Energy Crisis in Europe: The Request for Free Gas and Russia’s Response
#europe #russia #news #geopolitics
Welcome to our channel!
The European Union has made an unprecedented request to Russia for free supplies of natural gas. After two years of sanctions policy and a complete rejection of Russian energy resources, Brussels is now citing humanitarian concerns and the upcoming heating season as justification.
In this episode, we take an in-depth look at:
⚡ How the energy crisis in Europe has developed over the past two years
⚡ Why the continent became dependent on expensive American energy supplies
⚡ What consequences European countries are facing due to gas shortages
⚡ How Russia responded to the request for free gas supplies
⚡ Where Russia has redirected its energy exports
⚡ What the future holds for European-Russian energy relations
We analyze the facts without excessive emotion, relying on official data and statements from political leaders. We examine the historical background of energy cooperation between Russia and Europe and explain the economic and geopolitical causes of the current crisis.
Special attention is given to the impact on ordinary European citizens: rising energy prices, shutdowns of industrial facilities, and growing social tension. We also highlight how the Russian economy has adapted successfully and how new energy routes toward Asia are being developed.
This material will be useful for anyone interested in international politics, energy security, and global economic processes. The information is presented in a clear and accessible format while maintaining analytical depth.

The EU should be required to repair the Nord Stream II pipeline and they should also be required to pay on advance for gas supplies. The EU is not a trusted trading party and should not expect preferred client status. All payments MUST be paid in advance using the BRICkS payment system
European always eye others wealth. Colonisation or stealing or thiefery or begging , they have no shame
🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭🇷🇺🇷🇺🇷🇺♥️🌹🕺💃🌄 I LOVE RUSSIAN LONG LIVE PRESIDENT PUTIN WE LOVES YOU FROM PHILIPPINES 🇷🇺🇷🇺🇷🇺🇵🇭🇷🇺🇷🇺🇵🇭❤❤💃🕺🌄🌹
The EU and European incompetent leaders have destroyed Europe. Europe is collapsing like a house of cards, like the loud but hollow vessel that it is. Europeans have been propagandized and brainwashed into believing Russia is their enemy, but it was the US who destroyed the cheap Russian energy provided by the Nord Stream gas pipeline forcing Europe's collapse into poverty. Affordable energy is the essential lifeblood of any country. Russia hasn't threatened or put a finger on western Europe but the US dealt it the real destructive death blow, and then offered to sell Europe American gas at exorbitant prices…Russia is not Europe's enemy, the US is…How can Europeans be so stupid?
Funny west 😅
Putin should impressed eu that Russia embraces one particular chinese philosophy, i.e., to be kind to the enemy is to be cruel to oneself! Russia certainly had had enough of their malicious destructions & sanctions of Russia oil, robbing Russian $320 billions, and conspiring to annihilate Russia! RUSSIA BELIEVES THAT ONLY THE FALL OF EU WILL RESTORE THEIR SENSES, UNDERSTAND THE IMPERATIVENESS OF COEXISTENCE, TREASURE FRIENDSHIPS, AND BRING ABOUT LONG TERM PEACE!😊
Serve them right.
I am pro Russia. Am I supposed to belive this ?
Finland is the biggest loser.
The US can assist the EU. The US will also double the unaffordable price.
😁 Brother, can you spare a dime?
An AI?
Ma mi domando se questi politicanti europei hanno un cervello normale ma secondo voi dopo tutte le angherie che hanno fatto alla Russia adesso vorrebbero il gas pure gratis ma nemmeno un imbecille direbbe una cosa del genere si drogano di sicuro questi dementi !
In UE the frost arrived, -12C everyday till middle of Jan, that is unexpected winter. Well they refused Russian gas because they love Ukraine so much.
Europe will suck it
Energy Crisis SAD,
Hahaha
I think the E U has got a cheek ,did there sanctions back fire 😂😂😂
what did they think in Bruxelles? that they can spit into the dish they were eating in and then ask for "humanitarian" (= free of charges) supplies (but not even paid ones hopefully). They've got what they deserve : NO GAS AT ALL and can keep sucking their idiotic sanctions (impacting by the way on the populations, not on Russia)
America can take the piss out of Britain, but they don't mess with Russia.
Russia don't give them nothing They get no gas they're killing Russians and they getting nothing to all sanctions are lifted all sanctions are lifted and they're out of Ukraine and then they will pay for the gas
Thx for analysis, Europa sanctions Russia what could possibly go wrong
The West, they have a lot of gall or balls, lol but not much brains.
Europe has Left Russian energy for Americans energy result back to poverty ruin and diminishment without end
Let them freeze Mr.Putin. They would be mocking and laughing if this were Russians suffering.
Shameless EU UK USA want free russian oil and gas – and want to punish india fir buying russian oil.
Ursula & Kajja mislead the EU into gas beggers !! 😅😅
SIG PRESIDENTE PUTIN
USI CON I CRIMINALI ASSASSINI PREDATORI SCHIFOSI SATANICI GUERRAFONDAI CORROTTIIIIIII ANGLOSASSONI ANGLOAMERICANI, USI LA LEGGE DEL "TAGLIONE" CONTRO I SUOI NEMICI GRAZIE.
IO COME MILIONI DI ITALIANI SIAMO DA SEMPRE AMICI DELLA RUSSIA,NON DIMENTICHIAMO TUTTI GLI AIUTI DELLA REPUBBLICA RUSSIA ❤❤❤❤
NON DIMENTICARE MAI …. CHE IL PRIMO RESPONSABILE È IL POPOLO 🐇🐑E PANTOFOLAIO👎👎👎
La Russie doit satisfaire la demande en gaz de ses nouveaux partenaires, donc il n'y en aura pas pour tout le monde, mais de toute façon, l'UE de VDL ne manque pas d'air, à vouloir réclamer du gaz gratuitement, ils rêvent tout debout. qu'ils commencent à lever les centaines de sanctions contre la Russie, et peut-être que…. non j'avais oublié qu'ils ne voulaient plus du gaz russe. Donc l'affaire est close.
Begging for gas from russia while stealing russias soverign wealth, unbelievaely stupid.😂😂😂
That's the Germans, always complaining. Tell them to vo to Lidl, they have nice wolley caps, warm scarves and fleece jackets. They also have hot water bottles if they can heat the water. That'll keep them alive til may when the weather changes.
😂😁🍄🤯
If NATO is dissolved it surely could pay for EUs high energy bill. If refugees are not encouraged to move to EU then EU could put together a balanced budget.
Have I got it right ? Europe continues to provide arms to the Ukraine, and covertly help the Ukrainians to bomb Moscow, and they then Go on to beg for cheap energy, well if I was Russian I would hope that the west freeze and have to close every factory,
Is this true? I doubt it
Alternative energy sources, like wind and solar?
Hows that going, oh bad.😆
Russia 🇷🇺 👍
The European commission, unelected bureaucrats by any chance?
WOW OOOOOO RUSSIE IS RIGHT ❤😂❤ EUROPÉEN EU WILL THINK TWICE❤❤❤❤❤
EU is now asking for free gas 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
