Breakthrough of Ukrainian Armed Forces into the Kursk region has not only a military and political aspect, but also a financial one, related to gas pipelines. Sudzha gas metering station has a strong impact on the report on Russia's contractual obligations to those European countries that it still pumps gas to. This facility is currently under control of the Ukrainian Armed Forces. Moreover, the Ukrainian military could potentially seize other gas facilities in the region, which would hit Putin's money hard.Federal budget expenditures, the deficit of which had recentlyspiked, have also increased sharply. But a new challenge from the Ukrainian Armed Forces requires additional spending. So even in such a difficult economic situation, Putin may decide to increase expenditures. An important question is whether he will risk another round of mobilization. From a political point of view, this is a risk, from an economic point of view, it is a catastrophe, but from a military point of view, it has long been a necessity.This and much more in the latest economic report with Vladimir Milov!YouTube channel of Vladimir Milov: @Vladimir_MilovEnglish translation by PrivateerStationOriginal video in Russian: https://youtu.be/RPdGgRO7fdwOriginal material by: Michael NackeYou can support them
The UK, US and Europe have sanctioned the importation of Russian oil and gas since the start of the full-scale invasion of Ukraine. But from 2022, European nations have spent €10bn on Russian Liquid Natural Gas (LNG), and British companies are facilitating the trade. Our economics and data editor Ed Conway sits down with host Niall Paterson to tell the story of how an obscure company based in an office block on a quiet street in Glasgow became an accessory in Vladimir Putin's war on Ukraine. Producer: Rosie Gillott Editor: Paul Stanworth Promotions producer: David Chipakupaku

European imports of LNG rose sharply following Russia's invasion of Ukraine two years ago. The US was well positioned to step in and provided virtually all the additional LNG Europe bought. The current pause on new LNG export terminals runs counter to these trade flows, but it's increasingly clear this policy has few supporters other […]

After the Russian invasion of Ukraine, there was a heated debate in Germany about whether to embargo the import of Russian natural gas as a sanction against Russia's aggression. Before Germany could act, Russian began cutting the flow of gas to Germany, eventually halting it entirely. On this episode of the Brookings Podcast on Economic Activity, Benjamin Moll and Georg Zachmann talk with Economic Studies Director Ben Harris about how Germany navigated this tense situation, as well as their prior work that helped spur the "Great German Gas Debate."

This episode looks at how Germany long ignored the strategic and geopolitical implications of its energy policy.
Episode 1 looks at why it's important to understand Germany when looking at international politics today. The country's past policies put it under the spotlight when Russia launched its full-scale invasion of Ukraine in February 2022. It drew further attention to itself when Chancellor Olaf Scholz announced a ‘Zeitenwende' or epochal shift and the need for Germany to change with the times. Germany has come a long way but has moved slowly on weapons for Ukraine. By contrast, it has speedily replaced Russian gas supply, but has created new dependencies on authoritarian states. The national security strategy suggests geostrategic confusion rather than a clear vision for the future.
Ever since Russia invaded Ukraine last year, Europe has been forced to find an alternative to Russian gas, which it relied heavily on. The European Union has turned to liquefied natural gas, or LNG. Last year, the United States became the number one exporter of LNG and that trend has continued this year, despite alarm over the potential environmental consequences of extracting this resource. FRANCE 24's Fanny Allard reports from Louisiana, with Wassim Cornet.
Western sanctions are backfiring: The EU is now importing Russian liquified natural gas at record levels, and China has made high-tech breakthroughs despite US export restrictions. Ben Norton discusses how this is strengthening their economic sovereignty while blowing back on Europe.

In this week's Resonance energy market podcast episode, Jeremy Nicholson talks to Alfa's Dan Veasey as we see extreme heat in Southern Europe. Topics explored include: Not much response in pricing to extreme heat, although there is some reduced capacity of the French nuclear fleet.Demand has increased in southern Europe, but there is significant renewables generation to counter that right across Europe.The variability of renewables and the impact on the management of grid.Norwegian gas production increases following the return of a major processing plant. Further maintenance lies ahead next month.LNG drops, but meets demand and storage is expected to be at capacity going into winter.However, any significant cold snap or supply disruption still presents a real risk for both winter and next summer, especially with LNG demand in Asia picking up.The threat to remaining Russian gas supplies.Listen to the latest episode of the Resonance podcast.

