PAccording to the head of Azerbaijan, the country has no goal to compete with Russia in the European gas market. The day before, he announced plans to double the volume of gas supplies to the European Union

Ilham Aliyev

Azerbaijan has never set out to compete with Russia in the European gas market and fulfills contracts in accordance with its obligations. This was stated by Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev in an interview with the Italian newspaper Il Sole 24 Ore.

“I want to note one important point: neither before nor now have we set out to compete with Russian gas in the European market. We have our own niche. We have concluded gas supply agreements for three European countries, that is, Italy, Greece and Bulgaria. There is also a need in other European countries (for Azerbaijani gas RBC), and we are now assessing this need,” he said.

By the end of 2021, Gazprom supplied 185.1 billion cubic meters of gas to non-CIS countries, of which about 155 billion cubic meters to the European Union and Turkey. Azerbaijan supplied about 8.2 billion cubic meters of gas to Europe in 2021.

The day before, during a speech at the forum in the Italian city of Cernobbio, Aliyev noted that Azerbaijan plans to double the volume of gas supplies to Europe. According to him, a month ago the EU and Azerbaijan signed a memorandum on strategic partnership in the energy sector, the next step should be political technical solutions, as well as investments.

“The capacity of TANAP is 16 billion cubic meters. We plan to increase it to 32 billion cubic meters. The capacity of the TAP is 10 billion cubic meters, currently it is operating at full capacity and we need to increase its capacity to at least 20 billion cubic meters,” the head of Azerbaijan said.

In mid-July, Aliyev and European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen signed a memorandum on energy cooperation in Baku. Among other things, the document referred to doubling the capacity of the Southern Gas Corridor. According to von der Leyen, the agreement will help compensate for interruptions in Russian gas supplies by 2027 and increase the security of supplies to Europe.

TANAP is part of the Southern Gas Corridor (SGC) project from Baku to the south of Italy. It consists of three parts: the Baku-Tbilisi-Erzurum South Caucasus gas pipeline running through Azerbaijan and Georgia to the border with Turkey, the Trans-Anatolian gas pipeline (TANAP) running through Turkey, and the Trans-Adriatic Gas Pipeline (TAP) passing through Greece, Albania and Italy. The cost of SGC was estimated at about $40 billion.

In July, Turkey, which is also a member of TANAP, called the pipeline an alternative to Russian gas supplies to the EU. At that time, the representative of the Turkish leader Ibrahim Kalyn said that Aliyev, in a conversation with his Turkish counterpart Recep Erdogan, called for “filling the gap” in the European gas market.

The European Union has imposed several packages of sanctions against Russia since the end of February, but they have not directly affected gas supplies. At the same time, the Russian Gazprom has been reducing the volume of pumping along the Nord Stream since mid-June due to the fact that the turbine of the German company Siemens, which was under repair in Canada, was not due to sanctionscould have been returned to Russia. On September 2, Gazprom completely stopped supplies via the Nord Stream. In Europe, Russia was accused of political reasons for stopping supplies, Moscow refers to technical problems.

PBavarian Prime Minister Zeder warned of falling living standards and a wave of bankruptcies in Germany. According to the Prime Minister of Bavaria, none of the foreign trips of German politicians to find an alternative to Russian gas was successful. He pointed out that the crisis threatens to drop the standard of living of the German population

Markus Zeder

Due to the energy crisis in Germany, there may be a drop in the standard of living of certain segments of the population and a wave of bankruptcies, Bavarian Prime Minister Markus Zeder said in an interview with Bild.

The politician pointed out that none of the foreign trips of Chancellor Olaf Scholz and the head of the Ministry of Economy Robert Habek, made in order to find an alternative to Russian gas, was successful, and the decision to extend the operation of the three remaining nuclear power plants in the country has not yet been made. “Since there is no effective package of measures to ease the burden [for citizens], there is a threat of a drop in the standard of living of entire segments of the population and a wave of bankruptcies for the middle class,” the Bavarian prime minister warned.

Commenting on Scholz’s statement that Germany is well prepared for winter, Zeder noted: “I do not know what this hope is based on.” “Citizens in any case, they have more confidence in the traffic light” (this is how the current ruling coalition consisting of the Social Democrats, “greens” and liberals is called in Germany. —RBC). There is not enough gas and energy. If the level of gas storage capacity just in the south of the country cannot be significantly increased, then there will not be enough [gas] for the winter,” the politician stated.

