Awaiting the end of the war: Germany companies are ready to restore the purchase of Russian gas - Bloomberg

Therefore, peace is important for entrepreneurs so that they can again receive cheap Gazprom fuel. Bloomberg told about the situation in Germany. The publication made the position of Christian Gunter, director of the Infraleuna GmbHM chemical plant from Leun in Eastern Germany in Saxony-Angalt. According to him, the only way to revive the work of the chemical industry is to make cheap gas of the Russian Federation.

In this case, the country will improve the economic situation and there will be funds for the restoration of Ukraine after the war, he said. "If peace is reached, we, of course, must ensure the elimination of other losses caused by this conflict," Gunter said. The article presents an infographic of gas supply to Europe. The diagram shows that in the first quarter of 2022 the Russians covered more than a third of needs. The lowest level was recorded in the second quarter of 2023 - 14%.

After this, the flow of Russian blue fuel increased and in the third quarter of 2024 reached 20%. The article explained that some policies and analysts would like to restore the work of the Nord Stream gas pipelines. Journalists explained that this position has the Minister of Economy of Saxony-Angalt and a member of the CDU/CSU Party/CSU Sven Schulze, a researcher at the Oxford Institute of Energy Research Jonathan Stern, a researcher at the Columbian University of Global Energy Policy.

At the same time, various arguments in favor of Russian gas are made: from reducing prices for products to the appearance of liquefied gas on the market. Bloomberg also made the position of the Ministry of Economy of Germany. According to the ministry spokesman, it is important for the country to keep independence from Russian gas, as it is a security issue. However, the journalists specified that they did not wait for a direct answer.

"Independence from Russian gas is of strategic importance to the German government in terms of security policy and is a major priority," the Ministry's comment. It should be noted that after the invasion of the Russian Federation in Ukraine, European countries minimized the supply of Russian gas, which today comes only through the branches of the Turkish flow. In November 2022, the German government nationalized the subsidiary of the Russian "Gazprom" Sefe Securing Energy for Europe GmbH.

Meanwhile, the Bundestag elections were won by the CDU/CSU Party, whose victory was brought not by the East, but by Germany. In one of his statements, the party leader Friedrich Merz promised that Taurus missiles would probably send Ukraine. We would like to remind you that on February 28, President Donald Trump and President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky should take place in the United States on the mineral agreement, which customizes security guarantees.
