Putin delayed the end of oil and gas by war against Ukraine
Putin’s aggression against Ukraine is hurting not only Ukrainians. But it is not only destroying their country, it is weakening the whole of Europe, the European Union, the West. As the world climate summit of the United Nations in Egypt, which ended on Sunday, showed, you will also appreciate it in the weakening of European and Western arguments in such a key matter of the present and the future, such as efforts to limit global warming.
Although Europe announced at the summit that the commitment to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 2030 will tighten from 55 to 57 to 58 percent compared to the level of 1990. But few believed it. And that’s because this year, due to the energy war that Putin’s Russia is waging against the European Union as part of its aggression against Ukraine, it has completely opposite consequences.
A shame not only in football
Instead of natural gas, which is very little harmful to global climate change, Europeans have to burn literally anything in their power plants to prevent the energy and economic collapse of the EU this winter. European politicians and managers literally go around the entire planet and buy compressed natural gas wherever they can, which would at least replace the giant supplies from Russia.
is a very poor balance in terms of climate. Despite the EU’s rhetoric about how the war in Ukraine has accelerated Europe’s transition to renewables, the reality is that the worst kind of coal smoke is rising from chimneys across much of the Union. And the energy crisis is destroying the budgets of EU states, European companies and European citizens.

In the persuasive pressure on developing and developing countries, the European Union is losing ground under its feet. It is also a question of whether it is short-term, because it will not take a year or two to replace Russian gas and build EU energy on easily renewable sources. And maybe not even ten.
All this appeals to the world’s fossil fuel, oil and gas producers, who see efforts to limit global warming as attacks on the mainstream economy. And Russia is one of the key members of the “oil states” club. The circle is closing.
