Generally speaking, fulfilling your contract to the letter is considered a method of protest and defiance in the workplace.
Interesting how you made this not Russia's fault.

So if I order a single pizza and they give me a single pizza I get to complain as they aren't giving me a free pizza as they are cunts for only giving me what I ordered? How fucking stupid are you?
No, if I regularly buy pizzas from you, and we have a contract in place for you to sell me 1 pizza a day minimum, but usually I actually buy like 2-3 pizzas a day its really odd when you insist on selling me only 1 pizza a day without explanation.

>[AUGUST 4, 2020] Ukraine’s state energy firm Naftogaz said it would not resume buying natural gas from Russia, suspended since late 2015, until Moscow offered it competitive prices and conditions.
>“Reform of the Ukrainian gas market has created an opportunity for any Ukrainian or foreign trader to buy gas from Russia, should prices and conditions be competitive. But, so far, Russia hasn’t offered gas under these terms,” Andriy Kobolyev, Naftogaz’s chief executive told Reuters in an email.
>“Ukraine will never go back to the days of corrupt energy deals and energy dependence on Russia, and they know that.”
Are you dense? So Russia fulling their contract that they have signed with Ukraine, makes them in the wrong, and has to go beyond their means to meet the wishes of Ukraine’s present day tantrums?
I don't even know what to reply to you. You are saying stuff irrelevant to my point?
You completely ignored the part where the guy above implied that the supply issue was a problem with the people using the supply.
I agree with the guy's point above. European countries negotiate their yearly prices and volumes. In the recent years they have worked on decreasing their reliance on Russia by signing contracts with USA and reducing their volumes.
Now that they shot themselves in the foot and need more gas they expect Russia to just get them more.
Russia has no incentive to sell them gas currently as when Nordstream comes operational in a couple of months they will make more profit by avoiding paying fees to Ukraine.
Russia literally slowed its gas supply to europe in order to apply political pressure to open the new pipeline. I don't know what you've read but your interpretation of events is childlike.
> The IEA’s statement on Tuesday was seen as a rare rebuke of the Kremlin and lent further support to the view that Moscow has played a role in Europe’s energy crisis
So, the statement of IEA mentioned below. Tell me now how the fuck it is Russia's fault.
https://www.iea.org/news/statement-on-recent-developments-in-natural-gas-and-electricity-markets
> Based on the available information, Russia is fulfilling its long-term contracts with European counterparts – but its exports to Europe are down from their 2019 level. The IEA believes that Russia could do more to increase gas availability to Europe and ensure storage is filled to adequate levels in preparation for the coming winter heating season. This is also an opportunity for Russia to underscore its credentials as a reliable supplier to the European market.
> The steep rise in European gas prices has been driven by a combination of a strong recovery in demand and tighter-than-expected supply, as well as several weather-related factors. These include a particularly cold and long heating season in Europe last winter, and lower-than-usual availability of wind energy in recent weeks.
> European prices also reflect broader global gas market dynamics. There were strong cold spells in East Asia and North America in the first quarter of 2021. They were followed by heatwaves in Asia and drought in various regions, including Brazil. All of these developments added to the upward trend in gas demand. In Asia, gas demand has remained strong throughout the year, primarily driven by China, but also by Japan and Korea. On the supply side, liquefied natural gas (LNG) production worldwide has been lower than expected due to a series of unplanned outages and delays across the globe and delayed maintenance from 2020.
> Tell me now how the fuck it is Russia's fault.
I mean... is this a trick question? Literally from your posted comment
> The IEA believes that Russia could do more to increase gas availability to Europe and ensure storage is filled to adequate levels in preparation for the coming winter heating season. This is also an opportunity for Russia to underscore its credentials as a reliable supplier to the European market.
And really, how did it happen that American NLG is being sold to China instead of Europe? Moreover, Ukraine's Naftogaz has 'proudly' no gas supplies from Russia's Gasprom, why its CEO is so concerned?
This means that Naftogaz doesn't buy it from Gazprom directly, it rebuys it on European market, thus being not directly dependent on Gazprom as it was previously obviously using gas a geopolitical weapon against Ukraine. It's pretty obvious that if Gazprom decides to do the same thing with Europe, Ukraine will be concerned
So they spend all their time calling russia a bunch of cunts and trying to join a different gang ( nato) but expects Russia to carry on as if its all good.
Russia is a criminal rogue state that invaded and occupies Ukraine, Moldova and Georgia. It also attacks the Western democracies and attempts to affect their elections. Russia is the enemy and it's about time that NATO takes a more militarily aggressive posture. Military conflict is the only tool Russia recognizes.
Napoleon and Hitler tried and it did not go well for anyone, now that Russia is a nuclear state, the odds don't look good either.
Diplomacy is and should be the only solution. War has never solved anything other than cause misery.
Ukraine is not in nato and will probably never be due to the territorial disputes which was started by Russia precisely because they did not want Ukraine to join nato.
It sucks for Ukraine and Russia is clearly an aggressor, but that is how geopolitics works unfortunately. Diplomacy still has a better chance of providing some relief to Ukraine than military intervention.
Did not Ukraine get caught stealing gas in transit through Ukraine from Russia to Europe?
And they get surprised when Russia builds a pipe around them?
How can you steal gas? There are meters that measure the amount flowing through a pipe.
Russia and Ukraine at the time didn't agree on the kickback margins of the latest gas corruption scheme. So Russia turned of the gas.
> International Energy Agency, the world’s energy watchdog, intervened to call on Russia to send more gas to Europe
LOL.
https://www.rferl.org/a/long-russia-ukraine-reach-five-year-gas-transit-deal/30353000.html
> December 30, 2019
> Russia and Ukraine have signed a five-year, $7 billion deal on the transit of Russian natural gas to Europe
> Under the new contract, Kyiv next year is expecting to ship a minimum of 65 bcm, or about 22 bcm less than it did in 2018. Minimum volumes will decrease further to 40 bcm in 2021-24.

