As winter temperatures gradually fell, the last thing Europeans wanted to see happened: the supply of Yamal-Europe, one of Russia's main pipelines to Europe, fell to zero. And more than a third of the EU's gas supply comes from Russia!
This thing can really be described as: as soon as Russia strikes, the whole of Europe is frozen!
Russia's "cut off" of European natural gas has further boosted the price of natural gas in Europe, which has now exceeded $1,800 per thousand cubic meters.
Uk gas prices have risen around 650% since the start of the year, leading to the bankruptcy of more than 20 domestic energy suppliers. Tensions along the Russian-Ukrainian border have exacerbated the European energy crisis, with European gas prices soaring to new highs and energy shortages worsening.
Europe is richer than China, but the 40,000-month gas bill, most Europeans are certainly unable to burn, even the least rich people in European countries, so poor that they can't even afford to cook, not exaggerated at all.
Some European industry experts began accusing Russia of refusing to supply gas and making accusations against Russia, but who is Russia? How could she admit the accusations, and in the end Europe did not come up with favorable means to force Russia to continue to supply gas, perhaps they also knew from Russian fans that Russia's consistent style.
Because the day before Russia cut off european gas, Germany expelled 2 Russian diplomats. As a "courtesy exchange", Russia also expelled 2 German diplomats.
But the Russians also added with a smile: the cut off of European gas is purely commercial, and it has nothing to do with the kind of thing you say, huh.
Listen, listen, it's not surprising that Russian cold humor can spit blood on European popularity. Why? Because the United States also pushed Russia, behind Russia to cheer up: "What Russia said is the truth, please do not question."
So why did the United States decide that Russia was telling the truth this time?
Because natural gas in Europe continues to soar, and Russia has been charging at the agreed low price, when the supply of gas exceeds the agreed share of the contract, it is a normal business practice to stop the gas supply. Therefore, you see that the United States, a country that only wants to make money and does not want to lose money, is also dumbfounded, and it feels that Russia is right in the eyes of the heart, and it cannot find evidence to deny it.
But now that Europe is so cold, the epidemic is so serious, and the virus likes to mutate in cold air, why can't Russia supply a little more? Why not keep supplying at higher prices?
1. Why give you more for free?
2. Don't want to continue to sign up for you can drop me?
Well, russia that doesn't even want to earn money, you think about why, huh.
So I said that Russia can always punch the hardest fist in the most gentlemanly way, and it looks like a Russian fan playing a European fan, everything seems incredible but so innocent, and even if Russia is still a victim, absolutely no child!
Is this pipeline just going to make Europeans freeze? Then we are looking down on Russia's style.
I reasoned roughly, if you think it's right, clap your hands, if you think it's not right, then when I just reasoned.
It should look something like this:
1. Russia uses this incident to warn Europe not to be so arrogant.
2. The weather in Europe began to dry and cold, the wind also weakened, France, Germany and other places successively closed nuclear power production capacity, at this time Europe can only rely more on natural gas, its own natural gas prices soared is not enough, Russia cut off the supply of cheap natural gas, will make the European energy crisis further worse.
3. Then the people of Europe are naturally cold and warm self-aware, the initiator of the supply cut smoothly pushed the Europeans themselves, who let you expel the Russian ambassador without a problem, and then all kinds of accusations against Russia, European fans will know what is the end of angering Russian fans. When shivering with cold, it is estimated that the most cruel is not Russia, but hates their own country for having nothing to do. Russia sat in the warmth of his home and revealed the signature smile of the former agent...
Winter in Europe is no joke, it's much colder than in our northeast.
The European Union and Germany have recently engaged in environmental protection, banning nuclear energy, banning coal yards, and engaging in environmental protection, leaving natural gas to be used, and as a result, Russia has cut off natural gas... The gas cost of Europeans is more expensive, and now is a special period of rebound of the epidemic, good guys, the European self-destruction program is still open!
Who says vodka can get drunk?
Russia has long learned Chinese drunken kung fu, learned how to make a bottle of vodka go down, followed by a set of combination strategies to put out a good kung fu.
The United States and the European Union have always tried every means to sow discord between China and Russia, suppressing Russia while trying to instigate Russia to fear China and regard China as the most terrible enemy.
See how Russia responded:
Russia does not regard China as an enemy at all, but as a stable rear, and the rear is constantly strengthening and rising, then Russia has enough energy to toss and turn those Western players all day.
At present, Europe is economic downturn, the epidemic is raging, the weather conditions are not optimistic, when the extreme cold strikes, Europeans are afraid that they will not be frozen.
