- How Europe is Funding Putin's War | Vantage with Palki Sharma
The European Union has spent around $5 billion on Russian LNG in the first seven months of 2023.
The bloc seems to have swapped piped Russian gas for its liquefied version, despite promising to reduce dependence on Moscow.
The EU's LNG imports from Russia are 40% higher than its pre-war levels. Palki Sharma tells you how Europe is inadvertently funding Putin's war.

Hypocrites of nth rate😃😃😃
How I$rael gave shots of birth control to Ethiopian Jewish woman, without their knowledge and this has caused infertility in Ethiopian Jewish woman ♀️
Anyone remember when EU threatened to ban petroleum products from India because the raw material was from Russia.
Hypocrisy in it's finest form. 😎
It's not hypocrisy, it's just a way reduce Russia profits. Europe buys refined products from India, made from Russia's oil. India gets the profits and pays Russia. India is financing the war too, how about that?
😎😎😎
Was about to write this thank you for mentioning this
And lndia is dumping US dollar for Chinese Yuan in Russian oil purchase.
😂😂😂
Europes hypocrisy used to be annoying. But now it’s just the comic relief of the day. Now I even look forward to it :)
It would be hilarious had it not been tragic.
@@prasannadhopate8513 , yes...tragic for the people
It's hypocritical considering that theyve threatened African countries with sanctions if they ever worked with Russia.
What's hypocritical is India in BRICS. Like hell they get along with China lol
Imagine that when we are trying to buy affordable oil for our economies in africa.
Hypocritic scoundrels and rascals all rolled into one, one cannot get anywhere such a total package of all the above mentioned qualities.
What else can you expect from bloodthirsty colonizers who cannot look beyond themselves.
@@yugmathakkar4023We are very forward in time to still call them colonizers.
Palki will be criticized for this reporting , Bravo!!!
Not just hands, entire Europe is dipped in blood
Well said
Europe is drowning in blood. They are human history’s greatest murderers, almost every major country. Their capacity to execute mass genocides, massacres is unimaginable. Both colonial atrocities and church inquisitions.
This guilt makes them talk all those noble human values, it’s a way of washing that guilt and look good.
Violent anglos
Of course when you stand against the west like Victor Orban you're labelled all sorts of things. The west uses democracy as a weapon to depose leaders they see as "unfriendly". When they fail they use their puppet organisations like Human rights watch, amnesty international and the so called independent analysts to accuse you so many things to tarnish your credibility. Well done orban!
Imagine BRICS and the African countries invaded Europe, we'd be fupped
I am sure palki will be criticised by western news portals for this report..i hope palki keeps reporting like this.
I don't think so, Europe agrees with this report.
Nothing to criticise. All are facts.
All are facts so its tough to criticize. It is a little self-servingly dubious because she is telling her audience what they want to hear without really painting an accurate picture.
Did EU buy 40% more Russian LNG than the previous year. Yup. But they bought so little before any uptick is going to seem large. This is why she reports; "40% increase!!!" rather than hard numbers.
Before Putin's war EU was buying $150bn in Russian gas. Now? They buy $5.5bn in LNG and Palki is crying hypocrisy.
Smart lady, but she is kind of India's Tucker Carlson.
Economist magazine already did last week.
@@lonelinessinmilan6486Unless you exclude the British propaganda tools from Europe, then no, Palki was criticised precisely for reporting on Europe.
As they say only people with full stomach espouse philosophy. Once you and your loved ones feel the pinch all ideologies go out of the window. I just wish Europe was more honest.
very well put
It is because of this truthful reporting that western media houses are accusing Indians newsrooms of "not being well informed on international issues." The west wants India to report news that they approve of that is why you can see Wion is currently bootlicking Washington, inviting the so called independent analysts whobare basically former CIA and Millitary officers on Washington's payrol. Thankd Palki. However, i habe noticed Palki's hatred towards China, i do not understand why?
@wonderful - please wait till pigs fly!
Europe was, is and will remain the most hishonest and selfish people in the entire world. History tells more about their deeds than their words. Their media houses are epitome of hypocrisy and filled with propaganda.
