve its transit capacities. In this case, it will be possible to dispense with the transit agreement for some time. It will be quite simple for the Russians to redeem the necessary capacities of the gas transmission system (GTS) of Ukraine in order to carry out short-term and medium-term gas supplies.

    - Well, well ... - my "predictions" continue to come true ...
    - Even the cock didn’t crow, and already Gazprom is ready for the next bizarre experiment on itself, the meaning of which is to continue the supply of Russian gas through Ukraine ...
    -What did our "partners" from the European Union come up with in Brussels ..?

    It will be enough for the Russians to simply buy out the necessary capacities of the gas transmission system (GTS) of Ukraine in order to carry out short-term and medium-term gas supplies.

    -Ah, that's how ... -the confused confused and finally confused ...
    -What is that ... now it will be necessary to create some kind of Ukropovskaya "new gas structure", which will be specifically ... as a legal entity responsible for the Ukropovskaya gas pipes ... and ... and ... and .. . and already from this "new structure", supposedly Russia should (as they write) already "buy out the necessary capacities of the gas transmission system (GTS) of Ukraine in order to carry out short-term and medium-term gas supplies" ...

    -That is soooo ... -Besides the fact that Russia must supply gas, it also needs to buy part of the rotten ukropov pipeline for this ... -That ... arrived ...
    -And then, after Russia carries out "short-term and medium-term gas supplies" ... then ...- Russia can again sell this pipeline back to this new Ukropov structure .., is that so. ?????
    -Or Russia, having bought these "necessary capacities of the gas transmission system (GTS) of Ukraine in order to carry out short-term and medium-term gas supplies," then will simply be doomed to conclude a long-term agreement (ten years) on the supply of Russian gas through the territory of Ukraine ( and even to repair the pipeline at its own expense) ... -that's just how it looms ...
    -No, but this is already from the area ...
    - Yes, it's not even just a "next trap" for Gazprom ... - it's just such a divorce ... that there are no words ...
    -Then even the price of the gas itself becomes "not the essence of importance" ... -Although probably also at the price, Gazprom is "bent" as they please these "European partners" ...
    -That ...

      After this, your pearl:

      This is soooo ... -In addition to the fact that Russia must supply gas, it also needs to buy part of the rotten ukropov pipeline for this ... -That ... arrived ...

      I realized that you mastered the materiel unsatisfactorily. The SOE must redeem quotas for pumping gas, and gas pipelines remain the property of Ukraine. As an analogy, we can consider selling quotas for fishing in the economic marine zone. The opportunity to fish is sold, and the sea remains the property of the country that sells these quotas.

        -No, well, I’ve put everything together ...- You must be a schoolboy and outplayed in sea shooting ... if you cannot tell a fishing vessel from a gas pipeline ...
        -And maybe you mixed up the gas theme with the theme of North Korean poachers .. ??? -Not.???
        -You are that, why did they decide to carry Russian gas on carts (well, not on fishing boats) in gas cylinders across Ukraine ??? - So and that ... - local "Makhnovist carts" will not give them a run ... - Makhnovists will intercept and rob our carts ... - demand bribes ...

    Gazprom needs gas transit through Ukraine. He needs to sell gas.
    Europe and Russian gas and its transit through Ukraine to the stars.
    Ukraine does not need Russian gas. But Ukraine does not mind earning money on its transit. Therefore, it will not twist the hands of Gazprom de-detski. And, I think, they will unscrew them. All the aces up her sleeve.

      1) Gazprom can sell gas to Europe not only through Hohland, there are other gas pipelines. In December, the gas pipeline to China is launched ...
      2) Europe gas from Russia is not "up to the star", because. the cheapest of all supplied to Europe
      3) Bulgaria refused to receive gas through Hohland and is building a branch from the Turkish Stream
      4) Even if Denmark does not agree to lay a gas pipeline in its waters, it will be laid bypassing it. The issue price is less than 200 km and a month of construction.
      5) In Russia they foresaw the show-off of Ukrainians and filled all UGS facilities in Europe as much as possible and if there are not enough reserves in UGS facilities, then you can always supplement them with liquefied ones before putting into operation the Northern and Turkish streams ...
      6) So, it will not work to unscrew Russia’s hands, the maximum that Ukrainians can unscrew is their own eggs ...