Scholz previously said that Russia has ceased to be a reliable gas supplier for the country. This happened against the background of a reduction in pumping through the Nord Stream-1 pipeline, which Gazprom explained with technical reasons and problems with the return of the Siemens turbine from repair. Berlin believes that the reduction in supplies is caused by political reasons, Moscow denies this.

On September 2, Gazprom announced its decision to completely stop Nord Stream due to technical reasons.

Germany has set a goal to bring the level of gas in the country’s GHG to 95% by November. As of August 26, the storage facilities were filled by 81.28%, according to data from the Federal Network Agency. At the same time, many German politicians expressed the opinion that Germany will not be able to abandon Russian gas in the coming years.

The energy crisis is growing in Europe against the background of rising gas prices. Some countries have introduced a special regime in the energy sector to save fuel for cold weather. In Germany, in particular, this fall and winter all public buildings will be heated to 19 degrees instead of 22.

Paccording to the deputy chairman of the Security Council, the West could not completely destroy Russia in 1991, so they continue their attempts. Medvedev pointed out that the collapse of a nuclear power would be a “chess game with death” for such states

Dmitry Medvedev

Western countries should not “play chess with death” and continue trying to collapse Russia, which remained an empire even after the fall of the USSR in 1991. Dmitry Medvedev, Deputy Chairman of the Russian Security Council, wrote about this in his Telegram, recalling the country’s nuclear potential.

In his message, Medvedev talks about the “instant collapse of state institutions” during the reign of Mikhail Gorbachev, which, according to him, caused the collapse of the state (on the day of publication of the post, a farewell ceremony with Gorbachev is taking place in Moscow, Medvedev attended it). “I remember well the time when in 1991 the acts of the central authorities practically ceased to be executed locally. I emphasize that the USSR still existed, in which all the elements of the federal government operated, although some of them were already shamefully renamed,” Medvedev pointed out.

At the same time, in his opinion, the “empire” in Russia, even despite the death of the USSR, continued to exist, so today the country is being pushed to disintegration by all means, including through the conflict in Ukraine. “These are the dirty dreams of Anglo-Saxon perverts who fall asleep with the secret thought of the collapse of our state. Thinking about how to chop us into pieces, tear us into small pieces,” the deputy chairman of the Security Council stressed.

Medvedev believes that the collapse of a nuclear power has become a “chess game with death” for such states. He also pointed out that Russia’s nuclear potential today is the best guarantee of the country’s preservation.

UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres has repeatedly opposed the fact that countries possessing nuclear weapons allow the possibility of war with their use. He called on world leaders to permanently abandon the possibility of using nuclear weapons.

A few days after the start of Russia’s military operation in Ukraine, President Vladimir Putin ordered the deterrence forces, which include strategic nuclear forces, to be put on special alert. At the same time, the President stressed that there can be no winners in a nuclear war, so it should never be unleashed.

The United States has repeatedly called for reducing the rhetoric about the likelihood of a nuclear war. US Secretary of State Anthony Blinken said that the country can use nuclear weapons “only under extraordinary circumstances, to protect the vital interests of the United States, allies and partners.”

Permanent members of the UN Security Council, including Russia, the United States, France, Great Britain and China, as well as India, Israel, the DPRK and Pakistan, possess nuclear weapons.

The mechanism for stopping nuclear weapons tests is enshrined in the Comprehensive Nuclear-Test-Ban Treaty (CTBT). On September 10, 1996, 185 countries signed it, but only 170 ratified it. The United States, China and Israel were among those who refused to sign.

In addition, the turnover of nuclear weapons is regulated by the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons (NPT) of March 5, 1970. According to it, States without nuclear weapons cannot produce and acquire them. Countries with nuclear potential have pledged not to help or encourage other States to produce or acquire it.

Paccording to agency sources, Biden intends to create a system in the United States that will allow the government to directly block investments in China’s technology sector

The administration of US President Joe Biden is considering taking measures that will limit American investment in Chinese technology companies. This is reported by Bloomberg with reference to sources.