They could learn to be more honest but unfortunately they listen and follow the US how to be dishonest .
Gotta love Palki's straight-faced sarcasm on European hypocrisy.
Since i was a child i used to heard "democracy " now i knew what it means 😂
Same here😂
@@khan.954 it's a upside down thing as a democracy, what's not normal, it's normal and what's normal is not normal.
It really means Hypocrisy.
Nigeria musician icon fela, called democracy meaning as ( DEMONSTRATION OF CRAZY ) 😂😂😂😂
@@mosesjochebed5859 😀😃 that's mad
Cutting edge, honest stories like this and Palki's fantastic reporting is why Firstpost just keeps growing. Well Done!
Europe spending 10billion on Russian gas does not imply Russia makes 10billion but we get your point
From Pakistan❤
“It’s shocking that countries in the EU have worked so hard to wean themselves off piped Russian fossil gas only to replace it with the shipped equivalent,” said Jonathan Noronha-Gant, senior fossil fuel campaigner at Global Witness. “It doesn’t matter if it comes from a pipeline or a boat - it still means European companies are sending billions to [Vladimir] Putin’s war chest.”
Europe can't just buy LNGs from America. It's too expensive and everyone knows if the cost of living goes up, their support goes down. Britain for example is going through a major social-economic crisis. 1/3 of its people are living in ghetto-style neighborhoods. trying to survive.
The same applies to America! European, Asian and other Countries are "sending" Billion$ to Biden's war chest.
Western motto: Do as I say, not as I do. 😂😂😂
well put
You most accurately say what west is😂
Good point
Nicely said😂
@@vivek421 lol Im happy that some people see things the way they are at least in regard to the west. I"m from the Netherlands
Hypocrisy at its highest level. Europe sanctions developing countries for working with Russia yet they’re the biggest trading partners.Let’s see if you can survive without Russia and China or Africa. I were you I’d die on principle rather than trade with my purported enemies. Good reporting Palki keep it up you give us undiluted reports.
Or even rather if they want to live comfortably, at least be honest about it. This is 2023, everyone can see through their hypocrisy and lies, and these lies are hurting no one but europe themselves.
China is a hypocrite dictatorship!! Don't mix China with Africa as it's being exploited by China & west!!
Hypocrisy developed Europe.
No, Ancient Europe was based on human and moral values parallel to the gospel and the Church. But with time, greed, jealousy and usury have bypassed the original values to impregnate satanic and immoral patterns and behaviours, making people barbaric with anti social behaviours leading to corruption at all levels.
Now same hypocrisy kills Europe 😂😂
More like "Hypocrisy is Europe's DNA".
Who suffered the most in West and russian war in ukraine?
Ukrainians - directly
Global south - indirectly
West: indirectly itself
Duh.
@@TheAryanKnight West is rich, they can afford inflation as well as war.
How did Global South suffer
@@anurag123B Energy is the base component for the sustenance and growth of any economies. Higher energy prices fuelled by war has caused unsustainable hyper inflation in most of the global south. With debt that was already taken, global south is feeling like a person whose head and legs are tied to cranes and is being pulled on opposite side.
THANK YOU FIRST POST ✅🌟💯👌
You saved Journalism by Giving Us PALKI....
" Europe decided to stop buying Russian Gas ...... How very Noble"
Palki Sharma 😍.
Democracy at home , dictatorship abroad.
Underrated comment
Beyond Gulzar level brother. I will use this.
Lately there's more dictatorship at home as abroad is having none of it as more and more countries become belligerent to western values and conditions.
They are NOT democracy. No votes matter. All the voting methods have been rigged.
Islam at home, Secularism abroad😊
Swede here. Can confirm that Russian oil and gas tankers still arrive in Nynäshamn every month.
Thanks for sharing the truth. If it was in Russian tankers that will not look good at all.
Norway got Rich using al this mess, Sweden should also explore around norway seas and drill for gas/oil.
@@freedom3040 Funny story there is that Norway invited Sweden to tag along and search for oil in the sea back in the 1900s, but Sweden declined.
