Russia's use of outdated vessels to build its controversial Nord Stream 2 pipeline could lead to a catastrophe, according to a report by Ukraine's Foreign Intelligence Service published on April 2.

Russia is forced to use its decaying fleet because economic sanctions against the project discouraged other participants. This creates an ecological disaster risk, the intelligence service stated. 'The use of technologically obsolete vessels and equipment in the future increases the likelihood of a man-made disaster with environmental consequences on a regional scale at any peak load," the report reads.

  • US Tells Greece to Reject Moscow’
    US Tells Greece To Reject Moscow’s Pipeline Proposal Marking Return To Cold War Politics By Zero Hedge Region: Europe, Russia and FSU, USA Global Research, May 10, 2015 Theme: Global Economy, Oil and Energy Zero Hedge Over the course of Greece’s painful and protracted negotiations with European creditors, Athens has sought, at various times when a deal seems to be slipping away, to play the Russian pivot card. What began as a series of diplomatic overtures between the Tsipras government and Moscow quickly turned more serious once rumors began to swirl around Greece’s potential participation in Russia’s Turkish Stream pipeline which, as a reminder, will allow Russia to bypass Bulgaria by piping gas through Turkey, then through Greece, Serbia, and Hungary straight to the Austrian central hub. In short order, it leaked that Moscow was set to advance Greece $5 billion against the future potential profits from the pipeline, a payment which we characterized as a get-out-of-Troika- jail free card and although conflicting reports emerged thereafter regarding just how soon money would actually be flowing from Moscow to Athens, discussions around the pipeline continued to move forward when Gazprom chief Alexei Millervisited Greece late last month to discuss “current energy issues of interest.” That visit proved more than Europe could bear, and so the European Commission promptly filed antitrust charges against the Russian gas giant in an absurdly transparent attempt to punish the Kremlin for interfering in negotiations between the EU and its Aegean debt serf. Now with negotiations between Athens and creditors still fraught with uncertainty, and with the IMF now reportedly at odds with the rest of the Troika over appropriate bailout terms, another interested party is stepping into the melee because, as NY Times reports, fresh off a humiliating political defeat at the hands of China’s Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank, Washington is in no mood to see the birthplace of Western civilization co-opted by a Russian natural gas firm.

    12 POWERING THE US–INDIA ENERGY RELATIONSHIP Nisha Biswal S–India energy cooperation is positioned to be one of the fastest growing areas of the strategic and commercial Urelationship over the next twenty years. While the US is still listed as the fastest oil consuming nation in the world and India works fiercely to build out its capacity to meet its still growing domestic demands, both countries are pursuing all-of-the-above energy strategies that are focused on increasing energy access and energy security both domestically and abroad. "is includes pursuing diversification of energy resources, supporting advancement of energy technology in relation to both renewable and non-renewable sources, and increasing the focus on the Indo-Pacific region as a hub for trade. Energy cooperation has long played an important role in the bilateral relationship, touching nearly all aspects of the broader strategic partnership. Since 2005, the US and India have engaged in a productive bilateral energy dialogue and over the past decade that dialogue has expanded to include multiple government agencies, national labs, universities and other stakeholders. Year after year, the portfolio of partnerships and programmes to increase 207 935_Energizing India with number.indd 207 1/30/2019 12:33:14 PM ENERGIZING INDIA our energy cooperation grew to include research and development programmes in building efficiency, joint partnerships between the US and India-based companies in the oil and gas industry, applications and development of retrofitting technology for the power sector, new technology and storage solutions for renewable energy, resource management technology to bolster sustainable growth, clean coal investment, civil nuclear cooperation and programmes in multilateral fora such as Mission Innovation and the Clean Energy Ministerial.

  • Battle Over Putin's Pipeline Continues in Washington DC
    Received by NSD/FARA Registration Unit 05/02/2021 4:17:46 PM MON, APR 26, 2021 Battle over Putin’s pipeline continues in Washington DC UkraineAlert by Diane Francis European Union Geopolitics & Energy Security Russia United States and Canada M ' r f l i u Pipes for the construction of Nord Stream 2 stored at Mukran Port in Germany. (Stefan Sauer/dpa via REUTERS) The battle continues to determine US policy towards Russia’s strategically important Nord Stream 2 pipeline. America has led calls for the pipeline to be scrapped, but the incoming Biden administration has been slow to implement agreed sanctions measures. The outcome of this policy struggle in Washington DC is set to determine the fate of Vladimir Putin’s pet energy project. In December 2020, then US President Donald Trump and Congress approved additional measures sanctions to stop construction of Putin’s USD 11 billion pipeline, a project connecting Russia and Germany across the Baltic Sea that newly elected US President Joe Biden had previously branded as a “bad deal for Europe.” Just five days after Biden’s inauguration, Russia’s Gazprom defied these impending US sanctions by resuming work on the pipeline in waters off Denmark. Expert estimates currently suggest the pipeline is on track for completion by June 2021. Throughout the winter months, Germany and Russia have engaged in fierce lobbying in the US capital. These efforts are credited with helping to delay the implementation of sanctions, leading to speculation that the Biden administration may be softening its position on Nord Stream 2. Opponents of the project warn that time is critical because once the Russians finish construction of the pipeline, the battle will shift to the German authorities as to whether to connect it or not.

  • Naftogaz Reforms in Danger Ukrainealert by Diane Francis
    Received by NSD/FARA Registration Unit 12/01/2020 12:59:06 PM TUE, DEC 1, 2020 Naftogaz reforms in danger UkraineAlert by Diane Francis Energy Markets & Governance Geopolitics & Energy Security Oil and Gas Russia Ukraine ¥ Naftogaz CEO Andriy Kobolyev says reforms at the Ukrainian energy giant are under attack. (REUTERS/Valentyn Ogirenko) Energy giant Naftogaz is the corporate governance poster child among Ukraine’s many state-owned enterprises. Since 2014, it has transitioned from fraud-riddled drain on government finances to a profitable business model complete with good governance. Along the way, Naftogaz also extricated itself from the Russian and Ukrainian oligarchs who used it to enrich themselves, and signed an important gas transit contract with Gazprom after winning billions of dollars in court from the Russian company. “Naftogaz is a clean corporation. We have cleaned up corruption,” says Naftogaz CEO Andriy Kobolyev. “Five years ago, the Naftogaz deficit was USD 6.5 billion, which came out of the Ukrainian budget. Our contribution now represents 20 percent of total government revenues. We set up an independent Supervisory Board to undertake corporate governance reform, which is what the IMF, EBRD, and OECD asked for. We are audited by Deloitte and KPMG.” Despite these stellar achievements, or perhaps because of them, Naftogaz is now a major target. Along with the country’s other anti-corruption success stories, it is coming under pressure from malevolent forces intent on recapturing state enterprises and turning back the clock. In recent months, attempts by Ukrainian judges, government officials, and politicians to unravel reforms and harass reformers have captured headlines.
