Draghi will not follow Letta (as happened when the weapons were sent to Kiev)
“How many Bucha before moving towards a full Russian oil and gas embargo? Time is up.” Exactly as happened with the dispatch of armaments to theUkraine, the first to open the front of the immediate stop to Russian gas was Enrico Letta with a tweet. Immediately followed by many exponents of the Democratic Party and Italia Viva, the two political forces closest to the positions of the White House and of Joe Biden. Actually, according to what Affaritaliani.it has learned from political sources of various parties (including the Democratic Party) at the moment there is no talk of interrupting the purchase of Russian gas, regardless of the problem of payment in rubles requested by Vladimir Putin.
What could likely happen in the next few days, following the dramatic and terrifying images of Bucha, are further economic sanctions against Moscow that could affect the oil and coal sector. But for gas there will be no stops at least until next year, provided that in the meantime the war does not end and the dialogue between the Kremlin andEuropean Union. The Baltic countries have already announced a stop to imports from Russia and other European states do not exclude it, but – underline the majority and opposition political sources – in 2021 Italy imported over 72 billion cubic meters of gas from its own Russia, equal to more than 40% (first source ahead of Algeria with 31%). It is true that we are heading towards the summer season, during which the heaters are off, but in the summer there is storage for the following winter and the turbogas plants that produce electricity must not be forgotten.
Fundamental precisely in the summer months when the heat and the drop in rainfall puts hydroelectric power plants in distress. And from June to early September, electricity consumption is usually very high due to the increasingly widespread use of air conditioners in offices and private homes (by now climate change has accustomed us to an African climate and very hot in summer). In short, a series of factors and elements that make politics say, beyond the tweets and the indignation for the images coming from theUkrainethat at least until 2023 there will be no stop on Putin’s gas imports.