🤣🤣
Jag satt precis och undra om Sverige är inblandad😧
My day brighten up when Palki says the word ‘hypocrisy’
"Buying Russian gas has the same impact as buying Russian oil. Both fund the war in Ukraine," Global Witness campaigner Jonathan Noronha-Gant said.
The only thing funding the war in Ukraine is American and Nato money and weapons. Without this the war stops tomorrow.
"How very noble!" 😂😂 The savage Palki Sharma! 👊
And, they give out "Nobel prizes" to themselves for noble deeds. 😂😂
Watching west's hypocrisy is one of best comedy show.
True
Absolutely true. It’s not annoying anymore. I even look forward to it! It’s a good laugh.
Say me where u come from? I think, u sit in your land in corruption too! XD
Democracy, u Noob!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
@@Arun_Kumar_UK is also stupidity... they stopped buying gas from pipes, but buy LNG from Russia that is more expensive.
The sanction is "only we can buy from Russia others cant" 😅
Yes, it was in the footnotes. No one reads the fine print.
I really feel sorry for Ukraine. They have enemies who pretend to be friends.
Truest post of the day ! Zelensky destroyed Ukraine. In India we had a Nehru and Gandhi who hobbled us for 60 years.
@@devannayar6456 the west is friendly... they sent 150 billion worth of weapons to fight Russia until the last Ukrainian.
Ukraine shouldn't have attacked the Russians
Palki Ji, your responses are just as sharp as that of Dr.S.Jaishankar Ji & you put those anti-India hypocrites where they belong while tearing them apart. Namaskar and you are Bharat's fierce form of Durga in journalism. Love your analysis. Jai Ho. Pranam
a moment without hypocrisy is a moment wasted🤌
Great job exposing these hypocrites. Keep it up.
What a nice piece of information. Fully agree with Palki. You are spot on.
Well said Palki 👏👏👍
europe needs to be taught a lesson. only putin can do it.
🤪
@@laoxianmodi😮😮😮
@@soragaming3653 "Europe needs to be taught a lesson" by seeing the war is a farce.
europe has cut 80% of its trade with russia, india has increased it by 50 or something. but europe is wrong? there are clearly people here who needs to be though lessons, and they are not in europe
A whole continent based on saying 1 thing and doing another 😅
😂 And sending weapons to Ukraine. Small babies.
Spot on 🎯
Western hypocrisy never dies, 😁
Well done ! Firstpost 2M 👍
Next, you should report on the West's uranium imports from Russia -- which were left out of the sanction packages.
& fertilizer which was also kept out of sanction
yes, great point. 😂
Exactly!!
Dear PS, this is one of the best news presented when you're impartial and unbiased.
Why? It sounds impartial because she did not trash China? She has been trashing everybody but some more and some less.
Hypocrisy has the other name europe😅
Well said. Greetings from Serbia.
Remembering Dr Jaishankar reply
"How very noble," Palki. Hahaha, I just love Her.
So truth! All around hypocrisy. All times has been like this: dominant over dominated
Thanks for the clear and genuine information
Thank you so much for exposing the hypocrisy of the EU.
Palki ji 🙏 for a brave Revelation . Europe by hypocrisy has only succeeded in creating economic problems for their countrymen .
It makes a lot of sense by sanctioned cheap Russia gas(pipe) and buying LNG instead for much higher price😂😂
Just to help Putin to fill his war chest better....
Palki has served it raw and cold.
They have this 'Holier than thou' attitude, that doesn't allow them to admit their mistakes.
*Even the CCP bots in comments would agree with Palki.* Only if Chinese govt was more peaceful and maintained good ties with India, Asia would've been a superpower.
Ccp making new fancy disney land like maps.
CCP bots love to criticize others but at the same time they cry when they get gutter oil and plastic rice for food
Those are fools who called European war 1 and 2 as World War even Tho 90% of The world Were Silent
In Tamil there is one comedy "unaku vantha rathom yenaku vantha thakkali chutney ah" 😂😂
well done Palki😎
You’re absolutely right, we in the EU are seriously a bunch of hypocrites. And not particularly clever either
Good for India for not being bullied by the U.S.-led NATO military-industrial complex.