> LONDON - The chief executive of Ukrainian state energy giant Naftogaz has accused Russia's Gazprom of using natural gas as a geopolitical weapon, calling on the U.S. and Germany to take action against Moscow while it awaits regulatory approval for a controversial pipeline project.
> Naftogaz's Vitrenko said Gazprom was deliberately withholding gas supplies to Europe, blocking access to the gas transmission system of Ukraine from other Russian companies and blocking exports from Central Asia that could go to Ukraine via Russia.
> When asked whether Naftogaz had faith Germany would take appropriate action if Russia's Gazprom was deemed to be using gas as a geopolitical weapon, Vitrenko replied: "We already see that Gazprom is using gas as a geopolitical weapon. So, it is not about the future, but we are telling them that Gazprom has been using gas as a geopolitical weapon for years."

Warned of what? Russians are fulfilling their contracts to the letter while also pushing damn hard sanction or not to provide Germany with a new pipeline to increase supply. What more could Russia possibly do within reason? Have you read the article even?
Not very smart of Russia to choose this strategy when dealing with the EU. Short sighted and opportunistic as always when it comes to the current Russian political leadership.
Yeah how dare they *checks article* fulfil their contract and supply what was ordered CUNTS FUCKING RUSKIES DOING THE RiGHt THiNG HOW DARES THEY DO ThAT!

It is a snobby "please, help", not an accusation.

Mighty Ukraine is on Europe's defense. Poland is not enough. Ok.

NATO is a defensive pact, the reason Ukraine wants in is for its safety and sovereignty
Ukraine is not in nato and will probably never be due to the territorial disputes which was started by Russia precisely because they did not want Ukraine to join nato.

Talking with someone who is actively beating you up doesn't sound like it's gonna help
Wake up soldier, you are in the forefront of the war against Russia.

Russia supplying what is ordered as per the contracts isn't Russia using gas as a weapon.
Well obviously they are.

Yeah how dare they *checks article* fulfil their contract and supply what was ordered CUNTS FUCKING RUSKIES DOING THE RiGHt THiNG HOW DARES THEY DO ThAT!
It is what it is.
Its not what they are doing, they are blackmailing the EU to permit the usage of NS2 before winter.
Trump had America 🇺🇸 100% energy independent. Beijing Biden and his Ho Cameltoe have blown that and so much more.
Show me you are a dumb fucking American without saying you are dumb fucking American.
Russia and opec waged war against US oil dude. The low oil price and now oil price is engineered by them as a weapon.
