The German company accused Gazprom of emptying the accounts of joint ventures

9

Mario Mehren, CEO of the German oil and gas company Wintershall Dea, said that Gazprom had withdrawn almost 2 billion euros in cash from their joint ventures. According to him, the joint accounts are simply "devastated", according to the Financial Times.

Wintershall Dea is the largest oil and gas company in Europe, owned by the petrochemical group BASF (67%) and LetterOne (33%). It produces oil and gas in Norway, Germany, and also in Russia together with Gazprom.



So far, Gazprom has not commented on the statement of the head of the company's long-term partner, but last week Wintershall Dea announced its intention to leave Russia.

Withdrawals from joint accounts may be due to a change policy Russian authorities to companies from unfriendly countries that introduced a ceiling on prices for gas produced in the Russian Federation. At the same time, Mario Mehren defended himself from criticism for almost the entire year 2022 due to the decision to continue working in Russia and announced his departure only in mid-January 2023.

Ранее сообщалось that economic the situation in Western Europe and North America leaves much to be desired. It would not be a big exaggeration to say that the EU is experiencing the worst economic period since the global financial crisis. Naturally, the main reason for all this is the sanctions imposed against Russia. Directly or indirectly, they hit the Western countries themselves the hardest.

        according to the logic of the Germans, it was necessary to add another 2 billion

      It's unclear.
      It's not easy to withdraw money. and In which banks, from which accounts, why in cash?

      So., rather ... how much they gave to the German "partners" (well, you understand, like the ex-Chancellor of the Federal Republic of Germany and the husband of someone's daughter there ...)

      And then someone from the Russian elite replenished his ... palace with cash ...
      because 2 billion in CASH obviously won’t fit into the wallet ....

      Yandex search, and ... at least 5 tons of cash at 500 .... but rather more than 20 tons of banknotes at 100

        Sergey Latyshev (Serge), you will suck thoughts out of your finger for a long timelaughing? Wintershall-Dea, together with Gazprom, has large gas production and gas processing enterprises in Khanty-Mansiysk Autonomous Okrug / YNAO (with the former general director of one of them, Knyazev, Achim-Development, he worked personally, even his mobile phone in his notebook), shares 50% / 50 %, the volumes of gas production and gas treatment are quite serious, they also work for the domestic Russian gas market and, of course, correspondent and settlement accounts in Russian banks. It was in these banks that the money of the Achimov Consortium in rubles was equivalent to 2 billion euros on the balances, Gazprom safely appropriated it to itself, everything is in order and without any consequences, they did it correctly, experts in our industry have been aware of this in general terms since mid-2022 . In general, whining guys and foreign bots, you don’t notice anything else, much more important: Gazprom, in fact, took for free the remaining 50% of the shares of the huge Achimov project and the Norwegian-American-British-Dutch-Japanese-German-French shares in a dozen other energy projects on the territory of the Russian Federation, there in the amount of tens of billions of dollars at least (otherwise it exceeded a hundred billion dollars). In fact, Rosneft and other Russian state corporations and Russian state banks and the Government of Russia do the same with former partners, the total amount of nationalized Western assets on the territory of Russia in September, according to experts, exceeded $ 200 billion, and how many wonderful discoveries are ahead (the total amount of Western production, infrastructure and financial assets on the territory of the Russian Federation, Boston Consulting estimates $ 700 billion, Alternatio generally at a trillion greens), many times more Russian assets in the territory of Western countries. Yes, and Russia has not been paying foreign corporate debt to Western investors since March 2022, and this is almost $ 400 billion for a second, so we threw Europe, the States and Britain like jerks for more than $ 1 trillion of real and not paper-digital resources. At the same time, all that the West could do in response was to say that it froze $300 billion, although in the end they found only $100 billion, which Atlantico wrote about in detail. Well, a couple more yachts and mansions from Russian businessmen in Europe and Britain were squeezed out, and Abgamovich was purged in London for Chelsea, and so on - by the way, and rightly so, this does not affect the Russian State in any way.