Economist : damn inspite of us warning Indians to change their view, they stick to their guns.
Hypocrisy is unbelievable 🤣🤣🤣🤣
After watching a few news videos from her, I found the host is a very intelligence, smart, professional and excellent news Journalist, well done!
Hippocracy of West is no longer a secret to the world.
Thanks to our FM jaisankar and now you palki mam
Great report. Informative. Thank you.
One of those good Palki takes. 👏👏
Well said Palak … like always crisp and to the point ❤
Dear Palki, i love your reports, i only recently started listening to your broadcasts, i find them informative and well presented. As for Zelensky in time he will have to answer to the Ukrainian people, of course he will be in Israel and avoid the reckoning.
India must stop refined products out of the raw Russian supply to the EU till this winter.
viva BRICKS PLS ,VIVA RUSSIA
Their hypocrisy is on another level 😂
Thank you for showing the western double standard ❤❤❤❤
This was imported into Europe within a month. In the space of a year it is impossible to become completely independent. Gazprom said today that its trade fell by 93% compared to forecast. Apparently what wants to appear is that Europe is importing more gas than before. It became ridiculous.
Yes, we understand that. And therefore we thought Europe would understand others' situations too. Apparently they didn't.
Most of EU are developed nations so, it shouldn't be impossible. They are not like developing nations for to consider impossible within year. did you like that? i guess no. Then don't expect others as well. EU is like grumpy boy who mocks other's but when other's do it, he cries like baby with blaming others.
Most of EU people don't understand the basic instinct like if i'm facing this challenge, most of others facing it too. But at present EU people aren't like that and have total woke mindset.
The lng gas is not produced by Gazprom, but by other companies, as I know.
@@Papiaso Whoever said that Gazprom produced LNG just said that Gazprom received 93% less than it had predicted. Great confusion must reign in this little head.
You are Speaking truth, Jai Hind🇮🇳
Very Well said.
Because Europe has america to thank for its security, Ukraine will always come second.
Western hypocrisy☕🤣
I love this woman Palki Sharma - she really tells it like it is & is on point 🎯 lol 🤣😅😂
Hypocrisy in it's finest
Thank you for your report
They didn’t ban uranium from Russia also…
Because Europeans need it and others don't. Western hypocrisy at every level. 😂
Learned a new phrase “Moral High Horse”.
😜
North South East Hypocrisy
Based Palki ! Too good
Wonderful observation Madam Palki.
What would happen if an "accident" happens to one of the LNG ships on its way from Russia to Europe? Would Europe allow its insurance companies to back future shipments?
EU sanctions is the most poor joke in the worst taste.....
West has become a joke 🤣
why they dont buying the usa gas?
"Do as I say, not as I do..."
The EU's hypocrisy knows no bounds :(
Great example of Europe's hipocracy at it's worst ... Claiming to be so "green focused "
and now the truth ....What a joke .
Europeans preach more than practise. Old sense of entitlement.
Zelensky is trying to bite his nose now😂😂
It's always wonderful to listen your analysis you make things easier for us to understand I appreciate you 🙏
Well just look at all of Europe's endless wars in Africa
And they lecture India...😂😂😂
Crazy leaders 😂
Excellent report as usual..
Thank you so much for your concerns about the west and the things they are Involved in
😂 Spy novels read the same way. Agents and double agents.
Oh Boy !! This is going viral. haha
Thanku for pointing this out. The EU Administration becomes more hypocritical by the day. Europe is dying and there is Zero growth. They're panicking !!!!
Palkijee ur presentations r with a lot of study. U r great.
@1:53 aren't those 3 the same nations having the most number of negative perceptions/ opinions on India ? Now, i got why they got pissed of so much. #hypocrite #EU
As a European, I will give my last cent to Russia!
What's stopping you?
@@ajkulac9895 -pauper perhaps!
Palki mam your way of putting points are astounding
How Europe is finding Putin's war ?!
Perfect title 👌🏻
And lndia is dumping US dollar for Chinese Yuan in Russian oil purchase.
At least Russia and chaina are not hypocrite like curtain some countries.
