Toxic gasprom. The world finally officially recognizes Russian gas blackmail

Maxim Bilyavsky Analyst of the Razumkov Center Recently, more and more Gazprom stakeholders have been convinced of one of the largest energy holdings of the aggressor state. The European Commission for the first time officially declared Gazprom as a natural gas supplier for the first time.

On the same day, the political commitment of the Russian monopolist is already officially recognized by the Federal Network Agency of Germany (Bundesnetzagentur, BNETZA), noting that the recent northern stream stop-1 stop-1 has been fully executed without sufficient technical reasons and arguments. Video of the day here is appropriate to remind that the German energy regulator at one time made a decision on the certification of this gas pipeline.

Thus, such a public statement, despite the position of Chancellor Scholz on the continuation of Russian gas supply, may signal the future revocation of the Nord Stream Certification 1. It is also worth considering the script of dismantling the North Stream-2. At least, the realism of such an event is indicated by the official position of the Ruling Coalition faction of Germany, which several days ago publicly urged to dismantle this Russian pipeline.

Such a scenario is possible, both from a technical and political point of view. Undoubtedly, this development will actively confront Gazprom, which, by attracting its propaganda and pro-Russian activists, will try to convince the EU to re-profile the northern flow infrastructure, for example, for the transport of carbon dioxide, followed by its long-term storage in the Russian Federation.

In addition to Gazprom's external partners, the Russian Holding unfairness is already partially recognized by the internal stakeholders. The case of dividend payments of the holding is quite indicative. In June, Gazprom, despite public promises, refused to pay annual dividends ($ 24. 5 billion) to majority and minority shareholders. Later, all these funds were withdrawn in favor of one of the shareholders (RF) to the budget of the aggressor state through the mechanism of additional taxation.
