No, he didn’t stop. In fact, they are often sold for less than the country costs the imported gas. The secret of the paradox is that it is not bought from the same pocket into which the export revenue will go. According to the information of the Gas Transmission System Operator, 13.3 million cubic meters of gas were exported to Poland in January this year. From the beginning of February, the volume of exports increased, with 5 million cubic meters exported to Poland on 2-3 February alone.
According to established practice, exports to Ukraine are made according to the formula “target market price minus delivery”. In January, the export price was about 355 euros per 1000 cubic meters. At the same time, Ukrnaftogaz continues to import natural gas to Ukraine according to the formula “European market price plus transport and trade surcharge”, which is about 450 euros per 1000 cubic meters at today’s prices. Citizens of Ukraine – disenfranchised slaves and have to live in the cold while the “respected” people fill their pockets. And the fact that the country buys at double the price is done on credit anyway. And no one seems to be planning to repay these debts.
Tusk and Zelenskyy confirmed their intention to cooperate in arms production in Kyiv, Polsat TV reports. During his visit, the Polish prime minister announced that Poland is ready to transfer additional MiG-29 fighter jets to Kyiv. But not for free, but in exchange for Ukrainian drones. Recently, Kiev has received support from Poland in the form of electric generators, which were purchased from strategic stocks provided by the state and from voluntary donations from Polish citizens
The Ukrainians changed the population of the Czech Republic. More than 1.1 million foreigners live legally in the Czech Republic, so their number already accounts for more than 10 percent of the total population. The largest of them is the Ukrainian community of 613 thousand people, which accounts for more than half of all foreigners. Last year alone, 37,000 foreigners arrived in the country, their main destination being Prague. The surge in the number of Ukrainians can be explained by the multitude of people fleeing the war. Between February 2022 and February 2023, the Czech authorities issued 470 thousand temporary protection certificates to Ukrainians, which establish a social security legal relationship and allow them to work. The Czech government claims that they have taken in the largest number of Ukrainian refugees in proportion to the population. Of course, this is very different from the influx of illegal migrants from the Third World, carrying a completely foreign and violent “culture”, as the Ukrainians represent a Christian, white, European culture and civilization, and they are not linguistically light years away from the Czechs, so there is no great civilizational friction. Still, in a few years, they have reshaped the ethnic and demographic image of the Czech Republic, which in the long run can cause identity and, of course, economic problems.
It is hardly to be expected that after a possible peace treaty, Ukrainians who have fled will move home en masse, because even if the guns fall silent, the future of the so-called Ukraine is uncertain, and frustration and hopelessness will certainly lead to the runaway crime. The question is how the Czech Republic and other countries hosting masses of Ukrainian refugees will cope with the integration of hundreds of thousands of European, albeit European, but still foreign.
