MEDVEDEV PREDICTED AN INCREASE IN GAS PRICES IN EUROPE UP TO 2 THOUSAND EUROS - IT WILL KILL ENTIRE INDUSTRIES!

MEDVEDEV PREDICTED AN INCREASE IN GAS PRICES IN EUROPE UP TO 2 THOUSAND EUROS - IT WILL KILL ENTIRE INDUSTRIES!

The Deputy Chairman of the Russian Security Council Dmitry Medvedev commented on the decision to suspend the certification of Nord Stream-2 and allowed a sharp rise in gas prices in Europe.

Deputy Chairman of the Russian Security Council Dmitry Medvedev believes that gas prices in Europe will go up to two thousand euros per thousand cubic meters if the Russian gas pipeline "Nord Stream-2" is not certified. German Chancellor Olaf Scholz has ordered the certification of the Nord Stream 2 pipeline to be halted.

- Well, welcome to the new world where Europeans will soon be paying 2,000 euros per thousand cubic meters of gas! - Dmitry Medvedev wrote in social networks.

It has become known that the German Ministry of Economy by order of Chancellor Scholz has withdrawn from the Federal Network Agency report on the "Nord Stream - 2". As explained by the head of the agency Robert Habek, the geopolitical situation and the situation in the gas market requires a new assessment, so it was necessary to write a fresh report. For his part, Scholz said that everything necessary must be done to cancel the certification of the pipeline now.

Russian presidential press secretary Dmitry Peskov, commenting on Germany's decision, said that they perceive this situation with regret.

- Look how the puzzle is put together. Do once. Hungary did not support the Russia sanctions package at a meeting of the EU's Committee of Permanent Representatives. Do two. Germany stopped the certification of the Nord Stream 2 gas pipeline after Russia recognized the independence of the Donbass republics, Chancellor Olaf Scholz said. And now we recall Putin's words that he said after his meeting with Hungarian Prime Minister Orban: "Next New Year, our partners in Europe will probably have problems (with gas). Hungary will not have any problems," recalled Alexander Kots, a military correspondent of "Komsomolskaya Pravda" Publishing House.

- The Baltic states came up with an inexpensive, non-boomerang and advantageous asymmetric response to Russia's recognition of the LPRR. Estonia and Lithuania (and probably Latvia soon, too) will turn off all Russian TV channels on their territory," Alexander Nosovich, editor-in-chief of the analytical portal RuBaltic.Ru, wrote in TG Channel.

The main thing in Russian foreign policy in recent years for the near abroad is to revise the status quo. The highest manifestation of this rule was Crimea, but yesterday's recognition of the Donbass republics is also part of the same trend, the expert believes.

- This is what has pissed off the "international community" the most all these years. The West has the right to change the rules, not Russia. However, the reality is inexorable to the notions of good and right: in reality it is Russia that changes the rules. And where it is not profitable for Russia to remain in suspense forever, dynamics are inevitable. By the way. This was a speech about Transnistria. This frozen conflict is beneficial to anyone but Russia, which is diverting its resources, time and nerves to it. It would not work to keep the issue quiet indefinitely, promising to deal with the Transnistrian settlement and not doing so, because getting out of the status quo is unprofitable and the situation in limbo for almost 30 years suits everyone. Zelenski also thought that it would work," Nosovic explained.

At the same time, Gazprom's shares are rising amid the news that the certification of Nord Stream-2 has been halted. Along with gas prices in Europe. So who imposed sanctions against whom? Who punished whom? - the analyst asked himself a question.
