How Germany got stuck paying for Russia's war. Subscribe and turn on notifications 🔔 so you don't miss any videos: 🤍 Since Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, the EU has sanctioned much of Russia’s economy, but Russia’s natural gas trade remains untouched. The EU gets nearly a quarter of its energy from natural gas, and almost half of that comes from Russia, the world’s largest gas exporter. As the EU’s largest economy, Germany is Russia’s biggest customer, paying Russia’s state-owned gas company 200 million euros. So while Germany has even sent Ukraine weapons, in a historic shift of military policy, through its gas supply Germany is helping to pay for the war it’s trying to stop. It’s inherently hard to pivot away from piped gas. Unlike oil and coal, which can be rerouted, gas pipelines cost billions, take years to build, and physically connect producer and buyer directly, making them long-term commitments. That was the origin of Germany’s dependence on Russian gas, and over time it’s only deepened. Today, as the world tries to punish Russia through sanctions, that dependence is getting in the way.

One consequence of the war in Ukraine is that Europe is now scrambling to reduce its dependence on Russian energy. The price of gas was already high before the invasion. Now that Russian soldiers are in Ukraine prices have spiked again. Natural gas now costs 10 times more than at the start of 2021. Gas is still flowing through pipelines from Russia to customers in western Europe. But if the Kremlin were to cut supplies, that would cause a shockwave across the continent. One natural gas pipeline which has never gone online and probably never will is the Nord Stream 2 pipeline between Russia and Germany. Last week the Germany government cancelled certification of Nordstream 2 a step the US and other European countries had wanted for years.

For years now, Europe has depended on cheap Russian natural gas for its energy needs. Its industries, and in a way, the European Union’s whole economy has depended critically on Russian energy sources. The absence of Russian energy sources has now brought ruin upon European industries and the bloc’s economy. In their bid to shun reliance on Russian energy, European countries have taken several steps. In fact, the European Union is now shifting its energy reliance from Russia, to CHINA! Remember, much of the world sees China as an authoritarian country which has little to no regard for international rules. That in no way seems to be stopping Europe from hopping right into Beijing’s lap with its basket of energy needs. There are already signs of China beginning to exert political pressure on Europe. As a matter of fact, that pressure is intended to further draw Europe into Beijing’s solar energy net.

Watch the German delegation’s response at UNGA when Trump says “Germany will become totally dependent on Russian energy if it does not immediately change course.”
Independence at any price? The European Union wants to reduce its dependence on energy supplies from Russia. In the medium term, that would be possible, although at a high price. Alternatives are too expensive and politically controversial in Germany. Made in Germany plays out the various scenarios. Report by Sascha Quaiser More from this edition of Made in Germany: 🤍
When Russia started to restrict its supplies of gas to western Europe, one of the most affected countries was Germany. The country is heavily dependent on the fuel - and initially struggled to find a replacement. Germany has not only managed to replenish its stored gas, but has also built its first terminal for imported liquefied natural gas - in just 200 days.

Lithuania this month became the envy of the EU when it announced it had completely stopped importing gas from Russia. It was able to pull the plug on Russian energy thanks to its investment in a terminal to import liquified natural gas, or LNG, with the fitting name Independence.

Europe is staring at the prospect of economic collapse. The war in Ukraine and Russia’s weaponization of energy supplies have triggered an economic crisis in the continent. With inflation and debt at record-highs, Russia has pushed Europe into recession. Meanwhile, President Joe Biden’s multi-billion dollar subsidy programs have pulled major businesses out of Europe and threatened the continent’s economic competitiveness. The EU may be undergoing a process of de-industrialisation. HT’s Shashank Mattoo breaks down the origins of the perfect storm that has hit Europe.

