IL: Peskov syyttää eurooppalaisia poliitikkoja Nord Streamin sulkemisesta
klo 04:58: Kremlin lehdistösihteeri Dmitri Peskov sanoo Venäjän valtion omistaman Rossija 1 -tv-kanavalla, että eurooppalaiset poliitikot ovat syypäitä Nord Stream 1 -kaasuputken sulkemiseen.
- Jos eurooppalaiset tekevät täysin järjettömän päätöksen, että he kieltäytyvät huoltamasta laitteitaan, - tai pikemminkin laitteita, jotka kuuluvat Gazpromille, mutta joita heidän sopimuksen mukaan on hoidettava - se ei ole Gazpromin vika. Syyllisiä ovat ne poliitikot, jotka päättivät pakotteista, Peskov sanoo "Moskova. Kreml. Putin." -ohjelmassa.
Peskov lisää, että Euroopan poliitikot joutuvat nyt seuraamaan, miten kansalaiset "kuolevat aivohalvauksiin nähdessään sähkölaskunsa".
- Ja nyt kun kylmenee, tilanne pahenee entisestään, Peskov sanoo.
Halvalla tästä ei pääse. Saksalainen ekonomisti Jens Ehrhardt esittääkin laskelmissaan siirtymäajan olevan neljä vuotta ja hintaa tulevan
1 triljoona euroa. Eikä siinä vielä kaikki..
A German economist Jens Ehrhardt confirmed that Berlin will incur €1 trillion in the cost of replacing Russian pipeline gas with an expansion of liquefied natural gas (LNG), which requires the construction of a special infrastructure for that.
The economist said in an interview published by the newspaper “Handelsblatt”: “My view in the political struggle with Russia, is that in Germany and Europe we do ourselves a lot of harm by imposing sanctions on Russia.”
“Germany, which lacks innovation, relies heavily on traditional industries such as the automobile industry,” Ehrhardt added.
He continued, “In the next four years, we will not be able to replace cheap Russian gas at all, and expanding the capacity to receive liquefied gas, it will cost us one trillion euros, according to some estimates.”
He pointed out that “the so-called green revolution will lead to higher production costs … and industries in Germany will become more expensive and therefore less competitive.”
He expressed his confidence that “the volume of German exports, which has increased by 50% since the adoption of the euro, will now begin to decline, and this will hurt our high export share more than other countries… We in Germany will go through very difficult times.”
The German expert criticized the US Federal Reserve’s measures aimed at combating inflation.
“I think the US Fed is making a big mistake right now, and it’s probably the biggest mistake since World War II,” he said.
He expected a repeat of the collapse of the German stock index Dax, which fell by about 12,500 points last March.
Pakotteiden kerrannaisvaikutuksia voi tässä kohtaa vain arvailla mutta esimerkiksi Briteissä 6 yritystä kymmenestä saattaa joutua lopettamaan toimintansa, kertoo Bloomberg.
Soaring energy bills are threatening to put six in 10 British manufacturers out of business, according to a survey that lays bare the extent of the crisis facing the next prime minister.
MakeUK, the lobby group for UK factories, said that nearly half of manufacturers have experienced a jump in electricity bills of more than 100% in the past year.
“The current crisis is leaving businesses facing a stark choice,” the report said. “Cut production or shut up shop altogether if help does not come soon.”
The UK’s new prime minister will be announced on Monday, with Liz Truss expected to beat Rishi Sunak, her rival in the Conservative Party leadership race. The government is under intense pressure to announce a wider package of support to help consumers and businesses cope with an unprecedented surge in global energy costs.
Britain’s factory sector is already in decline, according to a purchasing managers’ index published by S&P Global this week. MakeUK’s survey said that 13% of factories now have reduced hours of operation or are avoiding peak periods, while 7% are halting production for longer stretches.
“Emergency action is needed by the new government,” said Stephen Phipson, MakeUK’s chief executive officer. “We are already lagging behind our global competitors.”
