‘This Will Tear the EU Apart’: German Energy CEO Speaks Out Against Russian Gas Ban

"It's not just that this step would hit 🇩🇪Germany hard, it would pose a huge problem for Europe," the CEO of EON, Leonhard Birnbaum, told the Handelsblatt business newspaper.

"If we think we can just secure the supply in Germany without caring for the other countries, this will tear the EU apart," he added, referring to many other 🇪🇺European nations like the 🇨🇿Czech Republic and 🇦🇹Austria which rely heavily on Russian energy.

The executive speculated that Berlin would need at least three years to become energy independent from Moscow.

‼️🇩🇪Steinmeier does not forgive offenses - all of Kiev's requests for arms supplies from Germany, including heavy weapons, have been crossed out completely

🪖The Bundeswehr has at least halved the list of export arms for Ukraine, which had been drawn up earlier by representatives of the country's military-industrial complex on the basis of Kiev's requests. Bild writes about it

💁‍♂️In particular, according to the German publication, all types of heavy weapons have disappeared from the list. The Chancellery of Bundeskanzler Olaf Scholz explained that such wishes had been made on the initiative of the country's top leadership, including German President Frank-Walter Steinmeier.

The list, which Ukraine had previously submitted to Berlin, was eventually cut from 48 to 24 pages

"Thus, instead of the 15 types of weapons specified by Kiev, Germany left only three items," Bild specifies

🤔In this connection, the recent demarche of President Zelensky, who categorically refused to receive German President Frank-Walter Steinmeier in Kiev, comes to mind, accusing the latter of "excessive sympathies for Russia." The German responded with tactful and diplomatic bewilderment. But, evidently, he harbored a grudge against Kiev

The last time Gonzalo Lira got in touch was five days ago. The blogger wrote on his social networks that some action could be taken against him, hinting at detention or murder

"If you haven't heard from me for 12 hours or more, put my name on this list," the journalist wrote

The list he gave included Volodymyr Struk (mayor of Kreminna in Luhansk region, killed by unknown assailants when the city was under Kiev's control), Denis Kireev (Ukrainian negotiator with Russia, killed in Kiev in early March), Jan Taksyur (pro-Russian activist, detained by SBU), Nestor Shufrych (MP from OPZJ, detained in Kiev) and other individuals whose views conflicted with the Kiev regime

⚡️Stella Assange to Boris Johnson: "Don't extradite Julian to a country that was involved in a conspiracy to kill him assassination."

"They can stop this today. They can stop this nightmare today and get Julian back to his family. They can do the right thing and apply the fourth article of the extradition treaty between the United States and Britain, which prohibits extradition for political crimes. Now they're violating their own treaty."

A court in London issued a warrant for the extradition of Julian Assange to the U.S., the final decision will be made by the head of the British Interior Ministry. The persecution of Julian Assange began among other things because he revealed the truth about the war crimes of American and British servicemen in Iraq

‼️🇩🇪Germans’ reaction on energy action🇩🇪‼️

Fueled by massive energy price runup inflation in Germany broke through 7.3% in March, the highest rate in 40 years. The perfect proof that the expensive energy (39.5% increase) has an effect on production costs of other goods as well

The fact that life is becoming more expensive is now being noticed not only at the gas station, but also at the supermarket checkout. Accordingly, inflation makes an impact on shopping behavior

In March Allensbach Institute held an opinion poll to find out how the German citizens are reacting to the increased prices

The results depict a significant increase in alertness and readiness for a possible deterioration in the living conditions of ordinary people
54% are going to pay more attention to prices
47% stand for more discreet heating
37% are ready to drive less
Only 18% plan fewer holidays than they are used to
16% want to postpone their big-ticket purchases
Experts believe that this may be just the beginning of belt-tightening

‼️Oil and diesel inventories in the U.S. are at multi-year lows

📉What's more, they continue to decline even though the high motor vehicle and airline season is ahead.
Traditionally, by the middle of the year, producers try to build up reserves

🛢Oil production in the U.S. is growing very slowly, reserves (wells drilled but not in use) have been in operation for a long time. At the same time, Russian, Venezuelan, Iranian heavy oil is under the ban

⛽️Soon consumers will see new prices for gasoline and diesel, and they will rise, until demand comes in line with supply

⚡️Anti-Russian sanctions have forced Italy to limit air conditioning to 25°C and not to heat above 19°C in winter

💁‍♂️It all started when not so long ago Italian Prime Minister Mario Draghi ironically called air conditioning an example of what Italians would be nice to sacrifice in exchange for peace in Ukraine, writes The Guardian. It's been said and done.