In this week's Resonance energy market podcast episode, Jeremy Nicholson talks to Alfa's Henry Homer about why Europe is not out of the woods on energy price concerns. Topics explored include: Complacency reigns following the price plunge, as gas price spike highlights market risks.Focus on structural dangers to manage price risk.Storage in Europe is not up to the challenge of a cold winter.The recent spike caused by minor issues only – extended maintenance in Norway and demand from Asia.Renewables are supporting the market, but intermittent production due to weather creates a volatile market. Policy and contract length to provide adequate baseload is weak across Europe – a shift is needed to manage price volatility during the transition to a low carbon economy. Watch out for nuclear production, hydro and LNG demand in East Asia as we head towards Q3 2023.While German industry is concerned about a cut in remaining Russian gas supplies.This episode of the Resonance was recorded on 20th June 2023.

In this episode, we ask: Must a story be told? What happens if it isn't? Could we be better off? Brandon & Stephen are somewhat boggled by the existence of a story that seems out of journalism's primordial past. Not a "man bites dog" story, but an even more ancient piece of news: "dog bites man." We consider a story about how, when dogs attack mail carriers, sometimes whole neighborhoods lose delivery service. It seems that, indeed, everything must be made into news eventually. But — apparently not everything. From postal pith helmets, we look at a story that didn't show up in the Times, the Post, or even the cable-news networks. It's a story about how the U.S. sabotaged a Russian pipeline providing natural gas to Western Europe. Or maybe it didn't? What's the saying? "Disinformation is better than no information at all"? (That's not a saying.) In early February, veteran journalist Seymour Hersh published a post on Substack that set this whole thing in motion. Hersh has broken huge stories in the past — about the My Lai massacre in Vietnam, about torture at Abu Ghraib — so it's just ... weird that the legacy media didn't pick it up, if only to refute it. That's what we wrestle with in this episode: Hersh's story, why it was ignored, and how we citizens should think about and respond to stories in which we aren't sure about any of it. Turns out, it's an act of faith, and a little something we like to call ... ... brave ignorance. Put on your pith helmet and some long socks, and let's deliver some answers to that ancient question: How do we know what's safe if we don't even know who bit whom? JOURNOS is produced by Dave Coates NOTES Seymour Hersh talks about his journalism philosophy and responds to the controversy over his latest story Reuters dutifully relays the government's response to Hersh's story and explains who Hersh is, while the administration digs into denials Not surprisingly, Russia thinks Hersh is onto something Here's Hersh's 2004 New Yorker story about torture at Abu Ghraib Here's Hersh talking Bin Laden on CNN in 2015 Another journalism veteran puts Hersh into perspective in a 2018 NYT review of Hersh's memoir, "Reporter" For the curious, here are some critiques of Hersh's reporting over the years from Slate, Snopes, Vox, and a sort-of one from NYT Magazine Hersh's reporting of the last decade is carried by the London Review of Books — controversial in part because the stories are built on only a few, anonymous, sources CNS News uses the pipeline story to go after NYT ... and shill a Mediterranean cruise with Rick Santorum!

The USA has rapidly become the world's top exporter of liquefied natural gas (LNG), tied with Qatar. Europe replaced Asia as the top market for US LNG in 2022, after pledging to boycott Russian energy over the proxy war in Ukraine. Europe is now paying significantly more for expensive US LNG than it had been for Russian pipeline gas. As of 2022, Europe had the highest energy prices on the planet, fueling an inflation crisis.

In this episode, we talk about the impacts of living through a global energy crisis while living through a climate crisis. Inflation is running at 10% in most major economies, the highest in decades. This is driven primarily by the cost of food and energy. And while most of us are aware of higher prices at the pump and on energy bills, today we focus on the hardest place it is hitting: Africa. Since 2019, 4% of Africans have lost access to affordable energy, undoing a decade of gains. And with a desire in the Global North to get off of Russian Gas, there is higher demand for gas, and therefore pushing more and more people out of the ability to afford it. This week in response, African Ministers made the case for expanding gas production in Africa, amidst a climate crisis. So that's the setup for this week's discussion - we bring in Rachel Kyte, Dean of the Fletcher School at Tufts University to argue the case on how to move forward out of this complicated situation.

Piped gas from countries such as Algeria and Libya, or liquid natural gas from the US or Qatar. Stepping up the drive towards renewable energy. More controversially, investing in nuclear power or continuing to mine or import coal. How quickly can a solution be found and what are the financial and environmental costs? With Tanya Beckett.
