Kiev offered additional gas to Europe without asking Moscow about it

6

In the face of a raging energy crisis, Ukraine decided to demonstrate its concern to the Europeans. However, some industry experts suspected Kiev of trying to create conditions under which the illegal selection of gas transported through the Ukrainian GTS could be carried out more invisibly.

On October 22, after the traditional Friday meeting of the National Security and Defense Council of Ukraine, the secretary of this state body, Oleksiy Danilov, said at a briefing that Kiev was offering Europe additional gas volumes. He clarified that, after consulting with the government, GTS Operator of Ukraine LLC and NJSC Naftogaz of Ukraine, it was decided "to determine special conditions for the transportation of additional gas volumes", which should be at the level of "at least 55 billion cubic meters per year" ...



We are talking about gas transit in excess of 40 billion cubic meters of “blue fuel” contracted by PJSC Gazprom per year. Thus, without first asking Moscow's opinion, Kiev wants to increase gas transit through its territory to at least 95 billion cubic meters per year. In this case, the agreed "special conditions" will apply exclusively to additional volumes of energy raw materials.

At the same time, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said that Kiev is offering a 50% discount on the transit of the mentioned additional gas volumes to all interested parties. This suggests that Kiev has already decided on the specified "special conditions".

We would like to see European companies as clients, but these additional opportunities are available for Gazprom as well.

- said Zelensky.

The head of the Ukrainian state is confident that "only quick coordinated measures can stop the crisis." He warned that otherwise, "if this is not done right now, then Europe's losses this winter will be enormous."

We remind you that recently the former Minister of Energy of Ukraine Ivan Plachkov all in detail explained. Given the current level of UGS occupancy, this winter Ukraine will lack about 20 million cubic meters of gas per day, so illegal withdrawal of Russian transit gas by Kiev from the Ukrainian GTS is inevitable. That is why it is important for Kiev to increase transit volumes by “donating” earnings.

    What an interesting miniature from the Zelensky comedian genre. And then he will persuade or blackmail Russia into pumping these volumes. I wonder if the Poles whispered to him or the State Department.

    They need babos to support the National Battalions. And it’s profitable to use gas. But you can't give gas in principle, because the income from it goes to the genocide of your own people. that we subscribe to the content of fascism ???

    Yes, Gazprom is interested. After solving the main issue - the launch of the SP-2, it will be possible to consider the proposal, if it is received. But before that, it is necessary to certify the Ukrainian gas transportation system for the ratio of volumes at the inlet and outlet.

    Germany will not delay too long with the certificate. They will just enlighten everyone around (in the EU) a little about who is now in charge. For Germany, gas without SP2 is enough, they do not have to pay $ 400-700 for gas and rush to SP2, they have SP1. But others in the EU will quickly understand what's what in the new Europe. But Germany will not teach this lesson for too long. It's just that this is the case - by opening SP2 Germany will create a critical situation for the Kiev regime, but what to do, nothing personal. Out of despair, Kiev will start taking away from those 89 million / day of transit of foreign gas. And then there are two options. Those who receive these 89 million a day and who own gas in Ukrainian storage facilities will receive the stolen volumes through JV2. Calling it "reverse" and invoicing Ukraine $ 1500 per 1 ton. kb. Or, if everyone really lacks, there will be a real energy crisis, then these recipients will of course be indignant at the theft of Kiev. But it doesn't matter, Gazprom will react quickly. It will close the transit through the Ukrainian gas transportation system due to the withdrawal of transit gas and let this volume through other routes (instead of 50%, it will have to fill JV1 and JV2 by 100%).
