Russia Cuts Off Ukraine Gas Supply To 6 European Countries






Vladimir Putin ordered the Russian state energy giant Gazprom to cut supplies to and through Ukraine amid accusations, according to The Daily Mail, that its neighbor has been siphoning off and stealing Russian gas. Due to these "transit risks for European consumers in the territory of Ukraine," Gazprom cut gas exports to Europe by 60%, plunging the continent into an energy crisis "within hours." Perhaps explaining the explosion higher in NatGas prices (and oil) today, gas companies in Ukraine confirmed that Russia had cut off supply; and six countries reported a complete shut-off of Russian gas. The EU raged that the sudden cut-off to some of its member countries was "completely unacceptable," but Gazprom CEO Alexey Miller later added that Russia plans to shift all its natural gas flows crossing Ukraine to a route via Turkey; and Russian Energy Minister Alexander Novak stated unequivocally, "the decision has been made."
As Bloomberg reports,

to 92million cubic metres per 24 hours compared to the promised 221million cubic metres without explanation," said Valentin Zemlyansky of the Ukrainian gas company Naftogaz.
"We do not understand how we will deliver gas to Europe. This means that in a few hours problems with supplies to Europe will begin."

I wonder what lie will be used to cover another few billion going to Russia while she is under full sanctions by those very same nations.

This is a preemptive strike on mobilizing NATO forces in eastern Europe. Punish Europe now. Why wait for spring?

Sent all that money over and retrieve it once you win the war. Yeah, I can see Russia falling for that. It is okay to picket banks, just not the one that holds your mortgage.

Gazprom CEO Alexey Miller said on Wednesday. The Gazprom head made this statement in response to a question about the fate of Russia’s South Stream gas pipeline project.
“The project is closed. The Turkish Stream is the sole route, which can deliver 63 billion cubic meters of Russian natural gas transited across Ukraine so far. There are no other options,” Miller said.
Gazprom has notified its European partners about its Turkish Stream gas pipe plans and now their task is to create the necessary gas transport infrastructure from the border of Turkey and Greece, the Gazprom head said.
“They have a maximum of several years for this. This is a very tight schedule. To comply with it, work for the construction of new trunk gas pipelines should be started in EU countries right now. Otherwise, these gas volumes may be redirected to other markets,” the Gazprom head said.Gazprom to Use Turkish Pipeline Route to EU, to Substitute Europe-bound Gas Pipeline through Ukraine | Global Research

Once Iran is connected wouldn't Russian NG then go almost exclusively to the East meaning Europe would be under Iran's energy policy so sanctions against them would yield negative results, just like it has with Russia. The way to win is sit back and do nothing but send out the overdue notices.

Canada has lots of NG. Too bad the greenies don't want us to sell it. At any price.
And the leftards think that Christie Clark is nuts to promote NG in BC. The rest of us would be quite happy to trade dinosaur f arts for euros.

The US imports coal from Argentina just so it can appear that the coal industry in that country justifies the cost to the taxpayers to build and maintain such plants. That is money out of the pockets of the coal-mines who draw wages in the US coal industry. Check out the lame excuse, it burns cleaner. Cleaner is changed by changing the damper or the bellows flow-rate.

Umm not really. Different coals burn cleaner than others. Germany is now burning brown coal, which is about the dirtyist there is but they have lots of it. Course European greens understand economics a whole lot better than NA ones.

 

[lone wolf]

Is that brown coal as in lignite?
