Only on one condition: Russia refused to sign a gas contract with Ukraine

November 6, 2019 25

The management of the Ukrainian company Naftogaz was deeply mistaken in deciding that it had found a dimensionless feeding trough in the form of the Russian Gazprom, which, at the first request of Kiev, would pay billions of dollars.

The head of Naftogaz Andrey Kobolev did not have time to post his Facebook fantasy regarding the fact that Gazprom owes Ukraine $ 22 billion, as the Russian company said that signing a new contract for the transit of Russian gas is possible only in the event of mutual cancellation of claims.

The press service of Gazprom noted that this issue was discussed by the head of the company Alexey Miller with the German government representative for gas transit through Ukraine Georg Graf Waldersee and is a fundamentally important issue that needs to be resolved before the conclusion of a new transit agreement.

In particular, the message said that the waiver of mutual claims concerns not only cases pending in international arbitration, but also the decision of the Antimonopoly Committee of Ukraine to impose a fine on Gazprom of seven billion dollars, which Kobolev mentioned in his entry .

Thus, Gazprom outlined its negotiating position, which is unlikely to change. And about how justified were the ambitions of the leadership of the Ukrainian Naftogaz, we will find out in the near future.

  Tomorrow the EU will rewrite its energy packages once again and the Stockholm Arbitration Court will decide that 2 * 2 = 5 ... also run to rewrite textbooks? For me, it’s easier to let Europe feel the difference in price between Gazprom and US LNG. Everything is relative. It is necessary to intensify the processing of its gas, develop the chemical industry, otherwise the gasification problem was shoved onto the population itself and we are happy to pump the national treasure over the hill.

    Energy packages can be rewritten in both directions, when they need, the thought begins to work in the right direction.

    The arbitration in Stockholm is indeed very strange, but maybe it dawned on them that they had gotten into the wrong track. Perhaps that is why the appeal decision on the Ukrainian lawsuit has not yet been voiced.
    
    For me, it’s easier to let Europe feel the difference in price between Gazprom and US LNG. Everything is relative.
    
    Do you propose to stop gas supplies? Just think, we won’t get some billions of dollars. Let the Americans earn while we just pay the penalties on contractual obligations and get a reputation as an unscrupulous supplier. Well, then back to the market there will be a problem.

        I can not judge the validity of tariffs, the topic is complex. And as for the connection itself .. would you like for free? Excuse me, are you a war veteran or a mother of many children? I still remember how they dug a trench and pulled a gas pipe to our house, and it was not free. And it was during the USSR.

        But the question is not free! The question is the adequacy of prices! And this is not a price, but a robbery! Let's add a quarterly increase in prices for repair work (for replacing gas appliance spare parts) and replacement of hot gas - they are growing by leaps and bounds (replacing the boiler - 3000 r. (And this is only for connecting the hose to the boiler and starting it ... everything else the subscriber MUST do it yourself!))! Well, to the heap - an increase in gas prices every six months. I’m just wondering - with gas abroad, gas prices throughout the year are constant, but inflation is pouring into our ears! But if I am not mistaken, then by raising energy prices, prices will rise for everything else ?! In my unenlightened view, our native state allows Gazprom owners to cash in on the population (since there are losses of excess profits due to inflation - do they need to somehow compensate for their losses? That's what they compensate at our expense!).
        Are you aware that NOW any call from gas workers is PAID (regardless of the reason - they even want to bring an emergency call under this case)? And the fact that the locksmith himself is guilty of a malfunction (this often happens - inexperienced locksmiths are often "mumbled", because too much turnover due to a small salary), nobody cares!
        And yes - the emergency gang in our area was canceled (and this with a population of more than 40000 people) more than 10 years ago. The nearest emergency gang - more than 200 km - is in the trust (the regional center is 100 km, but the trust is already different).

