You obviously do not understand the real state of the world.

Big war = economic turmoil economic Turmoil = Angry people Angry people = Civilian uprising. Civilian uprising = end of the status quo and creation of power vacuums. Even when war breaks out economic normality is valued more than the positions or morals behind the war.
Not strange at all. Russia was still paying because they needed the revenue and Ukraine was letting the gas go through because .... You guessed it, they needed the revenue.
@@phelanwolf6747there are lots of reasons why Russia is invading Ukraine. I read a UN report about how rising temperatures will cause lots of ice thaw in northern Russia which will create lots of flooding and bog lands. This is predicted to impact how Russia can farm. Ukraine on the other hand seems to be more fertile as temperatures rise. This at least one component of Russia invading Ukraine is to try and claim more sustainable farming land.
Russian gas was paid for by Germany and other EU users. Russia paid transit fees to Ukraine. Ukraine used the revenue to fund its defense against Russia. Russia used the revenue from gas sales to fund its war against Ukraine. Russian gas supported EU industrial activity, which in turn, generated the revenue to fund its weapons supply to Ukraine. It’s a virtuous circle. Makes sense?
How else would they make war bro. Its all a game. America fuks with others, and we try to put back the pices. All for the number#1 ....America sick fuks
Certainly does. It's for the best now however. And the two dictators Fico and Orban, they have been on the Russian side all along. Best kick those out.
Misleading. Ukraine ended the transport of Russian gas to Europe, not Russia. Russia would have kept supplying gas to Europe but Ukraine refused to allow it due to the war.
Russia could also just, you know, stop making everything complicated by sending their military into another sovereign country launching a war totally unprovoked. And don't start saying BS about the expansion of a defence alliance as a valid casus belli. The only reason to oppose your neighbors wanting to join a DEFENCE alliance, is if you plan on invading them in the future.
Ukraine will suffer the most of this political move. 1 Ukraine lost the free gas from Russia. 2 Ukraine lost $1 billion of transit fees from Russia. 3 Ukrainians cannot steal Russian gas anymore They were always stealing Russian gas and the Russian did not complained about it. Italy, Austria, Slovakia, Moldova and Transnistria lost the gas deliveries. Hungary has the option to get gas from Turkey.
Yes Hungary have connection with pipes from Serbia. But its as you said the line that goes throught Turkey. There is a possibility that Slovakia and Poland will also join to that line.
Not exactly when it comes to gas. Russia doesn't have either the pipelines or the LNG facilities to ship all that gas they were selling to Europe to third parties who could then sell it back to the europeans. And the price is only higher when it comes to gas (around 200%-250% more), though in february 2024, it was back down to historical pre-war level. High gas prices are not to be taken as granted in the long term. As for oil, they had enough capacities, but the russian companies paid most of the price for that, as the europeans paid the normal market price for that oil, the third parties took their share, so Russia had to vastly reduce its margin to keep selling. Easy to see as once the discount disappeared, India suddenly stopped importing so much russian oil.
Partly true, but you also left out one point... Russia get less profit from OIL, and more profit when they sell refined products. India for example, do NOT want to buy refined products, ONLY oil that they can refine and GET the profit out of it... so TRUE, Russian oil goes to India, is refined, and sold among others to the EU. This means that Russia (under the sanctions get LESS paid for the oil). So Russia suffers... India profits, and the EU buys the gasoline at NORMAL price... it is NOT to my knowledge more expensive than others. EU now imports less oil from India than last year. And it is an ongoing discussion how to face that problem. USA, EU and UK are planning to add more sanctions on Russian oil export (the shadow fleet), and possibly banks that help/finance them. So things could be moving.
Thats what Putin is counting on, he hopes to keep the european elite up on their heels financially while the majority of european workers and lower class people start to suffer and revolt.

