The Russian gas price is at the
Highest. Level. Ever.
#PutinAtWar
Wow. Just wow!
#Gazprom reduced the gas flow to Europe
via Belarus and Poland by 70%
and via Ukraine by 20%
Since. Last. Week.
These are official Gazprom figures. Putin is using energy as a weapon, calling the Merkel-Biden bluff, and Germany does NOTHING to counter the move.
#BREAKING
Gazprom tells reporters, they expect "a cold and snowy winter", as per Russian state news (TASS).
#PutinAtWar
113€ / MWh and rising, ladies and gents.
100% up in three weeks.
This is crazy.

Hearing from a source that Gazprom can mostly lean back right now & enjoy the fire it started, just watching market mechanisms under monopoly circumstances play out & see European countries fighting each other for the last gas.
Source: Gazprom 10% involved, gaining 100% from it.
Hearing from another source that this entire agreement (@HeikoMaas celebrated himself for) is indeed a receipt for disaster for 🇺🇦.
It is based on the principle “ship-or-pay”, meaning Gazprom can fulfill the contract by only PAYING for the gas, but not SHIPPING it through 🇺🇦.
So 🇩🇪 celebrated a contract between Gazprom and Naftogaz that allowed Gazprom to destroy the Ukrainian grid by lowering the gas transit / pressure to 1 bcm per day WITHOUT BREACHING THE CONTRACT AND TRIGGERING ANY SANCTIONS.
In think I don’t have to add much to this screenshot.
