That's not what the guy said There are several other countries that Europe can buy gas from and it does. It is not in the interests of Europe to help Putin buy buying gas from Russia while they are wagjing a war on a country who have not attacked them. Russia is trying to destabilize Europe. Putin has been playing that game for 20 + years. Europe must stay the course here

Doesn't need explaining. We've known Russia is our enemy for some time now. Because Russia continually says so. Bit late for you to be crying about the consequences now, Igor.
So? We won't be buying gas from a nation of war criminals either. So we buy where we can. Yes, it's more expensive, but that's just the state of things right now. ruzzia gas is totally out of the picture even if we got it for free.

He said the electricity transmission are through the private companies. And why people can't analyze things in cozy warm house when he/she has all the data and information he needs?
Majority of people in Slovakia lives in flats that are heated and provided with warm water from gas boilers. Also industry uses mostly gas for heating processes. We can buy Russian gas from Turkey but the route is longer thus will cost more which results only in less money for people and higher prices for industry- means losing in trade. Same happens in Germany after Nord Stream
And majority of Ukrainians suffer cruel war started by Russia. They should allow billions of Euro to flow back into Russian economy to continue Russian atrocities in Ukraine, so Slovakians could save some money on their heating bills. You had 3 three years to diversify to other sources of energy.

As long as cheap gas flowed through a pipeline along the bottom of the Baltic Sea from Russia to Germany, it was ecological. When the Nord Stream 1 and 2 pipelines exploded, the gas stopped being ecological. Now, only German electric cars, windmills, heat pumps and Chinese photovoltaic panels are ecological.
A reminder that Germany had all the energy it could ever dream of from nuclear but after the fukashima scare in 2011 tsunami, your government had them all demolished.
Nuclear energy isn't free. Do you know how much effort it takes to build a nuclear reactor or maintain it? It simply doesn't make sense compared to renewables.
@Fishstick you have no idea about energy. Nuclear is expensive to build and its cheap to maintain. Renewables is expensive to build, and doesnt last long and its more complicated to run and not so enviormental as expected
Nuclear energy is very very complicated and costly. Maintenance requires tons of experts which Germany no longer has, you also need many different organisations being involved. Eg Russian Rosatom takes over everything because they do everything from supply, disposal or waste safety etc. countries prefer to outsource it as it is insanely costly especially if you have a big country. Eg France has a problem because they don’t have capabilities for disposal so they just store it somewhere hoping one day they will figure it out.

Whether the EU is affected by the termination of Russian gas depends on many factors. Obviously people who "live" the situation would be the best to ask how things go. If I am an American, I am likely to say "It is going really, really well. Better than expected!". Why? Because we are selling gas to those suckers at more than 3 times the price they used to pay to the Russians, and now the EU is dependent on the US for gas too. If I am a German, I am likely to say "Scheiße". Why? I am paying more, much more for my gas at home. My buddy Wolfgang and Gerhard lost their job, and I am on a reduced salary, potentially losing my job at the end of 2025. Year 2025 is going to be even harsher for the EU than the three past years. So if anyone doing song and dance about how great and how normal the EU still is, that chap is likely to be an American. Why? Because America is racking in the money from selling gas to the EU.

If I am an American, I am likely to say "It is going really, really well. Better than expected!". Why? Because we are selling gas to those suckers at more than 3 times the price they used to pay to the Russians, and now the EU is dependent on the US for gas too.
If I am a German, I am likely to say "Scheiße". Why? I am paying more, much more for my gas at home. My buddy Wolfgang and Gerhard lost their job, and I am on a reduced salary, potentially losing my job at the end of 2025.
Year 2025 is going to be even harsher for the EU than the three past years. So if anyone doing song and dance about how great and how normal the EU still is, that chap is likely to be an American. Why? Because America is racking in the money from selling gas to the EU.
When will the EU exit the EU?
Was that supposed to make sense?
@@mesel7105 i guess he meant when will germany leave the EU
Germany is the EU
@@mesel7105 EU should exit NATO
Ridiculous
@@fredlu7638 Ok, put that in the suggestion box, Fred.
Still underestimating the russians.
Go to gym bro, your talks are all gas. You are paid to drive an agenda and support a narrative.
I sure hope no one in this comment section imply that to combat Russian gas dependency, Germany should switch to russian uranium dependency...
Only you seem to have had that thought.
to combat Russian gas dependency, Germany should switch to russian uranium dependency.
@@mesel7105 Actually no. Germany imported record volumes of Russian uranium in 2024.
@@nunyabizness1395 While carefully ignoring what those imports are used for. And the company they were delivered to in Germany is French.
Planned uranium production ended in Germany in 1990...........
Uranium imports from Russia to Germany in 2024 increased by almost 70% compared to 2023.
And europe could have been strategically so strong.. if russia was accepted and the west didnt try to flip the regime back than in 2014 and before
Russia chose this fate when it invaded Ukraine, it is not a reliable European ally
Trump already threaten the EU to buy more oil and LNG from his country or prepare to face tariff 😂😂😂 EU should buy more from Trump to avoid tariff
A bunch of hypocrite people on DW