EU's economy is still growing, although with a slower rate comparatively to few years back, and/or the US.
@@ayodeleoluwaseun7333 You know that exact price is dependent on which country you are talking about right? Because each country has different transit path and in many cases - supplier mix. Still there is not that much of a discrepancy between market and landing cost in Europe. We are talking about several euros more or less per MWh for gas (even less if majority of gas is coming from Norway), not a meaningful amount that can sway entire industry sectors. The broad range currently is +/- 8 euro from the market price.
how many weapons did you transit to ukraine? arms shipments from EU countries hit by the pipeline shutdown are paid for, why would you stop such profitable business?
@@HCqvintus First of all those weapons belong to EU nations, and as everyone knows the countries of the EU desperately need to rearm and build up their own militaries. Even worse, much of those weapons come straight out of the military warehouses of EU nations, thus depleting the little stocks they have. So yeah, if those Ukrainians want to close off the gas supply to the rest of Europe, fine, but then the EU needs to completely close off all the arms shipments and aid supply to Ukraine as well. Seeing as the EU/Europe is by far the biggest donor to Ukraine, that country would crumble in no time.

Indeed, when will it wake up? The damage done by the EU to its own population since 2022 is enormous, but the politicians are keeping the EU population "sweet". At the same time people cannot pay their energy bills any longer, inflation is shocking, the damage to the EU societies is enormous and the industry suffers. 1 jan. 2025.
No the Europeans destroyed it themselves by forcibly looking the other way following years of warning signs and warnings from all over the world including Trump. Germany chose instead to laugh at him and now wants to blame the US regardless. Cognitive dissonance.
The EU is suicidal. First, car manufacturers will meet the requirements for combustion engines with a minimum of pollutants. When companies pour billions into it, they ban their engines and force them into electric cars. Many EU countries do not have enough electricity already. Now war Russia Ukraine again. Yes, the EU has decided that good Russians live in Ukraine (and that is why they are called Ukrainians) and they need to be helped. Now it will be at the cost of the fact that the EU will have a shortage of gas and its price will skyrocket. States with access to other gas will save it for themselves and will not release it further. In the end, the EU will buy overpriced gas from ships. It will be Russian gas, sold to another country and from there with a surcharge to the EU. I'd love to be wrong.
The rich countries buy the same oil from Russia then resell it to Europe at a higher price. We are the ones who will struggle... The wealthy will one again profit...😂😂😂
India has emerged as the largest purchaser of Russian crude oil since the onset of the war, while also becoming the primary exporter of oil products to the EU. LOL 🤣 Consequently, the EU is paying three times the usual price for the same commodity.
@@iam5085 is not really that big of a lose, Russia can always sell GAS to China or India, but now EU has to buy almost 3 times more expensive from USA, so... who is the loser?
Your Government and europes also want the war . An American president did warn you not to trust Putins gas supply . But your leaders laugh in his face . Now Trump gets to make $$ from your stupidity .
The reason our prices in the west for gas are so extortionate is because we cut off our nose to spite our face by refusing to buy Russian gas, now we buy Indian gas (who by it from Russia) and pay to have it shipped to the eu or we buy American gas and also pay to have that shipped. Gas in Russia is about 0.06p per kwh we are paying 100x that price now because of our government
@@thwalesproductions I didn't say we "relied" on Russian gas, I said we bought it, we also bought gas from the EU who themselves bought a lot of gas from Russia. Its not just as simple as a direct purchase... the very point I was making RE India selling gas they bought from Russia.
And the energy companies are laughing to the bank with 300% profits whilst average energy prices per household is £300. Then govt will freeze ver 100,000 pensioners because govt can afford their winter fuel payments, whilst funding the war in Ukraine. Just nuts.
Certainly not Slovakia and Hungary. They made a bet that russia wins, and now they're paying the price. Tomorrow they might be begging the EU for financial support.
The real friends in the world are those that want to maintain peace and stability. Look at the last 30 years... there is one country that wants the complete opposite of that and is always quick to "help" with arms sales. If you ever want to know who is behind all this, just simply follow the money.
what about UK? the gas and electric tariff prices are very high! Don't laugh at other countries, we are already in trouble! Check out how much we pay utility bills every month now!

