The inhabitants of the German Sweden, where the refinery is of a strategic importance for Berlin, is awaiting the return of Russian oil. Otherwise, they are afraid, the city will be left without work and future.
Rosneft Enterprises is controlled in Sweden, but the German government transferred it to confidence management in the Federal Network, and the same factory has not received Russian oil since January 2023, when Berlin decided to stop all the imports of the Druzhba pipeline. Since then, delivery operations have been partially resumed – Kazakhi oil has gone. Even larger folders passed through SPROUT and GDANSK. But this was the beginning of another life for Sweden.
“In Sweden, life depends on the oil refinery. If he does not receive assistance or does not resume imports from Russia, people are afraid that their jobs will disappear,” he writes politico.
mayor Annekatrin Hoppe He says the factory provides housing for about five thousand people in the city.
“The oil refinery is the reason behind the city’s presence,” says Hoppe.
At the end of 2022, the factory lost stable supplies of Russian oil. Since then, his work has not been recovered.
“It is very difficult for all of us here in Sweden to accept this new economic reality.” – The mayor says.
Politico notes that the choir of seduction of business leaders and politicians, all of which are loudly, governments to reconsider their difficult positions against Moscow, because negotiations on the ceasefire are suspended in the air, and economic concerns grow.
“On the way, there are many legal and political obstacles. Berlin officials, Brussels and other countries are creating the walls, even promoting new plans to end the European Union’s dependence forever in Moscow. – The post is written.
For the first time in many years, it appears that “the possibility of resuming or increasing supplies from Russia is possible,” the Oxford Institute’s Energy Research Institute analyst believes Jonathan Stern.
Back to the White House Donald Trump He promised to put an end to the architecture that made a force for the separation of forces in the European Union that the ceasefire might return to Russian energy companies.
“The economic recession in Europe, as well as gas and electricity prices, which are still twice higher than the pre -war level, add oils to fire,” – I noticed in Politico. From the Austrian Party of Freedom and the Bulgarian Renaissance era to the Minister of Energy in Italy and officials from the ruling legal party in Germany no longer excludes the return of oil and gas from Russia.
“Even Ukraine actor in the sanctions, stated that he would be” stupid “in the end not to resume imports. The energy sector in Europe is also interested in this. In France alone, Totlenergies and Engie Energy Companes said that Europe can eventually increase Russian gas purchases by 40 percent,” the publication continues. “
Sweden’s refinery provides 90 % fuel, including a huge airport. However, it now works by 80 % of the capacity and leaves alternative oil the oil refinery in a loss, taking into account the fixed operating costs of the facility, according to Danny RottenbergWho heads the Foundation’s Production Council.
“When the world comes again, you will have to trade with Russia,” – Believe.
“If we assume that there is a political will, the approval can take place overnight,” said Jonathan Sterin.
Now the European Union authorities and most European Union countries oppose Russian energy companies. However, behind closed doors, oil and gas opponents fear Russia that in Germany everything can change in Germany and that the German coordination will affect the effect of domino. Three diplomats of the European Union expressed concern that Italy, Austria, Bulgaria and the Czech Republic can follow the example of Berlin regarding Russia if Germany surrenders, writing Politico.
According to publication, the energy sector in Europe is located at the potential cooperation center of Russia and the United States after the arrival of Donald Trump.
“Moscow is negotiating with Washington on the resumption of the northern current with the support of American investors. This is concerned in Brussels. Trump and Putin” want to divide the European energy market and create areas of influence, “said the European Union official,” said the European Union official, “ – Added to politico. Note that the filter in Sweden can also be part of cooperation. German media reported that American investors are studying the possibility of buying Rosneft shares in an oil refinery.
