Rafael Grosssey, the head of the IAEA, during the visit to the Zaporizhzhya NPP (photo: Anna Voitenko / Reuters) NV Business has chosen the most important news, the most interesting statements and demonstration figures of the passing week. Zaporizhzhya Armageddon Station. Almost from the beginning of the week, the Missa IAEA tried to get to the Zaporozhye NPP and only on September 1 it reached the goal.

What did international experts see? That the physical integrity of the NPP has been repeatedly broken. What will they do next? They will leave inspectors at the station, prepare a report for the UN Security Council by September 6. Could it be expected from an international organization related to its actions and regulations of something more? The answer is open. Video Day, at the same time, works one or two power units. On September 1, block No.

5 was disconnected through mortar shelling, and on September 2 it was launched. And no one in Gazprom did not doubt. Stopping the north stream for preventive work on August 31, Gazprom almost immediately announced that the highway was stopped for a long time, it is not known at all. The likelihood of such events more than a month ago was warned by Germany's Vice-Chancellor Robert Gabec, so not to say that the Russian monopolist surprised Europe.

Gazprom's arguments are a little funny: there is a leakage of grease due to a malfunction of Siemens production units. And they can only be repaired in Canada - but in Canada, sanctions are forbidden. In Siemens, Russian lies about the inability to restore the work of the North Stream have already been exposed. The White House stated that the Russian Federation banally blackmailing Europe. However, Gazprom was late - the EU managed to create the minimum necessary gas reserves for the winter.

For how much we want, for so much we buy. The countries of the Great Seven have confirmed the intention to set the ceiling of prices for Russian oil. Restrictions can come into force on December 5, what will be the price ceiling - it is not yet clear. G7 try to reach two goals at the same time: the oil market is not to be killed and the income aggressor is deprived. In the Russian Federation, we will react hysterically: you will introduce a price ceiling, we will not sell at all.

Meanwhile, the European Commission is already discussing gas prices. Chinese sword in the back. The world's largest payment system has restricted work with sub -Russian banks. In particular, UnionPay has introduced a ban on servicing its cards issued by foreign banks in POS terminals. This unionPay decision could be made because of the risk of secondary sanctions, explained knowledge of sources.

How would you think how the Russian Federation reacts to such "friendly" behavior of Chinese partners? He already lays the third gas pipeline to the PRC, even though he has not yet worked even the second (Siberia-2 force). The Corridor works. In August, Ukraine has exported a record from the beginning of full -scale aggression of the Russian Federation of 4. 6 million tons of agro -industrial complex. Compared to July, growth was 53%.

This volume is almost equal to the pre-war performance-but in order to sell the residues of the harvest-2021 and a new harvest of 2022, Ukraine needs to export at least 6 million tons of cereals, oilseeds and vegetable oil per month. He was heavier than air. The chairman of the board of directors of one of the largest Russian companies Lukoil Ravil Maganov fell out of the hospital window and died. It may have been suicide. Maganov - Lukoil's old -timers, has worked for the company since 1991.

His death has replenished a number of mysterious deaths of oil and gas oligarchs of the Russian Federation - more about it here. Although something is good. Naftogaz was able to negotiate one of three payments for two years. The loan of 600 million euros had to be extinguished in 2024-now it is possible in 2026. The amount of deferred interest payments will be EUR 90 million. At the same time, there are two more payments that Naftogaz could not agree.

Critical with the maturity in July 2022 ($ 335 million) and with a maturity in November 2026 ($ 500 million). The figures of the week are 80% filled with gas PSG of Europe by September 1 - the minimum level required for painless passing of the heating season. The gas blackmail of the Russian Federation lost its meaning. The volume of money transfers from abroad to Ukraine for seven months of 2022 decreased by 5. 7%.

$ 444 will be the average price of a 5G smartphone in 2026, now it is approximately equal to $ 616 - IDC research and forecast. Quotes of the Week "I consider the right limiting prices for Russian gas in Europe and all over the world," - Ursula von Der Lyen, the head of the European Commission. "You need to wait for the winter and see if Putin will take the last step in the abyss. I can't predict this person's actions - it's very difficult.

But if he does, it will be a point in the history of Gazprom as a gas supplier in Europe. I think I do not exaggerate. If Putin dares to attack Europe directly this winter and block the supply of gas, it will mean that Gazprom is actually an end, ”-Andrey Kobolev, ex-head of Naftogaz of Ukraine. “No private school in Ukraine will have as many children this year as before the war. I keep in touch with my colleagues, with partners from different cities.
