Ukraine's Gas Transport System operating company says it will temporarily halt deliveries of Russian gas to Europe from a key site in eastern Ukraine from Wednesday
According to Ukrainian data this site transport volume of Russian natural gas through Ukraine said the total amount of about 1/3 Ukraine cut off this gas artery to Europe
Ukraine's Gas Transport System Operator on Tuesday formally informed Gazprom that it will suspend deliveries of Russian gas to Europe from its Sohranivka gas station
According to the Ukrainian side, the Sohranivkaliang and Simplskov compressor stations were unable to operate due to force majeure
According to Reuters, data from Ukraine's gas transit system on Wednesday morning showed orders for Russian gas to pass through Sohranivka had dropped to zero
Gazprom spokesman Sergei Kupriyanov confirmed On Tuesday that Russia had received an official notification from the wrong side
but that it could not officially impose force majeure and did not see any obstacles to normal operations
Russian presidential press secretary Dmitry Peskov said Wednesday that Russia has always reliably fulfilled its obligations under gas supply contracts and will continue to do
Ukraine currently provides only one pipeline entry point for transit Russian gas, a move that has severely reduced the reliability of its gas deliveries to Europe through Ukraine
The deputy chairman of Russia's National Energy Security Fund Alexei Grevach said Ukraine could trigger a transit crisis
if it does not fulfill its obligation to allow transit of Russian gas to Europe
European natural gas prices will rise further reserve replenishment will also become a problem After the outbreak of the European conflict
Ukraine is still an important transit country for Russia's natural pipeline to Europe
According to Ukrainian data, the daily average of 32.6 million cubic meters of Russian natural gas passing through this pipeline accounts for about one-third of the total Russian natural gas transported to Europe through Ukraine
At the moment the EU imports about 40 percent of its gas from Russia,
Ukraine cutting off this vital energy artery has affected about 13 percent of the EU's gas supply and that raises concerns about the stability of Europe's gas supply and that's true
On the Ukrainian side he was Luchansk who saw that the objective effect of the war was that his gas pipeline was going to be cut
Or this interruption of supply and then there are some financial issues that come with it and that is how do you settle the reduction
How did Russia and Ukraine decide that the liability for such interruption and future compensation would involve complicated procedures
And this problem has to be solved so the overall impact on Europe is we say very serious and will be
How would a partial suspension of Russian gas deliveries from Ukraine affect Europe in a way that would affect not only the actual supply but the entire gas trade
What is the effect of the military conflict between Russia and Ukraine?
This one from Ukraine is not very clever. Let's start with Ukraine
There are probably three goals one is to show the importance of Ukraine there are several Russian summer pipelines to Europe
But it all goes through Ukraine why is it that Russia and several European countries have a joint venture on the NW 2 pipeline
The idea is to avoid the Ukrainian side of the border where there are fighters or whatever the crisis is and Russian gas can still reach Europe safely
Now nord Stream 2 is on the side and Europe has to go through Ukraine to get Russian gas
The importance of Ukraine seems to be underscored by the fact that this is a statement to both European countries and Russia
You leave Ukraine unsettled and the consequence is that neither Russia nor Europe can afford to lose its breath
The other is to attack Russia by cutting off the gas pipeline through Luhansk and blaming Russian interference
To ask Russia to stop attacking Ukraine's infrastructure and third to serve the American strategy
European countries are only too happy to cut their energy supplies to Russia without paying a cent
Russia buys energy and then uses Ukraine's demise to encourage European countries
Be a bit tougher on the goose and dramatically reduce the amount of gas you buy from Russia and get ready for a full shutdown sooner rather than later
But the episode in Ukraine not only proves the need for North-West ii but also makes Europe look ugly
European countries, particularly Germany, which had been hesitant about the Russian conflict, may be reluctant to help Ukraine
Russia is more hesitant to dance around all the obligations of travel to European customers
On the one hand, temporary transfers of other summer pipelines to ensure that customer demand is equal are Ukraine's trick
If Ukraine had the audacity to shut down all the gas pipelines passing through Ukraine
Europe's economy would have been there and Europe would not have joined the United States in continuing to bail out Ukraine
The European Union is in big trouble and I don't think Ukraine is going to do anything about this summer pipeline between Russia and Europe at least not this year
