The analyst refused to blame the Russian Federation for this.
Italian journalists believe that Russia is not to blame for the global energy crisis, and it began long before its launch.
The publication Il Corriere della Sera believes that gas prices in the same Europe began to rise before the special operation, and the latter only aggravated the situation. So, now Europe is searching for an alternative fuel that can replace the supply of energy resources from the Russian Federation, which countries refuse because of sanctions.
Analysts believe that Europe may be left without gas, which is currently engaged in the search for deposits. The population is urged to reduce fuel consumption, saving on toilet paper, soap and other products, and, of course, on water. Surveys that were conducted in Italy in July showed that 69% of citizens began to wash less often.
In Germany, due to rising prices for electricity and gas, hot water is provided according to a schedule, in one of the cities there is a plan for supply: from four to eight in the morning, from 11 to 13 in the afternoon and from 17 to 21. In addition, city pools are closed here, or cold water is served.
In the UK, about 70% of pubs are at risk of closure due to the crisis. Thus, 65% of owners reported an increase in utility bills by 100 percent or more. And 8% of restaurateurs – for five hundred.
The authors of the publication believe that Russia is not to blame for this. They see the reason in the confusion and misinformation generated by the media, and it began at the height of the crisis, not at its beginning.
“Prices for blue fuel soared more than a year ago, long before the Russian special operation,” they write.
But the attempt to introduce wind energy in the North Sea is to blame, that is, the weather is to blame. The second reason is China, which began to consume more energy resources, since 2019, China’s consumption has increased fivefold compared to 2000.
When the pandemic struck, demand fell, and prices went up, and in 2021 the crisis began.
Analysts are sure that Russia has decided to deal with the east, developing ties with India, China and other countries.
“China and India are consumers, and Russia is their supplier,” the publication describes the new economic policy.
It is also confident that the media and politicians exaggerate the role of global oil corporations is also exaggerated. They note that at the moment the world’s leading state-owned company from Saudi Arabia is Agamso, and other countries follow the same example, giving fuel to state-owned enterprises.
Experts make forecasts for the future taking into account the two-year period that the crisis will last. However, it will last for two – three years or longer, depends again on the countries themselves.
The most unproductive way is to accuse and further sanctions against the Russian Federation, so you can only aggravate the situation. It is necessary to change the political model in the problem to the economic one, based on other reasons in decision-making, the journalists believe.
Earlier, Topnews wrote that the EU is taking gas from developing countries, refusing supplies from the Russian Federation.