How can EU nations quickly reduce their reliance on Russian gas and oil? That’s the core issue of this expert panel discussion that brings together Zanda Kalniņa-Lukaševica (Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Republic of Latvia), Sven Mikser (Member of the European Parliament) and Oleksii “Alex” Riabchyn (Energy and EU Green Deal advisor to the government of Ukraine). The panel was moderated by Cathryn Clüver Ashbrook (Global Public Policy Institute) and co-curated by the Munich Security Conference. In response to the Russian war on Ukraine “we’ve seen an extraordinary unity within the European Union”, Clüver Ashbrook notes. But, she wonders, will the unity last? To Zanda Kalniņa-Lukaševica, the need to stop buying energy from Russia is clear. “It’s not about cheap or expensive gas or oil. It’s about lives of innocent people”, she argues. Estimates vary but it costs Russia “approximately 20 billion euros” per month to finance the war, the Latvian politician says. “So we are directly financing it. Until the moment we are stopping buying the oil and gas.” Sven Mikser agrees. Weaning Europe off of its dependency on Russian energy is painful, he says, “but it’s possible and it’s necessary”. In his view, the war is both an “existential crisis for Ukraine” and also a threat “in very many ways to Europe’s security.” The DLD Conference channel features all talks held at past conferences and our digital format DLD Sync as well as the highlights of our events.

he U.S. and the European Union will push to boost supplies of liquefied natural gas to European countries by the end of 2022 in a bid to displace Russian gas, a political framework that now leaves companies to sort out the details. Under the agreement, Europe will get at least 15 billion cubic meters of additional LNG supplies by the end of the year, though it’s not clear where it will come from. Member states will also work to ensure demand for 50 billion cubic meters of American fuel until at least 2030. The aim is to work with international partners to help the continent wean itself off Russian gas, which accounts for about 40% of Europe’s needs. “We’re coming together to reduce Europe’s dependence on Russian energy,” U.S. President Joe Biden said at a joint press conference with European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen, who added that 15 billion cubic meters this year “is a big step in that direction.” Subscribe to our YouTube channel: 🤍 Subscribe to our newest channel Quicktake Explained: 🤍 Bloomberg Quicktake brings you live global news and original shows spanning business, technology, politics and culture.

But one district in Germany has perhaps already shown how the continent could end its energy dependence on Moscow.

Given the strong dependence of many European countries on Russian gas and oil exports, the war in Ukraine has created fundamentally new conditions for the European energy policy leading to calls and first steps (such as the scrapping of the North Stream 2 pipeline) to reduce this dependence. The seminar addresses dependence issues, as well as debates on the impact of the war to the transition to renewable energy sources, the redirection of trade from Russia to other providers, and the role of nuclear power (with potential divisive effects both between and within member-states).

Germany's plans for a pipeline supplying Russian gas have been thrown into doubt. The US ambassador to Berlin has urged Germany to ditch the Nord Stream 2 project. And now France says it could halt the construction process by subjecting the Russian company building it to tougher European Union rules. Critics say the pipeline - due to start pumping later this year - will make Germany dependent on Moscow and undermine European security. That leaves a key part of Germany's energy strategy under threat.

Europe will end its energy dependence on Russia but to do so from one day to the next would plunge it into a recession, risking hundreds of thousands of jobs and entire industrial sectors, German Chancellor Olaf Scholz said on Wednesday. "Sanctions should not hurt European states harder than the Russian leadership," Scholz told the Bundestag lower house of parliament. 🤍 #eudebates The European Commission will look into the question of energy price caps after an extensive debate on the topic pushed by Spain at the EU summit, German Chancellor Olaf Scholz said on Friday. Germany and many other countries are sceptical about market interventions against high energy prices, he told a news conference at the end of the two day EU summit. #sanctions #Germany #Energy #Scholz #Russia Earlier, a European Union source said Germany and the Netherlands had opposed the southern countries in a “tough” debate on the issue of price caps. European countries had agreed however to cooperate on the joint purchase of gas on a voluntary basis, Scholz said. The German Foreign Minister stated that the war in Ukraine “destroys” the Kremlin and that they will constantly tighten punishments. German Foreign Minister Olaf Scholz assured Parliament on Wednesday that the sanctions decided by the West against Russia for the invasion of Ukraine “work” and warned Russian President Vladimir Putin that there will be more and that “it is just the beginning”. “We see sanctions working. This is just the beginning, we will constantly tighten sanctions,” Scholz said in a debate in the Bundestag in which he sent Putin the message that the war in Ukraine “destroys Russia.” Scholz said in relation to the war in Ukraine and a possible negotiated solution that “Ukrainians and no one else negotiate” about that country, although he added that Berlin will do “everything we can” to contribute to that process that leads to peace. “We have avoided confrontation in Europe for eighty years and it must remain so,” said the German Foreign Minister, who insisted that in the war in Ukraine NATO “will not be a party, that is what the European Union (EU) and the United States agree on.” About the Russian president, he recalled that he has spoken with him on several occasions in recent weeks and assured: “He has to know the truth, war destroys the future of Russia. The guns must shut up right now.” Scholz alluded to the reception of refugees from Ukraine in several European countries, including Germany and proclaimed that they are welcome but that there is “a huge task ahead” and praised the “unprecedented wave of solidarity” demonstrated by citizens. 🤍 #eudebates

