60 monuments of the soviet era, british shell is going to wait for the termination of the contract with the new russian operator, sakhalin-2, and it was necessary to compensate for losses in court. kommersant writes about this on japanese mitsui and mitsubishi . they receive lng at a price several times lower than spot prices leila nazarova will tell details a contract with an operator from sakhalin 2 meanwhile, this is the largest energy project. under a long-term contract with russia, the company receives 1 million tons of lng per year; it is completed in 2028. well , the british company, at the end of february, announced the withdrawal of projects jointly with gazprom and related companies, and in april, sewed began to withdraw from the oil and gas project with a crankshaft, let me remind you that the company had already sold lukoil to a network of gas stations and a lubricants plant under the door against this background,

losses shell in the first quarter has already amounted to almost four billion dollars kommersant believes that the british company in the sakhalin 2 story will play for time until the russian side itself terminates the long-term contract. after that, he intends to file a claim for damages, based on a five-fold difference between the cost of sakhalin lng and the current price for sco. market, but according to experts, it is unlikely that such a move will succeed. here is quite interesting in terms of legal grounds. in general, shell says that they will even damage, it seems, how to recover, but again it is not clear who they formally have an agreement with sakhalin energy, whose company was registered in bermuda in russia, now a new operator for sakhalin 2 is being created for this project sakhalin energy, which is registered in yuzhno-sakhalinsk, and the contract left, and here are a hundred foreign structures, therefore, if you do nothing, then please go to that foreign structure and collect some

money, but it, as it were, generally remains a shell company - this is the second largest lng projects in russia, within the framework of which two birthplaces are being developed in the northeast of sakhalin, 6fa. an lng plant with a capacity of about 10 million tons per year is also operating. let me remind you that vladimir putin on june 30 signed a decree according to which the operator sakhalin energy should be replaced by a russian legal entity, sakhalin energy, the project shareholders, among which gazprom was mitsui and mitsubishi, have the opportunity to receive the company until september 4 the same share as in sakhalin energy if the foreign shareholder does not show such a desire, his share will be sold at auction in august. sakhalin energy started work and received registration in yuzhno-sakhalinsk, the new operator offered foreign buyers to renegotiate all long-term contracts on the same terms . moreover, according to bloomberg, it is now possible to pay in rubles and yen pounds sterling if

payments are in dollars. russian banks, such as gazprombank, previously reported that sakhalin energy had already canceled gas supplies, according to at least one client with north asia and for delays in re-signing contracts, unlike shell, mitsui and mitsubishi will retain their shares . almost a quarter in sakhalin-2 capital we know that mitsubishi and mitsui have formally agreed to participate, now the companies will be able to notify the russian side of their decision, then the russian government must decide whether to approve it or not. we intend intently monitor the situation and take all measures for stable supply. st. petersburg, go to two in addition to the shell agreement, 12 long-term contracts among the company's buyers from korea and taiwan, as well as 8 japanese ones, which in general account for 5 million tons of lng per year, as they talked to the media, none of them

expressed a desire to refuse deliveries . japanese consumption is about 10% to 10%. and japanese lng, respectively, uh, comes from this project. we must not forget its logistics transport, and the fact that these places of birth already explored running. accordingly, this is de facto. guaranteed volumes, of course, are more profitable for companies to extend contracts at low prices, which, in turn, are tied to oil , experts explain by their calculations - this is about $ 1,000 per 1,000 cubic meters. while lng prices are rising not only in europe according to nickels in the asian spot market. they have already tripled compared to last year, and winter is coming and asian companies need to replenish their stocks. the eurasian economic union proves its efficiency and stability in the current difficult situation of the country in it, members of which respond in a coordinated manner to the challenges of the time, not allowing the destruction of their economies, mikhail mishustin said this at a meeting

of the eu intergovernmental council, its participants gathered in kyrgyzstan to , among other things, discuss the formation of a common gas market and development of integration transport projects. mishustin, in addition to the general meeting of the rules, negotiations with the prime minister of kyrgyzstan akylbek zhaparov, the conversation was on bilateral relations moscow bishkek uh, the creation of the removal of all restrictions on passenger traffic between our countries, including air traffic by road transport, thanks to the adoption of this decision, a large flow is recorded in the current summer season, then cruelly from russia ahead is 14 direct flights a week from russian cities. republic also we are very pleased that the bratsk humanitarian sphere is also called successfully our cooperation in russia over 8,000 kyrgyz students study, including 5,000 at the expense of