As Europeans we’ve to thank our clever leaders. Now Asia is buying cheap energy while we’re filling the pockets of the Americans at a much higher price.
Other things are key for Slovakia. Ukraine stopped gas to our territory and de facto declared war on us. We must act accordingly. If the European Union does not stand up for Slovakia, it will mean that European solidarity is just an empty phrase and the EU has only one goal - the war against Russia. Hitler's "united Europe" once had this same goal - if this is to be the future of the EU, then this is its definitive end.
Slovakia does not stand up for the European Union. You've lost your EU funding for ending your democracy and becoming an autocratic dictatorship. As a dictatorship, you are on your own. Putin won't come to save you. You should learn from what happened in Syria, Georgian, Kazakhstan, and Armenia. Putin takes but does not give.
It's not EU's or Ukraine's fault that Russia started this war in 2014, and Fico was too busy kissing Putin's butt instead of worrying about his people.
A winter or 2 ago Germany was chopping wood to stay warm because they had shut down all their coal power stations and were in the process of shuttering the few nuclear plants left online. Make it make sense...
Europe spent the past 3 years preparing for this. The media’s trying to make this into a big deal but it was a mutual decision between both the EU and Ukraine. Ukraine did their part by honoring the contract, despite being at war, and Europe used that time to find alternatives. Now the contract expired they have no reason to renew it
russian gas is cheap no avialable other source will provide europe with cheaper prices than russia, and like the reporter said this will affect their competitiveness and cost of living and in all aspects of life
There are only two counties that are taking Russian gas right now. And they don't even need it. Educate yourself before posting some halfbaked bullshit please.
All planned. 🇺🇦 is a proxy to be sacrificed to weaken 🇷🇺. This was always the plan, now European countries will have to buy gas from 🇺🇸 for 10x the price. The energy company’s will be ecstatic with happiness. Now they can rip off there customers even more.

Estonia immediately after Russia started its invasion into Ukraine stopped all energy imports from Russia. My wife is Estonian btw. We have children and Kaja Kallas was her classmate..😉
when u stop the gas and it severly harm the people who sit warmly in their homes and lose jobs and get de-industralized for another country. then you are stupid leader. now being able to do it because u are a $hit country who does not massively rely on gas and energy and being poor. then its fine, coz to begin with, ur country is $hit. you dont need cheap gas. good luck buying x8 from USA. EU has been milked suscessfully and im happy to see it.
Of course it should be noted the gas pipelines and infra running through Ukraine were Soviet built. Decommunization was one of the three stated SMO goals (Demilitarization, Denazification and Decommunization) of the Russians for U.S./Eu politically controlled territory of Ukraine.
And just to be clear Russia still has 1 million state soldiers plus scores of mercenaries.. This is a chastising for trying to join Nato after agreeing in the 90's that they wouldn't
Oh, the old propaganda....Ukraine decided to apply for NATO only after it was invaded in 2014. They didn't want to join NATO before that. They only wanted to join the EU and to get rid of their dictator.
They didn't try to join again until after Russia fermented and supported an "independence movement" (how long until Putin would have absorbed them into Russia?) and then invaded, citing a bunch of crazy reasons ( "They're all literal Nazis! They're building biological warfare labs that we still haven't found! We conquered them once, therefore they've always been Russian and legally can never be independent!")
No way the EU is gonna use only expensive gas from third countries. Now, the Russian gas is still gonna come through the South Stream. If the North Stream was completed, it could be great
Before: Russia paying transfer fee to Ukraine EU paying gas fee to Russian Ukraine only get benefit since they don't have to pay anyone. Now: Russia selling more gas to India EU buy more gas from India India get rich for reselling. So the Ukraine did shoot theme in their own feet. No free money anymore.