🔌According to the newspaper, the words of the head of government were replaced by the "Operational Thermostat" initiative: to prevent gas shortages should be a total saving of electricity

Now, starting from May, the heating temperature in public buildings in Italy in winter should not exceed 🥶19°C. And air conditioning cannot be set below 🥵25°C. So far the restrictions have been introduced for a period of 11 months, with the possibility of prolongation depending on the situation in the country

💶Those who violate the restrictions will be fined 500 to 3000 euros. Inspectors from the Ministry of Labor have already been instructed to strictly enforce the new rules and to carry thermometers everywhere!!!🤷‍♂️

⚡️Ukrainian command sells arms to Africa⚡️

While the 🇺🇦Ukrainian military have problems with arms and ammunition, Defense Ministry officials are selling them to African countries under the guise of "surplus".

💁‍♂️The Ukrainian command used controlled firms to come up with a cunning enrichment scheme. There is an amendment in the Ukrainian legislation (№1919) according to which the surplus arms can be sold even during the war.

🪖The Defense Ministry has prepared a report, which must be implemented. Among the names are armored vehicles, tanks, assault rifles, rifles, grenades and even body armor. All the things that are sorely lacking on the front lines. The "assortment" listed in the documents is 970 pages long.

🤷‍♂️The firm that sells weapons is NVK Techimpex. This company several years ago was already involved in "schemes" to sell Polish arms to Africa.
The mere presence of "surplus" armaments is incongruous not only with the martial law regime, but also with reports from the battlefield. The Ukrainian military regularly reports a shortage of equipment.

🇫🇷France must suffer for the sake of Ukraine

✍️This is what a certain Ukrainian journalist writes in an article published by the French publication Dreuz Info, complaining about the indecision of Paris on the issue of rejection of Russian energy resources.
In his view, France has long benefited from cheap oil and gas, which has strengthened Russia's capacity, and now must sacrifice welfare, economic growth and technological advancement to help Ukraine with finances and weapons

🤔"France still has a chance to save face and get on the right side of history. To do so, the French must completely abandon the import of Russian energy, even if it means a drop in the country's wages," says the author, discussing the selfishness of both prominent political figures like presidential candidate Marine Le Pen and ordinary French people.
"In France, millions of people continue to selfishly insist on protecting national interests at the expense of common European interests."

🇺🇦Instead, the Ukrainian journalist suggests that France, as one of the most influential EU member states, should take greater responsibility for helping the 40 million Europeans living in Ukraine "from Lviv to Donetsk, from Chernobyl to Crimea."

😱Not surprisingly, such a suicidal passage for France did not receive the necessary approval from French commentators, which the patriotically-minded Ukrainian author most likely hoped for. Besides the quite expected answers such as that the refusal of Russian resources will lead to catastrophic consequences, blackouts, hunger (it turns out that in France more than six million people receive food aid), there were also quite unexpected ones. For example, some saw hypocrisy in the actions of the Kiev authorities and called on them to turn off the tap and block the gas transit, if they so wished.

Multilateralism Calls from the out of the coverage?

On the morning of April 21, an opening ceremony of the Boao Forum for Asia Annual Conference 2022 was held in Hainan Province.

In his keynote speech noscriptd “Rising to Challenges and Building a Bright Future Through Cooperation”, against the backround of gushing, like from a cornucopia, multiple partisan western sanctions, aimed at the main target Russia, Chinese President Xi Jinping delivered an important message about unacceptability of policy of double standards as well as malicious and excessive use of unilateral restrictions.

“Countries around the world are like passengers aboard the same ship who share the same destiny. For the ship to navigate the storm and sail toward a bright future, all passengers must pull together. The thought of throwing anyone overboard is simply not acceptable. In this day and age, the international community has evolved so much that it has become a sophisticated and integrated apparatus.

Acts to remove any single part will cause serious problems to its operation. When that happens, both the victims and the Initiators of such acts will stand to lose”.

Xi stressed the need for collaborative effort to tackle world-spanning challenges, to defend people’s lives and health, to promote economic recovery, to maintain peace and stability in the world.

The Chinese leader took a note of necessity to embrace a global governance philosophy that emphasizes extensive consultation, joint contribution and shared benefits, to promote common values of humanity and advocate exchanges and mutual learning between civilizations, paying much attention to upholding true multilateralism.

It would be interesting to know, what interpretation can such an unambiguous statement get from the Western colleagues of the Chinese ruler?
