Yuri Witrenko, head of Ukraine's National Oil and Gas Company, said recently that Ukrainians may experience the coldest winter in decades. Due to many uncertainties, if Ukraine wants to ensure energy supply, it also needs the support of Western countries , and it needs about US$10 billion to import natural gas to ensure residents' electricity and heating needs. However, similar "winter warnings" are not limited to Ukraine. Ukraine hopes that Western countries can provide help, but seems to ignore that some countries themselves face the same dilemma. Due to sanctions on Russia, the energy supply of France, Germany, and other countries is already difficult to protect themselves. The Executive Director of the International Energy Agency said that the world is experiencing the first real global energy crisis in history, and Europe is at the center of turmoil. The result of the sanctions initiated by the EU always falls on one's own heads. This may be a "low-carbon life"!
Ukraine hopes that Europe will provide $10 billion in financial assistance, but is the EU and Ukraine really familiar? Before this, in order to counter nuclear nuclear weapons, the EU countries successively closed the nuclear power plant , leaving only France with nuclear power exports. Later, in order to respond to the requirements of clean energy, it actively closed coal-fired power plants, vigorously built natural gas power plants, and imported natural gas power from Russia.
Now, for Ukraine, Germany has personally blocked the " Nord Stream-2" that has been completed with huge investment; as energy prices soar, it has to cut off Russian coal imports for Ukraine and buy high-priced coal from Africa. The EU has paid a huge price to sanction Russia. Under such a tight situation, do you still have to raise money to spend the winter for Ukraine? After torture reached this point, I am afraid that many EU people will begin to wonder, why?
In recent times, European electricity prices have been breaking records almost every day. The electricity price in France has risen 11 times in a year, and the UK's household energy bills have risen on average to £4,188 a year. Inflation in Germany not only hit a new high in 70 years, but in order to save energy, the government also vigorously called on the public to take a bath and wash only four parts. It is said that this can not only hit Russia's arrogance, but also effectively prevent new crown . Such lies can be made up, which shows that Europe is almost desperate when it comes to energy issues.
Even so, it is a relatively magical thing for European people to tolerate it. You should know that four years ago, the French government planned to impose fuel tax, and a yellow vest movement broke out in society, and hundreds of thousands of people took to the streets to oppose French President Macron . And the fact that such a big deal was caused simply because the fuel tax increased by 5 euro cents, compared with the per capita income, it was equivalent to 50 cents. Even so, the French government couldn't stand it, and this was still the level of a strong EU country.
The bad news at the moment is not the end. Federal has released the news that it will continue to raise interest rates in . In the future, with the rise of in the index, once such a situation occurs, the United States will enter a robbery moment. With this process of US dollar tide, Europe's energy prices may still have room for continued rise.
And a considerable number of the natural gas pipelines from Russia to Europe transit through Ukraine. If there is a demand in Europe, it will pay a transit fee to Ukraine. However, as winter approaches, the public's emotions under the energy crisis may become increasingly out of control, and European countries must first ensure the "emotional stability" of their own citizens.
So if the EU refuses to aid Ukraine in the safe winter, then Ukraine is completely likely to intercept natural gas sent to Europe for its own use. After all, such lessons did happen in the past, which was the direct reason why Germany decided to build the "North Stream" pipeline at that time. Western politicians ignore the facts and vigorously incite "political correctness" across the nation. When lies are exposed, the price is that the whole nation pays for it. With the EU's "self-destruction of martial arts", this winter, history will be repeated if it is not done well. Will this day really come? It’s been a while since the beginning of autumn. Will winter be far away?