@@harrynguyen4140 the only reason the EU doesn’t want Quatar LNG is because Quatar will not sell it with conditions that the EU wants to impose such as their immigration policy.

The EU has no problem telling member countries to either freeze or pay the highest price available for LNG.
Why are Americans still complaining that this war is too expensive for them? Now you're saying that America is profiting. So which one is it? You, as in "you the ones trying to sow dissent among the western civilization"
People seem to focus on one side of the coin, stopping cheap gas and going for the alternative source in order to fix Russia may seem like a good move for those who would not be affected; those ordinary consumers of the gas would pay more. One has to ask yourself, who is benefiting and who is losing?
Actually, I’m wondering why they didn’t figure out an alternative years ago since it makes sense not to renew a contract that isn’t in your best interest; there is nothing new about the expiration date of the transport contract and makes zero sense for Ukraine to renew it. Why use a fuel that you are 100% dependent on outside providers to run your industrial base? Seems foolish…
@@roberthealey7238 Politically & to those watching from the terraces (i.e. other countries not affected), you may say 'best interest" but the move was unwise economically. Even America still buys from Russia for its nuclear power stations. They exclude sanctioning what they need .

Will it work? ●Coal was meant to help build Siberia and the Far East. The national energy strategy of 2012 aimed to match Soviet levels of coal production by 2030, increase coal power generation to free up natural gas for export, and expand coaling capacity at ports. Production increases have continued steadily the last two years despite economic headwinds in a bid to maintain market share. ●In 2010, Russia produced 323.4 million tons of coal and has increased production since. The Ministry of Energy projects this year’s production at 390 million tons. Domestic demand has been flat-aside from a temporary spike due to lower water levels in Siberia last year, which reduced the availability of hydropower. Exports have driven growth, but China also introduced import tariffs on Russian coal in 2014 and is changing its energy mix. ●As China and India become price-setters and coal’s prominence declines, Russia’s coalers are quite exposed to external price volatility. Prices have spiked because of underproduction in China, and Chinese firms are playing catch up to stabilize the market. Trends in China, India, and Asia, at large are negative, despite short-term demand growth, and competition from natural gas within Russia threaten numerous investments made by Russian coal companies in recent years. www.ft.com/content/6225ff10-ee9d-11e9-a55a-30afa498db1b In the Asia-Pacific region alone, nearly 2,600 platforms, 35,000 wells, 7.5 million tonnes of steel and 55,000 kilometres of pipelines will need to be decommissioned over the next decade across a region ranging from India to Papua New Guinea and China to Australia. The potential cost for this could rise above £78billion. Malaysia, Thailand, Vietnam and Indonesia are collectively thought to have around 1,500 structures and 7,000 oil fields that will be either 30 years old or require decommissioning by 2038. In the Gulf of Thailand, Chevron is faced with 300 platforms and 6,000 wells that must be decommissioned over the next decade. India has a further 300 structures and up to 1,000 oil fields facing the same scenario. Australia expects 40 offshore fields to cease operations over the next decade. Closer to home, according to industry analysts Wood Mackenzie, up to half of the North Sea’s 600 installations - first installed 40 years ago - were due to be decommissioned by 2021. The UK government estimates the cost of removal at £20billion over the next 25 years in the North Sea. Globally, more than 4,000 such installations are scheduled for removal and 7,000 fields will cease production by 2022.

