Gazprom.

The French opinion portal Opinion Internationale has published an extensive analysis on Gazprom restricting gas supply to Europe to force the launch of Nord Stream 2. The piece sheds new light on the dispute over the gas price crisis. Did Russia’s partners in Germany know about it in advance?

In the 20th century Józef Piłsudski proposed a preventive war against Germany in order to avoid a World War. It is time for a less drastic solution to defend Moldova against Russia, which is using gas as a weapon, which may be a foretaste of further hostilities against Europe. It’s not about the hussars charging, […]

The primary goal of Russia and Gazprom is to lay the groundwork for the launch of the Nord Stream 2 gas pipeline. The gas conflict with Moldova could have had a negative impact on the image of this project, which ultimately prompted Gazprom to sign a new, five-year contract for gas supplies to Moldova – […]

The current gas crisis has drawn attention to the actual owners of Germany’s gas storage facilities, which are German in name only. However, few have noticed that Germany’s entire gas system is either directly or indirectly managed by Russians. It took Moscow almost 20 years to acquire German energy assets – writes Mariusz Marszałkowski, editor […]

The homeopathic gas supply organized by Poles and Ukrainians to Moldova, which is suffering from shortages, is only a band-aid solution. Putin used Gazprom as a weapon against that country. It’s time for Europe to respond – writes Wojciech Jakóbik, editor-in-chief at BiznesAlert.pl.

– It is virtually certain that the current situation is largely due to deliberate action by Russia against the new authorities in Chisinau and their pro-EU policy, and that the inability to reserve capacity, which Gazprom uses to explain the drop in supplies to Moldova, is merely a pretext – write Kamil Całus and Agata Łoskot-Strachota, […]

Nord Stream 2 pipeline, though completed is nowhere near delivering gas to the EU and involved in several legal battles in EU and German Courts that can affect the bankability of the project. The latter is acknowledged by the project promotors themselves – writes Wojciech Jakóbik, BiznesAlert.pl editor in chief.

The Russian ambassador to Poland argues that Gazprom did not use gas as a weapon. That’s not true. The company is capitalizing on the energy crisis, and wants to use it to force an early launch of the Nord Stream 2 gas pipeline. The answer to this is a common European policy, for example with […]

Russia has some of the world’s largest gas storage facilities. Every year Gazprom carries out an intensive process of pumping gas into its underground storage facilities. Even though it is not pumping gas into its European storage, which some claim is caused by the high gas prices on the market, the process is in full […]

Gazprom and Rosneft are the two largest energy companies in Russia. Gazprom focuses on gas extraction, and Rosneft on oil extraction. However, the latter has been formulating increasingly bolder plans to enter the segment previously captured by the company from St. Petersburg, which raises concerns among the Gazprom management. Will Nord Stream 2 be the […]