Watch the full video here: 🤍 Russia’s invasion of Ukraine has shattered the maxim, in vogue at the beginning of the 21st century, that we had reached the end of history with liberal democracy being the final form of government for all nations. War in Ukraine is just the tip of the iceberg in a string of political, social, military and economic developments that have called into question the world order established after World War II. The United States – once a champion of the free world – is ramping up efforts to reshore its industries to keep up with increased competition from foreign powers, who are now challenging its previously undisputed hegemonic role in the international order. Meanwhile, deep internal rifts have polarised the nation, casting doubts over its long-term direction and capacity to act as an ally. On top of this, demographics are in favour of Asia and the global South. Germany – today the most populous country in the EU – represents only 1% of world population. The EU countries altogether tally some 450 million people. Future trends, however, show many European states stagnating or even depopulating, while other countries of the globe continue to grow. The future of our world will be indeed one in which Europe is “the small countries”. Since the 1990s, after the collapse of the Berlin Wall, the fall of the Soviet Union and the end of the Cold War dominated by the Russia-America bipolar world order, decades of hope for a better future ensued with democracy, free trade and innovation. Today, we seem to have been shot back to some of the scariest points of the 20th century, with a renaissance of economic alliances, trade tensions, and aggressive industrial competition if not outright conflict that is uprooting the world we live in. The values of the past decades are losing ground, with the good we saw in those decades now in retreat. Whether it be in the rise of autocracy, democratic backsliding, the politicisation of science, or the decline of free trade, the world is clearly on a new trajectory from the one of just 20 years ago. At the same time, the energy transition as a weapon to combat climate change involves a shift from fuel-intensive to raw-material-intensive economies, embodying the shift in the Balance of Power. This concentration of supply chain control and the dependence on said supply chains, as Russia’s energy blackmail showed, can be a dangerous predicament to be in, and necessitates a paradigm shift from “just in time” to “just in case”. Most of the equipment used for clean and renewable technologies today comes from China. In 2022 before Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, Europe relied on Russian pipeline gas for 40% of its supply. Today the EU imports are well below 10% of that gas thanks to higher renewable ambition, energy savings incentives, supply diversification and gas storage efforts. Europe’s future independence lies in energy security. For energy security, Europe must persist in the energy transition to power itself with homegrown clean and renewable energy while developing new storage technologies, robust electricity infrastructure, and flexible assets aimed at balancing variable generation.
When Russia threatened to turn off the gas taps if Europe didn’t start paying for its energy in rubles, the continent held its breath. What would a stop to Russian gas mean for the chemicals industry – and all the other industries that depend on it? A handful of European companies are gearing up to comply with Moscow's demands that they pay for Russian gas in rubles. Guntram Wolff, president of Bruegel Institute think tank says EU leaders must ensure that companies adhere to the bloc's stance and reject the mechanism for ruble payments.

For decades, Europe depended on Russia to supply it with low-cost oil and natural gas to keep its industries buzzing. But now, Europe’s industrial energy costs are soaring in the wake of the Ukrainian crisis. Natural-gas prices are now three times higher than they were a year ago, and factories are scrambling to find alternatives to Russian energy, unsuccessfully so. No replacement for Russian energy. The European Union claims to be punishing Russia, in line with which it has stopped consumption of Russian fuels. That’s what the world is being told. But that’s not the case. Europe continues to import a prime Russian fuel. Surprisingly, nobody seems to be talking about this continuing trade between Europe and Russia, and the EU is maintaining stoic silence on the issue.
