on the suspension of supplies by blackmail , vladimir putin's press secretary dmitry peskov has already responded to these words. this is not blackmail, russia has been and remains a reliable supplier of energy resources to its consumers, and russia remains committed to its obligations under the contract. a new method of payment for the need. this new technique was caused by the topic of unprecedented unfriendly steps with the faith of the economy and financial sectors that were taken by non-friendly countries in relation to us , this need was dictated by the fact that as it is known that they blocked us, speaking in russian, they stole a fairly significant amount of our reserves. and all this required a transition to a new payment system, so there is no question of any blackmail in advance, all these new modalities were brought to the attention of buyers by such a definition, we strongly disagree. against

the background of these news, the cost of gas in europe increased by more than 20% at the opening of trading, for 1,000 cubic meters they actually gave 1,330 dollars. now the quotes have corrected the day before the polish company panic, received a letter with a warning that we are talking about the execution of the yamal contract; its final version was signed 12 years ago and was supposed to be valid until the end of the year gazprom reminded buyers that april 26 is the deadline for making payments under the new scheme and became the cause of controversy filled, starting in april, russia switched to gas payments. in rubles. european importers must send payment to a foreign currency account in gazprombank, then the funds are converted in rubles to the exchange bridge, returning to the bank, and only then they are transferred to the supplier. the european commission recognized that in fact. such an option would not be a violation of the sanctions anymore. on a record in underground

storages, they are now 76% full, which is twice as much as in april last year. you could have relatively warm weather during the heating season and the active use of coal polish officials say they have already reduced their dependence on russian raw materials since october 1 last year. they received from russia about 6 billion cubic meters is 1.5 billion less than in the previous heating season. however, they were replaced not so much by western lng, but by the same russian gas, only more than a billion cubic meters of it were received by reverse from germany. and today, when warsaw has refused russian gas, the application is more for reverse through the gas pipeline. yamal europe has grown five times also in poland is starting to build a floor terminal for liquefied natural gas in gdansk in addition, the country is betting on the baltic pipe project, it will redirect through the building part of the gas from the norwegian pipeline, however.

the president of poland, andrzej duda , believes that polish firms will be able to receive compensation from russia with the help of lawyers. our household consumers will not feel it. stopping gas supplies from russia, we will solve this problem within the framework of european cooperation. polish companies will seek compensation from russia for damages for violation of contractual obligations on gas supplies own production in poland is small, about 6 million cubic meters per day the russian ambassador in warsaw is confident that there is no alternative to russian gas. for the foreseeable future of this year, there are no real alternatives for full compensation of russian gas. it will be the same russian gas, only that they will receive from germany through the same yamal gas pipeline only in reverse mode, so

you can, uh, cheerfully declare to the public that they ca n’t do anything without russian gas in practice. it will be the same russian gas. bulgaria also opposed the new payment scheme sofia said that she did not plan to renew the contract, which ends on december 31, according to which the country received about 3 billion cubic meters a year, they expect the eu to provide an alternative to russian gas, gazprom even returned sofia money for fuel. they were in dollars and the country did not open an account for payments in rubles. spiral on gazprom's gas, the termination of gas supplies by gazprom is a gross violation of the relevant agreement and blackmail to implement a plan to pay for gas through rubles through third parties, which does not guarantee either the supply or the preservation of bulgarian money, bulgaria complies with all agreements with gazprom. including the transit agreement, unilateral arm-twisting actions are unacceptable in the whole european situation. such is

the underground gas storage filled less than 30%. and earlier, the european commission proposed to introduce the injection rate in the urban settlement by the first of november. they should be 80% gas in subsequent years. already 90, meanwhile. greece is holding a meeting on energy. this became known immediately after the decision according to bloomberg, at least 10 european companies that buy russian fuel have already opened accounts for paying gas in rubles, experts are confident that a complete rejection of our fuel even by two countries will negatively affect the economy of the entire europe after all, they will pull over part of the raw materials from neighboring countries and the rise in energy prices will continue thank you alexander alexander suvorova spoke about the possible economic consequences suspension of russian gas supplies to poland and

bulgaria, but now we will continue to discuss the gas issue with vyacheslav mishchenko, head of the center for analysis of strategy and technologies for the development of the fuel and energy complex of the gubkin university of oil and gas hello vyacheslav mikhailovich we will return to our guest a little later. now let's move on to other topics. vladimir putin approved a list of instructions following the meeting on the development of the agro-industrial fishery complex. vladimir putin instructed the government to take measures to maintain stable prices on the wholesale market for agricultural products, raw materials and food, and to allocate 153 billion rubles. to increase subsidies to banks and web as part of concessional lending to pcs, the development strategy of pcs should include measures to organize import substitution of critical types of agricultural agricultural products, as well as cancel import duties on agricultural equipment that has no

