Looks like their war will end in just the nick of time for them with the upcoming negotiations. Another year of this and they’d might actually be forced to pull out of Ukraine!
On Monday, the outlet posted an image of the document, in which Ilyukhina described the challenges Gazprom faced. In a call for “cost optimization at all levels of management,” she said the company needed to cut duplicate functions and bureaucracy.
Ilyukhina said that over the past 20 years, staff numbers had risen to create a payroll of 50 billion rubles ($485 million) and that “funds from cutting labor costs and social benefits” would be redirected to increasing “the motivation and development of staff,” pending an audit by February 15.
May it be so and may it continue!
Of course less world supply means higher prices for the rest of us.
Gas giant....
For a minute there, I thought this thread was about Michael Moore or Chris Christie!
Well they can just put them in the Army and send them to Ukraine I guess.
Putin’s little escapade will certainly Damage Russia for years to come. I’d be surprised if Ukraine can survive as a separate country.
This is based on the number of working age men lost on both sides.
Truth is the first casualty in a war, but Since Russia doesn’t have a VA like America does this is a problem
and this
as Ukraine is the people attacked

and others in the world are stepping up to help.
Not as many die in a war as are the number of seriously wounded in body and mind for the rest of their lives.
Putin and his WWII mentality, may have retarded the potential improvement of the quality of life for his population for several generations.
For what, the fear of a NATO that was never going to invade you?
Putin turned the Baltic sea into “Lake NATO”.
Lost Syria, can’t safely go into the Black Sea.
Soon the USA will work out a deal and get Greenland,
so say goodbye to the arctic, Vladimir.
I’m surprised they haven’t retired you yet.
Stooopid arse Rooski flaring off massive amounts of natural gas. That they can no longer sell into Europe>>>>>

The gas being flared at Portovaya near the Finnish border alone was estimated to be worth about $10 million per day in August 20223.
Yes, Russia has been flaring off significant amounts of natural gas, particularly since its invasion of Ukraine in 2022. This practice has raised environmental concerns and highlighted shifts in the global energy landscape.
Flaring at Portovaya LNG Facility
In August 2022, satellite imagery revealed large-scale gas flaring at Russia’s Portovaya liquid natural gas (LNG) facility near the Finnish border39.
Analysis by Rystad Energy estimated that approximately 4.34 million cubic meters of gas were being burned daily at this site13. This equates to about 1.6 billion cubic meters annually, or roughly 0.5% of the European Union’s annual gas demand6.
The flaring at Portovaya was described as an “environmental disaster” by Rystad Energy, with around 9,000 tons of CO2 being emitted daily69. This single flare was estimated to be equivalent to about 6% of Russia’s total daily flaring in 20216.
Reasons for Increased Flaring
Several factors have contributed to Russia’s increased gas flaring:
Loss of European market: Following sanctions and reduced demand from Europe, Russia has been unable to redirect its natural gas exports to other markets due to lack of infrastructure4.
Technical and economic challenges: Flaring often occurs when companies lack adequate infrastructure or financial incentives to bring the gas to market6.
War-related disruptions: Production disruptions related to the Ukraine conflict have led to reported spikes in flaring and venting events at idled Russian oil and gas wells7.
Weak regulations: Russia’s weak methane regulations and poorly managed operations contribute to emissions-intensive practices in its oil and gas sector7.
Environmental and Economic Impact
yeah it’s all over :)
Does ukruined even have any power anymore? :)
Rather have layoffs than a country that looks like bed, frozen, useless swiss cheese.