Germany:Need Russian natural resources,still on war with it.Need china to its Car,still send military vessels to provoke.Need skilled Engeneer’s from India,still mock them whenever possible.Foolish ?
Sad opinion, besides being biased! His “I don’t thinks” are just that!
The stupidity of some EU leaders is unbelievable, especially Von Der Liar😂.
Has nothing to do with stupidity. Its intentional. Just serving other masters.
So basically you are opting to buy expensive gas than cheap one sounds like a good business deal to me .
Freedom is not cheap 😂
Self inflicted high energy prices
Что за «умник» в синей куртке??? Где он диплом купил? Без Нашего газа какая электроэнергия будет для Украины? Даже если есть другие источники энергии- они буду использованы только для Словакии! Если эти поставщики энергии частные, они обязаны прежде всего поставить энергию Словакии. Мужичек в синей куртке есть слишком много бургеров, это видно- наверное это влияет на его умственные способности🤣
Mixing politics with economic is stupidity.
Stable at what cost 😂😂😂😂😂
Europe was lecturing India not to purchase Russian oil. But they are desperate for Russian gas. Seriously this is height of hippocracy 😈
only Slovakia and Moldova are desperate for russian gas. Everyone else started diversifying years ago.
Ukraine still dreaming about winning?
Russia still thinking that Kiev will fall?
Frank wasn’t intelligent enough to say much and scampered off.
Day 1044 of the SMO. Is this what Russia winning looks like?
You just like Germany in wwI thinking France is losing.
Happy new year,, Enjoy your Cold 🥶 🥶🥶
Sorry, we all froze to death in the winter of 22/23.
Not Russians
Still waiting for the cold.... :D
Looks like the EU is going to have to buy American gas now
Looks like that's the only allowed option to Europe.
За США,Россию,Китай не беспокойтесь,все будет хорошо.Европа заплатит за всё.Она будет жить хуже.
which side is affected more Russia or EU
Relying on US LNG is much better. According to Ursula Von Der Liar, it is much cheaper too.
Washing machine chips lady is always right. 😂
But y’all are still buying Russian LNG at a very high price… so what was the point?
EU don't like Russia then why they are buying stuff from it ?
If Germany doesn't resume the Russian Gas Supply the crisis of Energy and Inflation will get only worse and the prices only will go up like it has been in the last 3 years and 🇩🇪 Economy will continue to suffer even more
DW news more like a comic news channel. Trying their best to be relevant but proving the exact opposite.
Interview learned professionals experiencing the situation and not some wanna be expect thousands of miles away dreaming about realities else where!
He may not control private power companies, but he does control the infrastructure used to send the power
He can declare something like energy emergency with the private companies being prevented from selling electricity to Ukraine.
@Susan-32H exactly
US as a gas supplier has to be bias .
Non dependency on Russian gas & complete dependency on American gas which will be five times more expensive. If you don't buy from the Americans then be prepared for a hefty tariffs on your products exported to US. How does that sound? Isn't that a burgeoning crises for Germany. DW should dwell on that.
There goes your economy. Too late crying about it now, Ivan.
Hehehe........you are joking ..!!😂😂

It all depends on whether the AfD wins the elections to form a majority government.
Nonsense.

Fancy a American talk about weaponising anything...just buy American weapons and oil and gas and make America great again with your money ?

The EU approved 15 sanction packages against Russia and the Russian economy grew 3.9%. Meanwhile, the German economy is in "tatters". The EU sanctioned itself
