Kiev was deprived of two levers of pressure on Moscow

9 2021 June 20

On Monday, June 7, a telephone conversation between Vladimir Zelensky and Joseph Biden took place. The negotiations did not become a breakthrough for Kiev - moreover, the text of the statement based on the results of the discussion between the two leaders did not reflect its essence and misled the citizens of Ukraine.

The report of the press service of the Ukrainian president said that Washington allegedly fully supported Kiev's desire to become part of the North Atlantic Alliance and is ready to provide the Ukrainian authorities with an action plan for membership in the Western bloc. Meanwhile, the United States did not give Ukraine any specific assurances in this regard.

Zelenskiy's office would not have been so if it hadn't lied about a phone call with Biden

- noted in his blog political analyst Vladimir Kornilov.

In addition, the American side ignored the calls of the Ukrainians to put pressure on Russia in order to prevent the completion of the construction of Nord Stream 2, which became another diplomatic fiasco of the Nezalezhnaya rulers. Earlier, the United States Secretary of State Anthony Blinken pointed out the inevitability of the imminent launch of a new gas pipeline along the bottom of the Baltic and called on Germany to help preserve Ukrainian transit.

Thus, Ukraine lost two potential levers of pressure on the Kremlin at once.

  I would not jump to conclusions. Remember the "Bulgarian Stream"? First they built it (having invested billions at the expense of Russian taxpayers), and then they had to "diversify". It is not enough to build a pipe, it needs to be serviced. And these are specific legal entities against which you can impose sanctions and thereby devalue Russian investments.

    There has never been such a flow.
    There was South Stream, which Bulgaria refused.
    There is "Balkan Stream", "Turkish Stream", projects have been implemented and are working ..

      Exactly - it was, not is. And there are expenses for its construction, covered by taxes of citizens of the Russian Federation to the detriment of construction ... even if a new parking lot in your yard. Or to the detriment of the quality of the asphalt on the road to your cottage. The reasons for raising pension age are multi-component and are due not only to agreements with the IMF, but also to the miscalculations of the federal government.

        Do not admit it, you need to know if you write on this topic.
        Gazprom has been pinned down by this antitrust investigation and would have paid more to Europe than the loss of a construction failure.
        What is the damage to taxpayers?
        PJSC Gazprom is a public joint stock company, is it supported or financed from the budget?
        If there were losses - write what and how much?
        Whose wise decision? - probably the board of directors of "Gazprom"!

        Despite assurances from politicians that Moscow has no claims against Sofia in connection with the suspension of the South Stream project, the Bulgarian state-owned company still owes Gazprom almost 100 million euros - and the Russian company expects that this money will be returned.

        The development of a feasibility study for the gas pipeline project was completed in early October 2011.
        Gazprom's partners in the construction of onshore sections were Austria, Bulgaria, Hungary, Greece, Serbia, Slovenia, Croatia and Macedonia, with which intergovernmental agreements on participation in the project and documents on the creation of joint ventures (JV) were signed in different years. In these joint ventures, Russia and each of the countries had equal shares (with the exception of Serbia, in the joint venture with which Gazprom owned 51% of the shares).

        I will clarify, 50, 23%. !!!
        The owners of the Gazprom concern:
        
        Russian Federation represented by the Federal Agency for State Property Management: 38,37%;
        JSC Rosneftegaz: 10,97%;
        OJSC Rosgazifikatsiya: 0,89%;
        
        State Duma deputies adopted in the first reading a draft law on tax benefits for Rosneft and Gazprom Neft,
        
        Don't be taken out of context. Even from your link.
        Tax incentives provide for exemption from oil export duties, produced at fields in new regions of oil production at the initial stage of development.

        Do you even read your links yourself?
        In the materials of "Gazprom" it is reported that the company Gazprom EP International BV provided the Bulgarian Energy Holding (BEH) with a long-term credit line for 97,7 million euros.
        Are you returning the loan to the bank? And than Gazprom is worse.

        So what? All the developments were useful for the "Balkan Stream", no one changed the routing and projects in Bulgaria, Serbia. We docked with the Serbs, the project is working, further according to the plan.

        This is almost 9 billion rubles. More than they found in Colonel Zakharchenko's and is comparable to the annual government spending on providing housing for orphans.
        
        With this loan, he rents an office, buys a Cherokee jeep and eight boxes of Smirnovskaya. When "Smirnovskaya" ends, it turns out that the jeep is broken, the office is vomited, and the loan must be repaid

        I didn't notice it right away, I'm sorry. So much the worse for your argumentation - the Russian state has every opportunity to block this or that decision of the board of directors. But the decision, which entailed € 100 million in losses (only officially recognized), was not blocked. Lousy risk management - if Miller (and not only) had to go to study, but suddenly they would not return after leaving

Their lever is leaking. Have you tried to repair?

In the Ivano-Frankivsk region of Ukraine, at the Uhersko-Ivano-Frankovsk-Chernivtsi section near the village of Kuzlov, a high-pressure gas pipe with a diameter of 500 mm exploded - a branch from the Urengoy-Pomary-Uzhgorod gas pipeline.

    Will not work. The gas pipeline to the Orenburg region is not applicable as a lever. Are they really trying to put pressure on Ukraine? But the technical condition of the pipe of "crushers" matters.

    4 years have passed, has someone tried to repair it, or do you hope to grow itself? You will not be able to press through it, make an effort and crumble.
    By the way, it looks like today is the day of peremog, here the European Court removed the unfrozen assets of the "bloody dictator" Yanukovych. It seems that only the horses consider him to be such. It is not even an hour, and they will force you to return the golden loaf.
