🪆 the nested doll of lies - a story of russian energy blackmail:
😱a sanctioned turbine (currently in 🇨🇦) is necessary to operate Nord Stream 1
🧐There’re 7 turbines, this is only 1 of them. Turbines currently operating are sufficient for full capacity
reuters.com/world/exclusiv…
😱 without #NordStream2 - Europe can’t attain energy security
🧐 putin’s energy weapon was never going to bring new gas to Europe; it’s only purpose was to squeeze Ukraine out of transit. As M Gonchar convincingly argued, it ruined European security

euractiv.com/section/global…
😱 if #NordStream1 is shut down, the east-west gas flows can’t continue
🧐Europe doesn’t depend on #NS1. This route is preferred by Russia, but alternatives are plenty
🇺🇦 has around 109 mcm/day of spare gas capacity and it could be used to offset flows”

The elaborate nesting doll🪆of lies is powerful weapon of #PutinWarCriminal agression

Immediate termination of #NordStream1 will have a massive symbolic significance.
It will strengthen 🇺🇦, demonstrate 🇪🇺 unity, and finally end Putin’s energy blackmail

⚡️ Latest by S. Makogon on putin's favourite gas pipeline #NordStream1 via @KyivIndependent
Spoiler alert: it's time to 🛑 shut it down 🛑

"Rusia started this war, but it falls upon all of us, not just #Ukraine, to end it"

Thread 🧵 1/10

2/10 How can we say with confidence that 🇺🇦 is fighting for 🇪🇺? Well, there is a simple thought experiment for you.

Would 🇪🇺 be safer if 🇺🇦’s bravest sons and daughters weren’t willing to give their lives in a fight against genocidal neo-fascists?

3/10 Would the world be safer if the barbarians, who indiscriminately shell civilian targets, who kill, rape, and torture, succeeded in their war of conquest and captured Kyiv in three days, as the Kremlin reportedly wished?

"Nord Stream 1 is not advancing 🇪🇺 interests and it is still pumping 🇷🇺 gas exports directly to 🇩🇪, bypassing 🇺🇦. There has never been a better time to shut it down."
our CEO, S. Makogon shares his views in an op-ed for @EURACTIV

euractiv.com/section/global…
2/14 For decades, Putin played hardball with the gas trade, and Europe usually met it with appeasement and acquiescence. In Ukraine, we found it puzzling. Europe depends on Russia for less than half of its gas, but Russia depends on Europe for pretty much all of its revenue.
3/14 When it comes to natural gas, Putin’s pivot to Asia is an empty threat. First of all, Russia’s extensive pipeline network is heavily oriented toward Europe.

“the German People must learn how the intrinsic signalling that came along with the continued failure by Merkel’s government to terminate #NordStream2 was perversely interpreted by putin as a green light to attack Ukraine.” Writes M. Gonchar for @EURACTIV

euractiv.com/section/global…
“With the pipelines of death, the Kremlin had two objectives: to squeeze Ukraine out of the gas transit and cement Gazprom’s hold over European gas markets – controlling transit routes and the commodity. This was never about commerce.”
“As long as Russia depended on Ukraine for gas transit, Putin’s hands were tied, and he couldn’t wage his war. When Nord Stream 1 was launched in 2011, transit via Ukraine was cut. Turk Stream started flowing gas to Europe in 2020. The same story repeated itself.”

For years we said, Ukraine is a reliable transit partner for 🇪🇺 Reject #NordStream2, don't let putin weaponize energy

To every doubter out there, to everyone who questioned GTSOU's reliability, to every gazprom apologist who supported NS2

We said continuity of transit was Ukraine's biggest non-military barrier to Russian aggression. Now we see it
2/5
We offered as much transit capacity as Europe needed, but Gazprom chose not to use it and blackmail Europe instead. If you ever claimed this was Ukraine's fault, now your public apology would be welcomed

THREAD 1/8

Operational Update / 12th day of war

Indiscriminate shelling of nonmilitary targets, civilian population, and strategic infrastructure by the russian invaders has resulted in a major accident on the Kramatorsk-Donetsk-Mariupol gas pipeline.
tsoua.com/news/stan-robo…
2/8 Our system engineers recorded a sharp pressure change in the transmission system and had to shut off the gas flows.
As a result of russian attack, 24 gas distribution stations in the region have no gas supply.
3/8 About 1m consumers in Donetsk & Zaporizhzhia provinces have no gas. Our local teams and the engineering department in our Kyiv HQ are looking for technical solutions to minimize the losses and restore the gas supplies.

QUESTION: now that 🇩🇪 halted certification of #NordStream2 will it cause gas shortages in Europe?

ANSWER: no.

in 2021, ~40 BCM of gas arrived in 🇪🇺 via #Ukraine 🇺🇦 (that's roughly equivalent to 🇩🇪's total gas consumption)

0 BCM of gas was transited to 🇪🇺 via #NS2

🧵THREAD
NS2 was never going to bring new gas to 🇪🇺
It's a question of simple arithmetic.
🟨 total gas exports from 🇷🇺 to 🇪🇺 in 2021 = 140 bcm
🟨 maximum gas exports from 🇷🇺 to 🇪🇺 estimated at ~200 bcm by Gazprom itself
🟨 total existing transit capacity to bring 🇷🇺 gas to 🇪🇺 = 266 bcm
The gas crunch in Europe is a consequence of discretionary and deliberate efforts by Gazprom.

Don't take our word for it, just ask @fbirol of @IEA - the most respected international body, staunchly neutral, always objective and data-driven