practices created in our country over the past few years and adapted to the new socio-economic conditions. the signaling of the hot economic kolizan region can explain, uh, to the peasants and farmers from the prokhodsky, in my opinion skadovsky district, then how what needs to be done in order to receive a variety of subsidies at the expense of funds, well, at the expense of the budget of the russian state in stages, that is, there are no people, in general, understanding, and everyone, well, comes almost with burning eyes. petrat is there with pens and they say that you teach how seriously it helps, of course, crimea helps agricultural machinery and somewhere some operational issues are resolved not with the fact that the region is nearby. the samara region,

the first in russia, has officially secured the patronage of the city in tayenergy, it helps the snow restore the economy, infrastructure, and develop the social sphere. we, in accordance with those applications that we received to talk with people, formed a sensitive plan, 76 of the most important objects of social engineering transport infrastructure were included in the plan, according to which we are consistently working today. this, of course, is also educational schools, a children's youth sports school, by the way, which we will complete a major overhaul in the coming days, and on september 8, on republic day, we will hold an open tournament of the dpr there in wrestling we will definitely do this it will be an important symbol of such a new youth sports school and peaceful life in

snezhnoe canadian mead reported that five siemens units are still in montreal and the country is ready to transfer them to germany. repairs to canada, which at first refused to return them, but then agreed to deliver them to germany, while today the exchange prices for gas in europe for the first time since march broke through the mark of 3,200 dollars per 1,000 cubic meters. now they are in the region of $ 3,100, the main reason is the imminent stoppage of supplies via nord stream, on august 31, the gas pipeline plans to stop servicing for several days. the postponement of the launch of lng and the american free port terminal also affects the cost of gas. as part of the vostok oil project, the 80 km long pipe is capable of pumping more than 2 billion cubic meters

of fuel per year. now rosneft is testing the gas transmission system. let me remind you of the project. vostok coil includes 13 oil and gas fields in the north of the krasnoyarsk territory, and in yamal, the reserves of the suzunskoye field are estimated at 39 billion cubic meters by cyber-scammers, in the second quarter they stole 2 billion 800 million rubles from russian accounts. in total, more than 210,000 crashes were committed, the central bank reports this, with damage. compared with decreased by 5.5% last year. the central bank blocked more than 117,000 phone numbers from which the attackers called. this is 10 times more than last year. this was the news of the economy in short. the zone of the special military operation is sent a separate volunteer detachment from the terek cossack army a group of volunteers consists of representatives of all, uh, territories of the terek army of the krasnodar territory of dagestan, north ossetia and other regions

of the north caucasus, uh, all fighters, as reported already passed military training and in the near future to join the troops of the units on the front line a in the territory of the donetsk people's republic and the liberated regions of ukraine we expect to learn all the details from the ataman of the terek cossack army. italy kuznetsova he goes directly to the studio vitaly vladimirovich hello tell us about the composition of the detachment. how many people are in it? on what basis did he recruit? good afternoon show more than 200 cossacks. it was created, of course, from the majority of the cossacks. these are the officers reserve cossacks who have combat experience passed. the interests of the motherland were defended in their own way in various local conflicts. today we are united. we are with us today and registered cossacks and not registries. we are together we

while the specific task is not indicated, this will happen later. i want to say one thing we are ready always as it will be historically, like our great-grandfathers and now to protect the civilians of donbass to protect people who need our help and by this we have always proved and will prove in word and deed that the cossacks are the strength of the cossacks today, fulfilling their fighting house. i would like to say that today only the terek cossacks are in the zone right now, more than 500 cossacks are carrying out their state military house on a special military operation and now, in addition to those cossacks who are in the near future, they are coming cossack batteries. vitaly vladimirovich , a volunteer detachment, as reported, is now being formed in many regions of the country. in general, how do you feel about this practice. i think this is

absolutely true and volunteers one word volunteers volunteer to protect the civilians of donbass and money the territory of ukraine and as a rule, these are people who understand what it is these people have combat experience and now everyone understands that these people have already been trained by these people have shown themselves and are now showing how many cossacks, therefore, i i think that the result is not forced. vitaly vladimirovich thank you for your comments, i remind you, we talked about the satanist of the terek cossack army, the italian kuznetsov. on other topics, city group has officially announced the phase-out of the retail business in russia, the process will be launched as early as this quarter over the past few months. the city considered a large number of options for selling its russian business. what decision was made in the end will tell our correspondent dmitry voron he joins to the air dmitry greetings and what will this process look like and what will the clients expect? yes, yuri
