While accusing the West Russia Using energy as a weapon against European consumers, the Kremlin asserted that the shortage of energy supply was caused by "Sanctions imposed on Russia, which prevent the maintenance of gas infrastructures".
Nord Stream 1
- convey Russian gas Across the bottom of the Baltic Sea to Germany
- It started operation in November 2011
- The length of the tube is more than 1200 km
- Its annual capacity is estimated at 55 billion cubic meters of natural gas
- On July 11 it started "Gazprom" Periodic maintenance operations, resulting in a decrease in Gas supplies to Europe
- Germany sent a gas-pipe turbine to Canada for repair
- "Gazprom" She said that the turbine is responsible for pumping about 40 percent of the gas
- Russia confirmed that "Sanctions prevent it from recovering the turbine"
- Germany I certainly replied that Russia "It’s what’s getting in the way of restoring this masterpiece
What happened since the start of the Ukraine war?
- 22 February .. Berlin announced the suspension of the project "Nord Stream 2" After Moscow recognized two separatist regions in the Ukraine
- 8 March.. America banned Russian oil and gas imports to the United States
- The European Union has said it will cut imports of Russian gas by two-thirds this year
- Britain has confirmed that it will gradually stop its imports of Russian energy by the end of 2022
- 23 March.. Russia announced its refusal to pay gas bills in dollars and euros, and asked companies to open accounts in rubles
- Washington has agreed to supply Europe with 15 billion cubic meters of liquefied natural gas this year
- Russia cut supplies to several European countries, such as Bulgaria, Denmark, Finland, the Netherlands, Poland and Latvia
- 30 May.. European leaders agreed to stop most Russian oil imports by the end of the year, without imposing a gas embargo
- Gas shipments have been suspended for a group "Engy" fully french
- Germany’s import of Russian gas fell from 55 percent to 26 percent of the country’s need
- It is expected that the proportion of Russian gas to Germany will decrease by 10%
Notable losses from both sides:
- Russia loses its energy weapon as a means to protect national interests
- Russia’s loss of a daily financial resource estimated at 130 million dollars per day (about 20 billion dollars within 3 months)
- Billions of dollars in compensation fall to the initiating party in breach of contracts
- Push the Europeans to find "Quick alternatives"such as the trend of coal and the increased reliance on renewable energy and import liquefied gas from other markets
- Paralysis in the German economy, as well as some countries close to Russia, which depend on it in large proportions
- France and Spain look to Africa as an alternative
Alternative markets for Russia
- China especially after pipeline expansion "Siberian power" Increasing gas exports to more than 10 billion cubic meters
- India, the republics of Central Asia, the countries of Southeast Asia, and even in the future, Africa
Europe and"alternative sources"
- Norway is the second largest gas supplier in Europe after Russia
- The Yamal-Europe pipeline that runs through Belarus and Poland to Germany
- Southern Europe can receive Azerbaijani gas via the Trans-Adriatic pipeline to Italy, and the natural gas pipeline via Turkey
- The United States said it could supply 15 billion cubic meters of liquefied natural gas to the European Union this year
- Spanish efforts to revive a project to build a third gas pipeline through the Pyrenees, but France said that new LNG stations, which could be floating, would be a faster and cheaper option than making a new pipeline.
- Other alternative sources such as nuclear energy, renewable energy, hydropower andcoal
United State "Increase the flames of war"
The Russian political analyst, MacLeod Shulman, considered that "There have always been stages of tension between Russia and Europe, and the means of settling differences have also existed, but the intervention of the United States has reduced the imposition of finding solutions to the crisis.".
He continued: "Washington wants to maintain the same style of management of global joints and maintain control over the wheels of global finance, to remain as the only player that moves and runs the global economy.".
He added in a statement to the site "Sky News Arabia": "Western Europe adopted Washington’s vision, which is the idea of reducing dependence on Russian energy resources at the behest of the United States. With the beginning of the crisis, Europe kept the same levels of purchase, but Washington’s pressure made the Europeans look for alternatives, in any form.".
Russia and"muscle review"
For his part, a fellow at the Institute of Economic Affairs in London, Keith Boyfield, said: "The Nordstream pipeline shutdown was entirely political"adding: "It’s part of the finger-biting phase. Putin is flexing his muscles and Germany is the biggest loser, mainly due to its over-reliance on Russian gas. In turn, Russia can sell its gas to Asian markets".
"EU countries need to develop more LNG storage terminals, but this will take at least 18 months to start operating"According to Boyfield.
The man pointed out that "The world is heading for a new order. China is pushing Russia as a military wing to impose a new world order in which the dollar rule ends, and this is the basis of the current international conflict. Europe is aware that it is the loser in this war, as new currencies will float in global markets, including the Chinese yuan, and the Chinese are the biggest winners in this war.".
Boyfield concluded his speech to "Sky News Arabia"by saying that "Western Europe entered into this conflict thinking it would be short, but the conflict continued and had its requirements".
