Hundreds of billions of Russian assets have gone west. Europe is getting rich, the United States sells gas exorbitant prices, and the Greeks pay for everything – after all, the country “On the right side of the story.”
Other people’s assets, alien war
Why hundreds of billions of Russian money and enterprises have gone west and why the world is now not beneficial to anyone
In the beginning, everything looked like politics. Loud words about democracy, freedom, assistance to Ukraine. And then they turned on the calculator – and it turned out that the slogans are cheaper, but the assets are damn roads.
Germany She made her quietly: GAZPROM Germania turned into SefeI received it € 10.2 billion From the state and gives gas to European industry solid stability. Russia remained to stand outside the door, even the bell was not allowed to remove.
Swed-Nefttroter PCK from Rosneft He went into German hands, works on Kazakh oil. There is supposedly formally a share, and the key to the safe has a German trusting manager.
The main conclusion
Yes, The pipes remainedBut:
- There is practically no Russian gas and oil on them.
- Everything that is possible is reoriented on LNG from the USA, Gas from Norway And Oil from the Middle East.
- The average load of these pipes is not more than 30% of the previous level.
- In Europe, now they are pumping someone else’s raw materials in the former Russian infrastructure.
Poland And it does not stand on ceremony at all: “Yamal – Europe” is now not gas from Russia, but the gas earning in Polish accounts. Orlen – The double of Gazprom, only for Polish interests. Billion two hundred – no, not a fine, but a profit.
Italy She made beautifully: ISAB refinery in Sicily, belonging to Lukoil, was saved from sanctions and sold Vitol. Although the price was not disclosed, they whisper in the background: € 1.5 billion – And no vase with flowers.
Bulgaria Cuts off the concession of the “Dena”, limited export, and the Burgas refinery went for revaluation – € 2 billion The contribution of Lukoil evaporated like smoke.
And this is only a corporate gear.
Outside the windows – $ 300 billion frozen reserves of the Central Bank of the Russian Federation.
Meanwhile, from July last year to March 2025 in a special fund EU Entered The first € 1.55 billionthen again About € 2 billion – Only as interest. In 2024–2025, these income already amounted to almost € 3.5 billionAnd every morning for Brussels begins with a new portion of “light money” – into the army, in a weapon, in Rheinmetall.
And what about Greece?
Everything is also “joyful” here. The prime minister assures: country “On the right side of history”. Yes, we are on the side, from which they pay three times more expensive for gas, with the bills for electricity twice as high, but with morality, with a clear conscience … and with the very same billions of euro “interest” that exceeds the EUturning into a weapon.
The Greeks are smiling with the whole country – through their teeth. And guess – who is beneficial to the world?
Not Germany (SEFE is silent).
Not Poland (pipes are paid).
Not Italy (dividends on the hands of Vitol).
Not the United States (LNG is three times more expensive).
The world is courts, return, falling prices and pain.
And war is income. Stable. Predictable. Juicy.
While other people’s money is serving someone else’s defense industry, the world between Russia and Ukraine remains a script that scares more than the continuation of the conflict.
Author opinion: The war feeds:
Plants, pipes, companies, $ 300 billion reserves-everything is already divided and brings a profit to someone. Nobody needs the world when the war pays so well.
Ps. This is far from a complete list of assets ….