        In the course, I also use gas. We came here, we did boiler maintenance ..... we measured the pressure with a device (for leakage, we used to just spray it with soapy water), removed the boiler lid, vacuumed it, put it back in place - 3 r (something like that, I don’t remember, paper reluctance to climb). And this is approximately payment for gas for 000 months. And what is a hose to screw on and how much does it cost - I also know firsthand. So here I am in complete solidarity with you, but again, the question of tariffs and free connection is a bit different. Naturally, I am in favor of lowering the tariffs, which are, in my opinion, overpriced, but this is more likely to the Antitrust Service. And I don’t remember a free connection.

        Ndaaa ... I thought we had a lot ... And as for wall-mounted boilers, I advise everyone who asks me if possible - they are too capricious and too demanding of water. Floor standing unpretentious, such as "Lemax", "Keber" (with automatic equipment "Arbat" or "Eurosit") and with a circulation pump (installed separately for heating - on the return) - the best option, and put an electric boiler on the water supply. Here, yes - much depends on the hardness of the water ...

Why is there one condition?
There are three of them. In addition to zeroing the penalties, Gazprom has access to direct gas supplies to Ukraine and there is no threshold for pumping volumes. As much as necessary, we pump as much. Well, direct gas supplies are trolling those who supported Ze, counting on kickbacks from reverse circuits. Bummer, sir!

And what will Gazprom do? SP-2 will not be built until the New Year, pumping through SP-1 is limited by the 2nd energy package of the EU, contracts with consumers have been concluded and the allowable volumes to satisfy them through SP-1 are not enough. Option 2: either renegotiate the "transit" one in Naftogaz, or receive multibillion-dollar lawsuits under unfulfilled contracts. So Gazprom is not going anywhere - there is a pipe everywhere (lol).

    Restrictions cannot be lifted - the law must be changed, but it was not adopted in order to cancel it (its meaning is not to allow a single supplier into the pipe). About LNG is true. But the point of the article is that Gazprom can painlessly "bypass" Ukraine. Will not go around. He either drives gas through Ukraine and fulfills contracts, or drives around and violates obligations. But Europe without gas, as you rightly noted, will not remain, making up for the missing in another way (storage, LNG, etc.).

      Previously filmed. but now they can't? They have already filmed "Opal". Will press, remove. They will not leave themselves, loved ones, without gas. Its meaning is to put pressure on Russia, there is simply no other supplier there and cannot be.

      Does Gazprom have difficulties in executing contracts? As long as everything is normal, there will be no problems until spring, then this issue will not be so acute. It is not yet possible to completely do without transit through Ukraine, but Ukraine will not survive without gas supplies. Without a real upgrade, the "reverse" scam will end. We'll have to buy and actually pump gas from Europe, but where will it come from? Gazprom is threatened with fines, and Ukraine is in complete collapse. Who do you think has the best position? In general, they will agree.
      
      But Europe without gas, as you rightly noted, will not remain, filling the missing in another way (storage, LNG, etc.).
      
      Gas itself does not appear in the storages; it is pumped there. If the gas does not flow through the pipeline, there will be nothing to pump. But LNG is still Russian, because it is cheaper and carry it closer. The use of American gas makes German industry uncompetitive.

That's it. And the loot for the maintenance of an empty pipe will be needed the very next day after the end of transit.
If ukrov have difficulty generating hydrogen to fill the pipe, they can turn to their breadwinners because of the lake. Those can help them fill liquefied hydrogen and inject them into ..... (already 9 penalties).

The Stockholm court the other day confirmed the arbitration decision only on a contract for gas supplies to Ukraine, the appeal court on a transit contract (where we were awarded a $ 2,6 billion fine) will only be in November next 2020. So we haven’t lost anything yet and on January 1, 2020 at 10.00. we must safely turn on the gas valve on the border of Russia and Ukraine. Then, not only Ukraine, but all of Europe, having broken down for a week or a month, will definitely come running to bow to Gazprom, and in November, I think, it will cancel the fine.