EU buying russian Energy through 3 parties at higher prices
Not exactly when it comes to gas. Russia doesn't have either the pipelines or the LNG facilities to ship all that gas they were selling to Europe to third parties who could then sell it back to the europeans. And the price is only higher when it comes to gas (around 200%-250% more), though in february 2024, it was back down to historical pre-war level. High gas prices are not to be taken as granted in the long term.
As for oil, they had enough capacities, but the russian companies paid most of the price for that, as the europeans paid the normal market price for that oil, the third parties took their share, so Russia had to vastly reduce its margin to keep selling. Easy to see as once the discount disappeared, India suddenly stopped importing so much russian oil.
Partly true, but you also left out one point... Russia get less profit from OIL, and more profit when they sell refined products. India for example, do NOT want to buy refined products, ONLY oil that they can refine and GET the profit out of it... so TRUE, Russian oil goes to India, is refined, and sold among others to the EU.
This means that Russia (under the sanctions get LESS paid for the oil). So Russia suffers... India profits, and the EU buys the gasoline at NORMAL price... it is NOT to my knowledge more expensive than others.
EU now imports less oil from India than last year. And it is an ongoing discussion how to face that problem.
USA, EU and UK are planning to add more sanctions on Russian oil export (the shadow fleet), and possibly banks that help/finance them. So things could be moving.
Europe do not buy much gas from those countries... like 2-1 %.
And as long as it removes funds from russias war that sounds fine for me.
Exactly.
@@theraiderra8798 China and India bought a record amount of oil and gas from Russia last year.

If you somehow think that individual countries are affected by the entire EU's avg economical state, then also no - it isn't failing. EU's economy is still growing, although with a slower rate comparatively to few years back, and/or the US.
@@akselmani what is the landing cost oil and gas in Europe. You can't judge by the market price
@@ayodeleoluwaseun7333 You know that exact price is dependent on which country you are talking about right? Because each country has different transit path and in many cases - supplier mix. Still there is not that much of a discrepancy between market and landing cost in Europe. We are talking about several euros more or less per MWh for gas (even less if majority of gas is coming from Norway), not a meaningful amount that can sway entire industry sectors. The broad range currently is +/- 8 euro from the market price.
Europeans: We will thwart Russia's economy!
Also Europeans: Why have the prices of gas gone up by 300%?
Maybe we should stop the transit of weapons and troops to Ukraine.
thats logic though😂😂😂
how many weapons did you transit to ukraine? arms shipments from EU countries hit by the pipeline shutdown are paid for, why would you stop such profitable business?
@@HCqvintus First of all those weapons belong to EU nations, and as everyone knows the countries of the EU desperately need to rearm and build up their own militaries. Even worse, much of those weapons come straight out of the military warehouses of EU nations, thus depleting the little stocks they have. So yeah, if those Ukrainians want to close off the gas supply to the rest of Europe, fine, but then the EU needs to completely close off all the arms shipments and aid supply to Ukraine as well. Seeing as the EU/Europe is by far the biggest donor to Ukraine, that country would crumble in no time.
I guess it will be the euro citizens that pay for this
Russia will loose 5 billions so not really.

Yes, the EU has decided that good Russians live in Ukraine (and that is why they are called Ukrainians) and they need to be helped. Now it will be at the cost of the fact that the EU will have a shortage of gas and its price will skyrocket. States with access to other gas will save it for themselves and will not release it further. In the end, the EU will buy overpriced gas from ships. It will be Russian gas, sold to another country and from there with a surcharge to the EU. I'd love to be wrong.

