Era of cheap Russian gas for EU ends as transit across Ukraine stops | BBC News

[@RandleBeckford]

Who needs cheap Russian gas, when you can get expensive Russian gas from third parties.

[@lepetitroquet9410]

You can't. Russia doesn't have the infrastructure and facilities to chip all that gas to other buyers. Even the power of Siberia 2 project (which China finally kind of agreed to support) would move 45 bcm, while the european market was 150 bcm. And power of Siberia will take years to be built, they haven't even started working on it.

Lets face the Facts. Russia sells it Gas to Qatar. Who then Export it to the EU in Liquid Form at vastly increased prices. Along with India, China, Turkey and any Country that trades with Russia. Ukraine used to make a lot of Money off those Gas Pipelines. And what i am lead to believe is they also had Free Access to the Gas at No Charge. EU tried to broker a Deal for Ukraine to keep the Gas Flowing via Ukraine. But Russia said it was Out of Date and would use the New Nord Stream 1 and 2 pipelines instead. So we can all look forward to Higher Energy Costs as Gas Prices Increase.

[@ОльгаЮрс]

The reason for building Nord Stream is not only that the Ukrainian pipeline, built back in the distant USSR, is outdated, but also that Gazprom had constant problems with the Ukrainian side due to gas prices, transit prices, unauthorized gas withdrawals from the pipeline... The Russians were simply tired of all this fuss and endless disputes, so a decision was made to build new pipelines directly to the EU.