        I think Ukrainians will unscrew the hands of Gazprom. Everything goes exactly to this. Unfortunately.
        PS. Gazprom’s losses will need to be somehow covered. At the expense of whom? Do you think it will be Puerto Ricans?

          You have simply "killer" arguments. "You don't know", "These are your fantasies." It's almost impossible to argue with such arguments, but let's try ...
          There is also Nord Stream 1 and Yamal Europe, through Poland, they also supply LNG. Yes, this is not enough, but there is a chance to hold out until the completion of Nord Stream 2. For this, the gas storage facilities are trying to fill to the maximum as of July, they were 74,76% filled. Denmark suspended gas production on the shelf due to subsidence of the soil (the sea just became 6 meters deeper),

          https://rns.online/energy/Daniya-budet-pokupat-rossiiskii-gaz-iz-za-priostanovki-dobichi-na-shelfe--2019-09-19/

          and this is 90% of the production. Consequently, it has two options: to buy Russian gas from Germany or dung from Ukraine, there is also a third one, just freeze, but I think they will choose one of the first two. Sorry, I forgot - there is also an American one with "molecules of freedom". Something tells me that Denmark will soon become much more accommodating about the construction of Nord Stream-2.
          I see no reason why the Power of Siberia gas pipeline cannot be commissioned in December.

          http://www.interfax-russia.ru/FarEast/main.asp?id=1059955

          Yes, the price of gas on the spot market falls in the summer, it is sold for 20-30 dollars cheaper than the Russian one, but these are seasonal phenomena. Winter is near, prices are back to normal. So, in general, the average price of Russian gas is cheaper.
          You won’t believe it, but Bulgaria is still building a gas pipeline:

          https://iz.ru/922822/2019-09-18/bolgariia-vmeste-s-rossiei-nachali-stroitelstvo-balkanskogo-potoka

          I believe that part of the transit through Ukraine this year will still be preserved, and they will turn eggs and hands next year. In general, the "Sumerians" will fail.

            And she can buy Norwegian, Azerbaijani, American and even Qatari gas. Light wedge on Soviet and even on Russian gas once converged. Now it does not converge. And that is a big difference.

    I think that all the trump cards at Gazprom. The transit agreement is unlikely to be concluded. The redemption of any quotas is primarily unprofitable for Ukraine. Therefore, Kiev is fighting for transit at the level of 90 billion cubic meters. Absolutely unrealistic figure.
    Gazprom has already provided deliveries to Europe at the level of contractual obligations for the year 2020. It is sometimes necessary to operate with specific numbers.

And if not normal, then you will fulfill all the requirements of the child. So Gazprom, instead of spanking and putting in a corner, they start to persuade, they will also make concessions and continue to pump gas through Ukraine. I propose to open a section of forecasts, so we will see who the sofa expert is and who is not friends with the head!

Iran is in the BLOCKADE, it has been OBLASTED, like a bear in the den of SANCTIONS .-------------- A similar situation is happening with RUSSIA. RUSSIA was also SURROUNDED by SANCTIONS, which means they DEPRIVED OF CAPACITY. RUSSIA, CAN NOT. NOTHING. RUSSIA is losing its sovereignty.

    Author! Miller looks like this:


    And embellish it face the face is stupid. From this he will not become prettier and smarter. All of Miller’s policies in Gazprom are aimed at receiving dollars and euros and using them for highly specialized purposes. The property of the country is enjoyed by all and sundry. Miller’s watches confirm this:

    The estimated cost of $ 112 is only 100 percent of Alexei Miller’s average monthly income.

    And you are talking about some kind of long-term contracts, about some kind of transit ... You will highlight the investment figures for SP-1, SP-2, TP ... Summarize with the amounts of fines imposed by Gazprom on foreign arbitration courts, tell us how a thieving transiter stepped on his throat and draw conclusions about how much more Mr. Miller will resist when European gas recipients put pressure on him? How much he will receive our hard-earned, taken from us in the form of unpaid salaries, pensions and taxes ...
