Rare!The German Prime Minister sent a "signal for help" to Russia, and Putin finally showed mercy.
German Prime Minister Olaf Scholz recently said at a ruling party convention that he was outraged by Russia's interruption of gas supplies and said the move had forced Berlin to use a final oil reserve, according to news reports. It is worth mentioning that just as soon as Scholz proposed the **, the European Union had already signed a provisional agreement on a new gas rule, which would allow member states to stop gas exports from Russia until new oil sanctions were imposed. Some analysts believe that the move is to reduce dependence on Russian gas.
The above-mentioned information shows that the European Union has different views on certain important issues and it is difficult to reach a consensus. There are also differences of opinion within Brussels and the EU, especially on major issues such as the ban on energy exports from Russia. So, earlier, the European Union adopted a new set of sanctions against Ukraine, which are still resisted by many countries. As the global energy crisis escalates again, some countries feel that the best way out of the current economic crisis is to import natural gas from Russia.
This is not surprising, since politicians in Brussels get money from taxpayers in their member states every month, so they don't have to deal with oil and inflation in Europe. Politicians in Europe have become more determined to abandon their dependence on Russian energy. Scholz said that Europe-wide ** is rising, because Russia has interrupted gas supplies to Europe. This is mainly due to the fact that Europe has cut Russia's natural gas imports by 120 billion cubic meters, which has triggered a worsening of problems such as energy shortages and inflation.
Scholz's speech surprised everyone, but his expression did not change in any way. You know, earlier, he declared that Germany would no longer rely on Russian gas and condemned other European countries from Russia. But now, the disruption of Russian oil supplies to Europe and Germany has sent the continent into an energy crisis, which he complains about. Scholz is like a man, a ghost, a dual personality.
When he makes these points, perhaps we should wonder who blew up the undersea gas pipelines of Nord Stream 1 2. Europe is currently facing an energy crisis, but instead of blaming the United States, Obama has condemned Putin.
Due to the onset of winter, the rapid growth of gas in Europe has led to more and more gas shortages in countries such as Germany. Due to tensions with Russia, Europe's oil supply has fallen sharply, and Germany has to use its oil reserves to meet unexpected events. So, this time, Scholz expressed dissatisfaction with Putin's interruption of gas supplies, which looks like he is seeking Putin's help and has no way to alleviate the country's energy crisis. But Dmitry Medvedev, deputy chairman of the Russian Security Council, retorted: Mr. Scholz is not ashamed to say such things, because they themselves deny Russian gas, ignore the welfare of the population because of their hatred, and now they are pushing Europe's energy problem onto Russia, it is too despicable!
However, while Medvedev is attacking Scholz, Putin appears to be very magnanimous. According to the Financial Associated News Agency, Gazprom has said that it will send 42,200,000 cubic feet of gas per day to Europe through Ukraine's gas pipelines. At the same time, Russia also transports gas to a number of European countries via the Turkish River. This is the key to mitigating Europe's energy crisis. Putin looks like he has no intention of putting further pressure on Europe, which is facing an oil crisis this winter.
Actually, it's not that complicated. In order to meet Putin's special military objectives against Ukraine, Russia must ** gas. In addition, at this sensitive moment, sending more gas to Europe will further deepen the contradictions between EU countries and Brussels, which in turn will lead to assistance from the United States and EU friends to Ukraine. In addition, Ukraine is already in a difficult situation due to the cessation of military support by Western countries for Ukraine, which many American and European analysts believe,"Putin wins"。If this is the case, then Putin may not be opposed to working with Europe to survive the winter. After all, when the war in Ukraine is coming to an end, Putin is likely to lend a helping hand, and he knows that after the war is over, the two sides can still communicate with each other.