According to one of the agency’s interlocutors, the president may sign a corresponding decree in the coming months. It is possible that separate steps will be taken in relation to the TikTok social network. The Ministry of Commerce, according to the source, may impose additional restrictions on chips used for artificial intelligence systems.

The White House is also discussing legislation with Congress that would require companies to disclose information about possible investments in certain sectors of the Chinese economy in advance, another source added. In addition, the creation of a system that will allow the government to block investments directly is being discussed, but a final decision has not been made at the moment.

Bloomberg notes that before that, the US had a more “soft” policy towards China’s technology sector. The exception was the semiconductor industry and companies such as Huawei and Semiconductor, which are accused of threatening US national security.

Last week, the US government informed the American company Nvidia about the introduction of new export licenses for China and Russia: now its products are prohibited from being sold to these countries. According to the new licensing requirements, restrictions apply to GPU-based computing accelerators (graphics processing unit, GPU) that meet certain performance criteria, in particular products of the A100 and H100 series. Such models are used to work with artificial intelligence and increase computing performance at times.

As stated in a document on the website of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), thus the U.S. authorities want to eliminate the risk that products covered by the export license may be used or redirected for “military end-use” in China and Russia.

Former US President Donald Trump signed a decree banning investments of American funds in Chinese companies in November 2020. Trump banned investments in 31 companies, in particular Huawei, China Mobile, China Telecom and China Railway Construction Corporation. In the last days of the presidency, Trump added nine more companies to the list, among which was Xiaomi.

Biden later expanded the list to 59 companies. The list included, among others, China National Nuclear Corporation (CNNC), China State Military Industrial Company (CASIC) and China Aerospace Science and Technology Corporation (CASC).

Withthe working group formed in August will have to identify the reasons for the inefficiency of the arms supply program to US allies and find ways to speed up this process, the newspaper writes

The Pentagon is seeking to accelerate the sale of American weapons to foreign allies, a working group was created for this in August, the Wall Street Journal writes.

According to a senior Defense Ministry official, the so-called Tiger group will have to identify the reasons for the inefficiency of the US arms supply program, as well as find ways to speed up this process.

The purpose of the publication calls the opportunity to better compete with China and replenish the stocks of allies who have transferred their weapons to Ukraine.

At the end of March, the New York Times wrote that the White House had formed a team to develop a response plan for Washington and its allies in case Moscow uses nuclear weapons. The sources of the publication then explained that we are talking about the so-called “Tiger” group. This has been the designation of emergency task forces in the US National Security Council for many years, the newspaper noted. According to the NYT, the previous staff was engaged in the development of scenarios for the introduction of tough sanctions, the buildup of troops in NATO countries and the arming of Ukrainian troops.

In mid-August, the Baltic and Eastern European countries asked the United States to increase defense production in order to speed up the execution of orders for weapons to deter Russia. In particular, Poland expects the promised American Patriot anti-aircraft missile systems, HIMARS MLRS, F-16 fighters and Abrams tanks, and Estonia wants to get HIMARS and Reaper attack drones.

PChina’s leadership: US plans to sell weapons to Taiwan threaten relations between Beijing and Washington, we are talking about three contracts, including for the supply of AGM-84L-1 Harpoon Block II missiles and AIM—9X Block II Sidewinder air-to-air missiles. China in response threatened drastic measures

The US State Department has approved the possible sale of arms and services to Taiwan for more than $ 1.1 billion, according to the website of the Defense Cooperation Agency (Pentagon structure).

We are talking about three contracts. The first, for $665.4 million, concerns the logistics of radar stations. The second, for $355 million, provides for the supply of AGM-84L-1 Harpoon Block II missiles. The Taipei Economic and Cultural Mission in the United States requested 60 AGM-84L-1 Harpoon Block II missiles and four academic missiles. Another contract, for $85.6 million, is related to the sale of AIM-9X Block II Sidewinder air-to-air missiles. Taipei asked for 100 AIM-9X Block II Sidewinder missiles and four guidance systems.

Earlier, the fact that the administration of President Joe Biden plans to ask Congress to approve the sale of weapons to Taiwan in the amount of about $ 1.1 billion, Politico wrote, citing three sources. In particular, it was about 60 AGM-84L Harpoon Block II missiles for $355 million, 100 AIM-9X Block II Sidewinder missiles for $85.6 million, as well as a contract for $655.4 million concerning radar stations. Sidewinder missiles will be equipped with American F-16 fighters.