@АнастасияАнастасия-ъ3д That's complete and absolute waffle, Nuclear energy is completely safe if you do it properly and get rid of it's waste properly. But then again eastern europe did give the world the Chernobyl incident so I can see why you'd think it's unsafe 😂
Nuclear waste is a byproduct from nuclear reactors and poses a threath to humans and other animals for countless generations. Do you just throw that garbage into the artic ocean, out of sight out of mind?
Only like 10 years of gas remain ,if used it like in the past ( no fertilizer by gas making Nitrogen to increase crop yields by upto 400% soon , ,No oil = no tractor farming soon = landmine 30% of Ukraine ,Biden sign at 50% reduction in farming for USA and Canada going bankrupt ,Dutch farming being depleted by 30% out of production now ,,,,The natural gas fields in Siberia, Alaska and the Middle East should last 20 years longer than the world's oil reserves but, although cleaner than oil, natural gas is still a fossil fuel that emits pollutants. It is also expensive to extract and transport as it has to be liquefied....Oil running out by 9% a year now, so it is better growing food in gardens and being sustainable,As tractor harvest will become like the dinosaur soon = lockdowns ,electric cars which waste more resources .Gorbachev and Putin ( freemason ) Club of Rome ,depopul95% .They had to decommission the nuclear weapons ,to keep the nuclear power stations going in America ,But coal creates more Uranium ,mercury waste ,and aluminum waste than power stations .Mercury from burnt coal ,goes into rivers ,make birds transgender ( new scientist magazine )
..""" Gas to heat Europe gone > soon
..increase coal power generation to free up natural gas for export,
Russia’s coal expansion is running out of steam
●Despite changes in domestic and international markets, Russia is betting on coal consumption as it moves to develop its eastern regions and pivot from Europe. Will it work?
●Coal was meant to help build Siberia and the Far East. The national energy strategy of 2012 aimed to match Soviet levels of coal production by 2030, increase coal power generation to free up natural gas for export, and expand coaling capacity at ports. Production increases have continued steadily the last two years despite economic headwinds in a bid to maintain market share.
●In 2010, Russia produced 323.4 million tons of coal and has increased production since. The Ministry of Energy projects this year’s production at 390 million tons. Domestic demand has been flat-aside from a temporary spike due to lower water levels in Siberia last year, which reduced the availability of hydropower. Exports have driven growth, but China also introduced import tariffs on Russian coal in 2014 and is changing its energy mix.
●As China and India become price-setters and coal’s prominence declines, Russia’s coalers are quite exposed to external price volatility. Prices have spiked because of underproduction in China, and Chinese firms are playing catch up to stabilize the market. Trends in China, India, and Asia, at large are negative, despite short-term demand growth, and competition from natural gas within Russia threaten numerous investments made by Russian coal companies in recent years.

In the Asia-Pacific region alone, nearly 2,600 platforms, 35,000 wells, 7.5 million tonnes of steel and 55,000 kilometres of pipelines will need to be decommissioned over the next decade across a region ranging from India to Papua New Guinea and China to Australia. The potential cost for this could rise above £78billion. Malaysia, Thailand, Vietnam and Indonesia are collectively thought to have around 1,500 structures and 7,000 oil fields that will be either 30 years old or require decommissioning by 2038. In the Gulf of Thailand, Chevron is faced with 300 platforms and 6,000 wells that must be decommissioned over the next decade. India has a further 300 structures and up to 1,000 oil fields facing the same scenario. Australia expects 40 offshore fields to cease operations over the next decade.
Closer to home, according to industry analysts Wood Mackenzie, up to half of the North Sea’s 600 installations - first installed 40 years ago - were due to be decommissioned by 2021. The UK government estimates the cost of removal at £20billion over the next 25 years in the North Sea. Globally, more than 4,000 such installations are scheduled for removal and 7,000 fields will cease production by 2022.
Bad news for Europe.
Not really. i've never seen gas while living in Sweden.
Conflicts rage in a lot more places than that.
NO MORE CHEAP RUSSIAN GAS. EU economy going down
EU economy is actually growing. Even Ukraine's economy is growing, and faster than the russian economy does.
@7373udhskakkaqqiwi 😀
How's the Ruble going 😅
Zelensky the worlds biggest beggar, still dreaming and causing issues. 😅
three day operation didnt work out
Самая лучшая нововсть для граждан России. Не смотря на то, что мы просили Газпрос закрыть газ, он послал нас нафиг и сказал что будет выполнять договор до окончания срока, не смотря на то, что по этому газапроводу миллионный долги)
Poke each other in the eye...at the same time lol
EU should stop relying on everyone
Every country relays on other countries, macroeconomy 101
