the region raised european quotes, the court is the last working hub for direct supplies of russian gas to the eu. well, what other factors put pressure on gas prices, nika yankovaya figured out. gas prices rushed up in europe, but the largest hub in the netherlands, its cost updated the annual maximum. at the peak, the price reached 445 dollars per thousand cubic meters. among the factors that put pressure on the cost of gas is the situation in the sudzhansky district of the kursk region. the sudzha gas station is the last working hub for direct deliveries of russian gas to

europe, the very possibility of its shutdown spoiled the mood of european traders, especially in austria, hungary and slovakia, these countries receive a significant portion of the blue fuels exactly suzhe. despite the fact that supplies via this route cover only 5% of demand in europe as a whole, the direction is important for import diversification. if europe stops receiving gas via this gas pipeline, then it is necessary. russia supplies gas from which it is extracted by standard methods , gas comes to europe liquefied natural gas from mainly the usa from the middle east, which is extracted by fracturing, that is , it is shale gas, and this method poses a very big threat to nature, for example, such gas extraction methods are prohibited in europe. the second factor that puts pressure on the european gas market is that us lng suppliers

have switched to the asian direction. before the special operation, russian gas covered 40% of europe's needs. at the end of 23, this share fell to 15%. washington had previously promised to support the european union if they refused energy supplies from our country. but now economic benefits have clearly become more important to the states than the interests of their allies in asia. lng prices are now higher than in europe. the americans are very pragmatic, so they supply to the market where the prices are higher. there were even situations when, despite some long-term agreements, and the volume was redirected, in order to win the race with asia in europe, the prices there should be, well, about the same as now, even a little higher, and in order to, well, it is certainly necessary that there were 500 dollars per thousand cubic meters, then the gas will definitely go to europe, but... so far, there are still no such price tags for europeans. germany has changed its dependence on cheap

of russian gas to dependence on expensive lng from the usa. this was acknowledged by andrei hunka, a member of the bundestag committee on international affairs. however, this statement can easily be extended to the entire european union. it is enough to look at the figures. if at the beginning of the year the volume of liquefied gas supplies from the states was several times higher than russian, then by mid-summer it was almost equal. analysts believe that this trend will continue in august. germany called on the country's authorities to reconsider gas policy, since the usa has become an unreliable partner. against this background, the situation in sudzhansky area and the hypothetical possibility of interruptions or stoppages of supplies, looks especially alarming for europeans. in fact , all of europe will suffer economically, because they will lose 15 billion cubic meters in annual terms, these are quite large volumes, and this will provoke a deficit in the european gas market. and accordingly will provoke an increase in prices, therefore, even if some countries do not directly receive russian gas,

they will still suffer from the installation of transit, because prices will rise at any gas. at the end of this year , the agreement between gazprom and naftogaz on the transit of fuel from russia to europe via ukraine will expire. according to the german handelсblad, the eu is negotiating how to extend supplies. one option is to conclude a contract that will allow fuel to be purchased on the border of russia and ukraine and then sent to eu countries. meanwhile, the ministry of energy expects a threefold increase in russian gas exports. by 2050, the figure is expected to exceed 420 billion cubic meters. vladimir putin held a telephone conversation with vietnamese president tolam. the russian leader congratulated his colleague on his election to the post of general secretary of the central committee of the communist party of the country. the parties also confirmed their mutual intentions to develop strategic partnership and cooperation in various fields. in addition, the presidents discussed the implementation

of the agreement reached during vladimir putin's visit to vietnam. the heads of state also positively assess their interaction in the international arena, including taking into account russia's chairmanship of brics. vladimir putin approved the regulation on the presidential administration for state policy in the sphere of the defense-industrial complex by his decree. the decree was published on the official portal of legal information. and so, according to the document, the new structure will prepare a proposal for the president, including on issues of increasing the efficiency of the activities of defense industry organizations. and the administration will also participate in the formation of the armament program and state defense order, and improve the mechanisms for the supply of weapons and equipment for the armed forces. strengthening their human resources, and also in the area of ​​responsibility of the new structure is military-technical cooperation of our country with other states. 1,700 thousand rubles will be received by those who signed

a contract with the ministry of defense in tatarstan before august 20. kazan center batyr from the moment. after all, women's hands are also needed there, help for the guys, it seems to me, at least somehow, well, help, we must all hand in hand, all together, victory will be ours, chose contract service, contacted the batyr center, every day specialists, which here accept from 40 people, the number of those wishing is growing, i decided to come myself, have a look, sign a contract, try myself in battle,

of the center's work, more than 2,500 fighters have already signed a contract here . among those sent to the front line were the new batyr battalion, and the military police. in addition, from august 1, the government of the republic decided to conduct initial training specifically with candidates who are being registered here in the city of kazan, that is, they selected instructors there, that is , guys who themselves took part in a special military operation. this is how they conduct initial training. for 5 days, contract soldiers are trained in tactical shooting, first aid, drone control, and work in mined areas. so that they are ready for the real conditions of a special operation, as if he came for himself, to support the boys, or there, in general, for the homeland, well, as if there is a desire, the instructors here are very good with combat experience, while fathers, husbands, sons defend the country, the center's specialists help their relatives solve everyday issues, apply for benefits, and upon returning from the front line, servicemen are accompanied by specialists

from the fatherland defenders fund, they help with mortgage payments, all questions that concern tatarstan residents and residents of other regions will be answered by one number: 117. diana dasayev irik khamedulin, vesti tatarstan. and now it's time for economic news: chisinau and bratislava fear the cessation of russian gas supplies due to the situation in the kursk region, concerns were expressed by the minister of energy of moldova viktor parlikov and former minister of economy of slovakia karel hirman. the reason for concerns is the possible cessation of fuel pumping through the territory of ukraine against the backdrop of military actions in the area of ​​the city of sudzha. the only transit route of russian gas to the eu countries and moldova is located there. cargo air transportation in russia increased to 153 tons by the end of the first half of the year, which is 3% more than a year earlier, according to the federal air transport agency. as for transportation abroad, the volume is 63,500 tons, an increase of 3% compared to last year, and three times by 2022. let me remind you that after the introduction of sanctions, russian

airlines faced a ban on flights to the united states, europe and other unfriendly countries. vtb launches mortgages in new regions, from today it became available in the donetsk, lugansk people's republics, in the zaporizhia and kherson regions. clients will be able to. get a loan to buy apartments, studios and apartments on the secondary and primary markets. at the first stage , basic mortgage programs will be available, and by the end of the year a preferential one will appear. let me remind you that earlier promsvyaz-bank launched a military mortgage in new regions at 2% per annum. and the number of scooter rides in ush increased by one and a half times to 85 million in the first 7 months. this is stated in the company's preliminary report. the number of accounts is up 42%. to 25 million, and the number of locations is up 15%, for a total of 60. vush has not yet reported its financial results. let me remind you that last year's

propose to expand the pushkin card. these data indicate the unequivocal success of the program, that our youth needs it now, and the kids are happy to visit museums, theaters, exhibitions, and cinemas. moreover, it is necessary to expand the functionality of the pushkin card, i believe that the state can top up the account on the pushkin card for those kids who have shown particular success in their studies, sports, or volunteer activities. on the one hand , this will be a reward for children, on the other hand , we will be sure that such money will benefit the children. the pushkin card is essentially a special bank card that can be obtained by russians aged 14 to 22 years, it can be issued. through an account on gosuslugi in a special mobile application gosuslugi kultura. the pushkin card is credited with 5,000 rubles per year from the state budget and the balance is replenished