CNN later reported that the Biden administration approved the sale of weapons to Taiwan. The representative of the State Department noted that the proposed contracts comply with the policy of the United States towards Taiwan.

China intends to take decisive measures in response to the US plans, Liu Pengyu, a spokesman for the Chinese embassy in Washington, told TASS when asked to comment on the Pentagon statement. “China will resolutely take legal and necessary countermeasures in light of the development of the situation,” he said. Liu Pengyu called on Washington to strictly observe the principle of “one China”, to stop the sale of weapons to Taiwan, as well as to immediately withdraw the relevant arms supplies to Taiwan, so as not to cause even greater damage to Sino-American relations, peace and stability in the Taiwan Strait.

At the end of August, Bloomberg reported that the government of Taiwan is going to increase the defense budget by almost 14% next year against the background of China’s military activity. A month earlier, the Taipei Times, citing sources, wrote that the authorities want to increase military spending by only 4.09%.

However, in early August, the Speaker of the US House of Representatives Nancy Pelosi visited Taiwan. This visit led to an aggravation of relations between Washington and Beijing (which considers the island its breakaway province). The Chinese side considered it an attempt to interfere in internal affairs.

Because of Pelosi’s visit, Beijing staged large-scale military exercises off the coast of Taiwan. The American ambassador to China, Nicholas Burns, accused the Chinese side of “creating an artificial crisis”.

After the speaker’s arrival, the island was visited by the fourth US representative in a month. Beijing has accused the United States of violating the “one China” principle.

TschThe leader of the SPD faction, Bernd Westphal, called for moving to more reasonable solutions in the XXI century against the background of “human suffering, destroyed infrastructure and falling welfare,” calling the SPD a “party of peace”

Several deputies from the Social Democratic Party of Germany (SPD; part of the ruling coalition along with the Greens and the Free Democratic Party of Germany (FDP) supported the initiative to end hostilities in Ukraine, Der Spiegel writes, citing participants in a closed meeting of the SPD faction in the Bundestag in Dresden.

“We need a peace initiative from the SPD,” said Bernd Westphal, a representative of the faction on economic policy. According to him, “all participants should recognize that there are no winners in the war.” “Human suffering, destroyed infrastructure and falling welfare for all should lead to smarter solutions in the 21st century,” Westphal believes. He called the SPD “the party of peace”, which “should give this momentum”.

Similar statements, the newspaper writes, were made by deputies Nina Sher and Ralph Stegner. The latter urged not to reduce everything to the supply of weapons, but to show diplomatic and political activity. Spiegel notes that no one raised objections at the meeting.

The head of the Bundestag Committee on International Affairs, Michael Roth, in turn, believes that the actions of Russian President Vladimir Putin are aimed at the “fears” of Europeans: to divide society and “delegitimize” support for Ukraine. The deputy warned against falling into “Putin’s trap”. “It’s not that there weren’t any diplomatic efforts,” he told Spiegel.

German Chancellor Olaf Scholz has previously stated that the settlement of the conflict in Ukraine is possible only if the cessation of hostilities and the withdrawal of Russian troops, and also ruled out recognition of the “imposed peace”. Peace in Ukraine, according to him, is possible only if “understanding, agreement” is reached. He also stressed that sanctions against Moscow will not be lifted until it concludes a “just peace” with Kiev.

Scholz promised Ukraine to provide assistance and maintain restrictions as long as it needs it.

In addition, the Chancellor has repeatedly spoken about the need to negotiate with Putin. Since the beginning of hostilities, they have called nine times.

According to the adviser to the head of the office of the President of Ukraine, Mikhail Podolyak, peace talks with Russia are currently unprofitable for either Kiev or the EU. Such initiatives will be a “death sentence” for Ukraine, he is convinced. In his opinion, the negotiation process will fix only a temporary truce, which Russia will consider a victory and will continue to claim to promote its expansionist policy.

In May, the Russian side said that Kiev had frozen the negotiations, and also decided to move away from the Istanbul agreements. Later, the Kremlin pointed out the lack of interest in the dialogue from both Kiev and Western countries. Moscow’s conditions will be “completely different” if Russian-Ukrainian negotiations resume, said presidential aide Yuri Ushakov.
