Russia is a big energy exporter, Europe imports natural gas, Russia's exports accounted for 40% of the proportion, according to relevant data, Germany imports natural gas, Russia's proportion has exceeded 50%. In the procurement of natural gas, Europe is quite dependent on Russia, and because of this, the economic ties between Russia and Europe are quite close. Although NATO and Russia are in the process of fierce confrontation, European countries still have to purchase natural gas from Russia, which forms a very embarrassing scene. Also because of the close energy ties between Europe and Russia, the United States tried to break this situation and spared no effort to disrupt the "Nord Stream II" natural gas pipeline project.
February 24, 2022 will go down in history as Russia begins military operations against Ukraine, and according to publicly available information, Russian troops have launched an offensive against Ukraine from three directions. Russia's military operation was carried out by Russia's Ufa to endure the threat posed by NATO's eastward expansion, and after russia launched an attack, the Western countries led by the United States began sanctions against Russia, in fact, on the first day of the Russian military operation, the price of natural gas in Europe rose by 60%. From the end of 2021, the price of natural gas in Europe is soaring, and the sanctions imposed by Europe and the United States on Russia have given new space for gas prices to rise.
Natural gas has become a powerful countermeasure for Russia, Europe and the United States are taking turns to sanction Russia, although Europe and the United States will kick Russia out of the SWIFT settlement system, but do not dare to include the natural gas and oil transactions into the scope of sanctions, the United States publicly said that for Russia's sanctions do not include the energy field, Europe and the United States is to open a backdoor, this is because sanctions against Russia is a double-edged sword, stabbing Russia at the same time, Europe will also suffer a serious impact, in fact, Europe and the United States sanctions Russia's anti-phagocytosis has begun, The increase in the price of natural gas is a concrete manifestation, for which the United States liquefied natural gas can not be supplied in time, because there is a transportation cycle, Europe has paid the price for arrogance, which is to do the end of the United States.
Now the whole of Europe has become the fish meat of the United States, Russia launched a military strike against Ukraine, many European countries announced their support for Ukraine, began to provide weapons and ammunition to Ukraine, in addition to providing anti-aircraft missiles and anti-tank missiles, and now there is also the provision of MiG-29 fighter jets, for Russia is "step by step". 202202405/Global Defense Watch/Ali, after Ukrainian President Zelenskiy proposed the establishment of the so-called "international team", a number of European countries have announced that they will send volunteers to participate in the "international team", and British Foreign Minister Teras openly welcomes the British to fight in Ukraine, which angers Russian President Putin.
Putin ordered russia's strategic strike force to enter the combat readiness duty on the 27th, and Putin publicly accused senior NATO officials of making aggressive remarks, which actually referred to the British foreign minister. If Russia cuts off the natural gas exported to Europe, Europe will fall into panic, and now it is in the stage of the game between Russia and NATO, once NATO's action makes Russia intolerable, Russia will use natural gas as a powerful counterattack weapon, then it will be Europe itself that will suffer, from the russian president Putin ordered the strategic nuclear deterrent force to enter the combat readiness duty, Russia is fearless of NATO's threat.
