Operator of Nord Stream 2 denies it filed for bankruptcy

Business

The Swiss-based company behind the Nord Stream 2 pipeline denied on Wednesday that it filed for bankruptcy but confirmed it terminated employee contracts.

Why it matters: Long viewed as a Kremlin influence project that would increase Europe’s energy dependence on Russia, Nord Stream 2 was one of the first targets of the flurry of Western sanctions triggered by Vladimir Putin’s invasion of Ukraine.

  • A local official told Swiss radio broadcaster SRF on Tuesday that the company had filed for bankruptcy and fired all 106 of its employees.
  • German Chancellor Olaf Scholz said the certification of the $11 billion natural gas pipeline would be suspended last Tuesday, a day after Putin ordered Russian troops into eastern Ukraine for a “peacekeeping” mission. The pipeline is fully constructed, but gas had not yet started flowing.
  • The U.S. followed up by rescinding sanctions waivers on Nord Stream 2 AG and its corporate officers, dealing what was likely the death blow to a project that had caused major headaches for President Biden and the trans-Atlantic alliance.

What they’re saying: “We cannot confirm the media reports that Nord Stream 2 has filed for bankruptcy,” Nord Stream 2 AG — a wholly owned subsidiary of Russia’s Gazprom — said in a statement.

  • “The company only informed the local authorities that the company had to terminate contracts with employees following the recent geopolitical developments leading to the imposition of US sanctions on the company,” it added.

The company told Reuters on Tuesday that it “had to terminate contracts with employees. We very much regret this development.”

Between the lines: Even as the West and private companies have moved to fully isolate Russia over its unprovoked attack on Ukraine, former German Chancellor Gerhard Schröder — the chairman of the board of Nord Stream 2 AG — has yet to cut his lucrative ties with Russian energy giants.

  • Members of his office staff have quit in protest, according to Politico.

    Lets hope Russia can win quickly and put an end to the American empire’s eastward expansion and warmongering.

    You’re a bad loser, apneaman.

    The DailyMail is full with anti-Russian propaganda for the boobs, but every now and then they publish material for more thoughtful folks, people like you and me:

    “Putin is NOT crazy and the Russian invasion is NOT failing. The West’s delusions about this war – and its failure to understand the enemy – will prevent it from saving Ukraine, writes military analyst BILL ROGGIO”

    Psssht – Putin is winning (as long as there is no major foreign intervention)

    If the West will intervene directly, it is only a matter of (little) time before China, Iran and North-Korea will enter the war too and WW3 will be a fact. Expect tactical nuclear weapons to be used, to start with in western Ukraine and warning shots over Poland and Chinese/Nord-Korean firing similar warning shots over Australia and near Nagasaki, to keep Japan out of the conflict.

    A general mobilization in the US for deployment in Europe and East-Asia could go accompanied by mass defections in North-America (CW2). Better die for your race than for the kikes, the motto will be.

    “Macron held new 90-minute call with Putin: Elysee”

    https://www.theguardian.com/world/2022/mar/01/china-mediate-ukraine-russia-war

    “China signals willingness to mediate in Ukraine-Russia war”

    China setting itself up as mediator for this brewing inner white conflict, instigated by international jewry (as always). This should give a clear indication who will be the next #1. Hint: not international jewry.

    The Russians originally wanted to take Ukraine by soft force (“Slavic Brothers” and all), but that merely emboldened the Ukrainian resistance. Now the gloves are off. Ukrainians openly admitted they make no POWs, but intend to slaughter them, a bit of a barbaric folk, these Kozakhs.

    The WW2 Germans always applied Geneva convention rules, as long as the enemy, like British and French, adhered to them too.

    But in the USSR, no such luck, result: Bloodlands.

    “French President Emmanuel Macron believes “the worst is yet to come” in Ukraine after Russian President Vladimir Putin vowed an “uncompromising fight” during a 90-minute phone call on Thursday, according to a French presidential aide. On the frontlines, Russian forces increased pressure on Mariupol and Kharkiv after Kherson became the first Ukrainian city to fall.”

    “Putin-linked oligarchs could see UK properties seized by government PERMANENTLY and used to house Ukrainian refugees under tough new sanctions being drawn up by Michael Gove”

    Oh dear, nobody will be left to fund UK political parties.lol

    Russian (and quietly Chinese) leaving London, so much for globalism. Nobody will ever invest in that city again, if it senses that its capital could be confiscated. Candidates for departue apart from Russia: China, Iran, Brasil, South-Africa, India (BRICS), Kazakhstan and now KSA as well.

    Bye-bye London as global banking city.

    So far 1 million refugees, all heading for Europe. 5 million expected in total, dwarfing the 2015 disaster.

    The good news: they are all white and mostly women (the men 18-60 have to fight).

    Even Hungary is widely openly its borders (because the refugees are white, f* racists.lol)

    The EU industry, agriculture, transport, building, etc. is rubbing its hands, confronted with so much cheap labor.

    clog the last humans to breath air in Europe will be black African climate refugees. A half billion will be heading yo Europe soon.

    Africans at risk of famine, drought and displacement, U.N. climate report warns
    Climate change has already increased heat waves and drought, and it has doubled the probability of marine heat waves around most of Africa, a panel of scientists found.

    Tens of millions of people across Africa face the risk of famine, drought, disease and displacement within decades, according to a landmark United Nations climate report released Monday that forecasts a dire future for the continent least responsible for global warming.

    I’m coming out of retirement & going to China to help them build power boilers correctly.
    And they’ll teach me how they can build them in less than half the time it takes us.

    Probably a union thing. No 25min coffee break on my 15min coffee break..

    If I have to take a dump, I wait until I finished my break then head for the shitter.

    The war changes the energy policy of the EU:

    https://www.telegraaf.nl/nieuws/556907137/kolen-geen-taboe-meer-voor-timmermans

    Coal and nuclear power stations are allowed to stay open longer. The goal remains climate neutrality. 2050 will probably be an illusion.

    All thanks to shithole Ukraine, that won’t be a NATO member regardless.

    Russians have taken the 6 nuclear power stations near Zaparoche. This gives the Russians options, like switching it off for Zaparoche until they surrendered.

    Progress is limited, first the “Nazis” of Mariupol need to be destroyed. But they do have the first major town Cherson, controlling the mouth of the Dnjepr river.
