Yeah let’s fund their re-armament so they can invade us sooner…

For pragmatic reasons, you know, spending money in Russia doesn’t mean feeding the Russian people, but Putin and his successor. However, cheap energy and cheap fuel keep voters happy.

What is the point in speculating about this right now? Hungary never stopped buying Russian gas even during the war.

“…after the war, the entire EU will return to buying Russian gas…” Good thing we stopped buying it. Oh, wait:

He’s just defending Hungarys own dependence on ruzzki oil and gas (inherited from Orban and not his fault). No one knows what a post-war ruzzia looks like, so statements like this are irrelevant.

Well, Russia will need the money to pay Ukraine for damages.

Definitely. The war is still ongoing and yet the UK are already unwinding sanctions.

We don’t even know if there will be a Russia after the war, hold your horses

Hungary wants ru drones in their airspace it seems

i think they probably will. I mean we trade with Germany now and japan
Why would this be any different?

Germany will try, and there will be massive opposition

By saying so, he normalizes that.

I shouldn’t be that hard to understand.

Didn’t UK just lessen sanctions on Russian gas?
Baked4skin on
And when Russia starts another war with that money, I hope the countries directly funding them are invaded and I will feel very little sympathy.

That’s… The point of sanctions? That if you stop being naughty you come back at the grown ups table?
thethirdtree on
Yes, we should buy gas from the Ukraine-controlled parts of ex-russia after the war.

Russia and who’s hydrocrackers?

He is right if politicians don’t care that big corporations give russia big money for resources, projects and enable em to rearm and attack again.
If the Politicians are sound in body and mind should never give the russians any 2nd look and just wall em off until they get rid emselves of their dictorship media brainwashing regime.
Otherwise the risk is too great that they start shit again.

Economic necessity.

Why do you think every Russian asset vouches against solar, wind, and nuclear power?
Russia needs their sweet revenue so it’s absolutely forbidden that Europe becomes self sufficient using clean power.
SmegmaWarrior0815 on
Probably. But it also rapidly increased the rate of going for renewable. Sooner or later we won’t need any more gas and oil, but that takes time. A lot of time.
xunreelx on
This is correct, when the Russian Federation no longer exists there will still be oil under the ground there.

In a few million years there will be beaucoup Russian oil underground in Ukraine from all the Russians that died there.

If Putin goes and is replaced by someone better, maybe, otherwise no.

Will Russia still have the infrastructure to sell gas?
Frexxia on
Even if they will it’s orders of magnitude better than buying it while the war is actively going on.

Nope.

Gas is gas, outside of sanctions the world need x amount and it will get bought regardless of source. It’s not rocket science, oil is a commodity.

Mascovy has NO own oil rigs, cap! They’re all in Siberia which will become either independent or Chinese.

I should hope that it only happens after Putin’s successor shows major changes for the better.
> According to the regulation, importing Russian pipeline gas and LNG into the EU will be prohibited. The ban will start to apply six weeks after the regulation enters into force. Existing contracts will have a transition period. This stepwise approach will limit the impact on prices and markets. A full ban will take effect for LNG imports from the beginning of 2027 and for pipeline gas imports from autumn 2027.

I believe him. Look at how most of the EU still bending down to the US after almost going to war with them over Greenland.

There wont be any gas to buy. Lol

Probably they will.
– will you buy russian gas after war ends?
– yes
– how much would you pay for it?
– 5.50 UAH per cubic meter
If we do go back then there’s no hope for us.