analogues in russia, including a number of combines and machines for gardening, restrictions on row export fertilizers from our country should be extended, at least until the end of the summer, and until june 1, it is necessary to think over an insurance mechanism for the transportation of agricultural products, food and fertilizers by sea under sanctions. and now we again have the opportunity to contact the head of the center for analysis of strategy and technology for the development of the fuel energy complex of the gubkin university of oil and gas vyacheslav mishchenko hello vyacheslav mikhailovich hear me, and the application for the reversal of gases to poland from germany via the gas pipeline yamal europe today has already grown five times about this, as evidenced now by the data of the german aggregator. this became known immediately after gazprom suspended gas supplies to bulgaria poland from your point of view. how much can the price of gas rise? now for the polish consumer , and in what time period will warsaw be able to completely abandon

the purchase of russian fuel, in this case already reverse. it is difficult to say how much the domestic consumer will now pay unambiguously, it will grow, and we have seen that in previous seasons, the heating price in general on the european market went off scale to my inconceivable limits, respectively, it will only grow on this psychological note, since everyone expects a shutdown, obviously other shutdowns may follow. it is also not clear how germany will behave, since the german authorities have unequivocally stated that they are not going to follow the new payment scheme in rubles, and therefore i can be heard. yes, yes, you can hear perfectly, and they are not going to, and accordingly, here. uh, as far as germany will be able to designate, as it were, and close this gap, uh, supplies. e from russia it is not yet clear, since germany itself may find itself in a situation where it will have to, well, in fact,

look for other sources of supplies. but now the gas storage facility in poland is 76 percent full. this is a record volume from your point of view. how much more will these reserves last and it turns out that they were preparing in advance for the refusal of gas, how long they filled these storage facilities to such record levels. well poland is what i want notice here that the two countries that are mentioned in bulgaria poland they are transit countries, so first of all, of course they play a role. uh, from the point of view of gas supplies, russian gas to other adjacent markets, therefore, when there is transit, if supplies, in fact, to the polish bulgarian market there. now we are talking about the fact that poland, obviously preparing for this demarche, refuses to participate in the new scheme, that is, they refuse to pay to gazprombank accounts in rubles, so obviously the authorities were more prepared for this scenario and created this particular

reserve. but i want to say that gas storages are not rubber, that is, it is impossible to foresee such a long period of such a confrontation, how the market will behave and, in fact, by the next relative season. it will be necessary to prepare in the summer. that is, in september you have a depository. must be to be replenished by regular. e the volume of gas that i need. ours are there for the passage of the autumn-winter heating season. that's what will happen next, that is, it is now obvious in the summer season. uh, the gas storage can still save the situation and balance it. yes to soften, as it were, this crisis, but uh further there over the next few months. uh, drive, there really could be more serious energy crises. and what will bulgaria do in this situation, as far as sofia’s gas reserves can be enough and, where will it now take energy, bulgaria and now the finant shield times reports that the share of russian gas in bulgaria’s imports is about

75%, is it possible to completely replace russian gas in the economy of bulgaria yes no, of course, it is impossible to completely replace it, if it could be replaced, but it would have been replaced long ago, bulgaria has always depended historically, but critically depended on russian gas supplies, therefore why do the bulgarian authorities behave like this . er, well, can only be explained by external pressure, because. eh, the situation is completely contrary to sound economic logic and, accordingly, the interest of the bulgarian economy. that is, bulgaria for now. now there is no alternative. yes historically never had. it has no reception terminals, no alternative, uh, gas turbine pipeline routes, so, uh, there is a critical dependency. there are more than 70 more than 75% it is, of course, nothing good, the bulgarian economy, and in general, the situation in the country is not a promise. about 10 european states have already

declared that they are ready to pay for russian gas in rubles from your point of view. how many european states can take an alternative route to follow the example of poland and bulgaria and now completely abandon deliveries of russian gas but if by the word alternative route we mean simply refusing to pay for participation in the scheme for paying e-payments to gazprombank accounts, then this is not an alternative route. uh, there would be a materative route if they offered their own option or if they had a really fuel alternative. e, as there, let's say reserve capacity or use nuclear energy there, or a there may be additional alternative sources of gas supplies, but the countries of eastern central europe of such an alternative, physically they don't have a good thing even more there is, uh, lng receiving terminal, which they can now use in some specific emergency mode. again,

you have to look. how much is it. where will the gas come from and how much will it increase prices in the domestic market of europe, but in general, and in poland, but in general, of course, this situation creates additional tension for everything. uh, the eu space because, as we see even on the news that the gas has stopped flowing. in the direction of poland and not transit own deliveries to poland and to prices in bulgaria have already reached a certain psychological level, and they will only grow, so he no longer has such a serious alternative not in bulgaria. yes, in principle, other eu countries, uh, sort of, i think that it will be almost impossible to replace supplies from russia at once. vyacheslav mikhailovich thank you for the interview, but i remind you that we spoke live with the head of the center for analysis of strategy, technology development tag of the gubkin university of oil and gas vyacheslav mishchenko now the situation in
