At the meeting held ahead of Gazprom’s 25th anniversary, Alexei Miller informed the President about the company’s achievements and current operations. This occurred February 16, 2018.

The meeting focused on the company’s socially oriented project, Gazprom for Children. Over 1,300 sports and cultural facilities were built or renovated between 2007 and 2015 under the programme. Via video linkup, the President reviewed the operation of new sports facilities in Komsomolsk-on-Amur, Kursk, the village of Kantemirovka in the Voronezh Region, and the village of Suzemka in the Bryansk Region.

President of Russia Vladimir Putin: Mr Miller, tomorrow is the 25th anniversary of Gazprom, which is probably Russia’s strongest company with state participation. Congratulations to you and everybody working for Gazprom, the huge team of this major company. I want to note that over these 25 years, giant strides have been made to consolidate, maintain, and advance the industry.

We all remember very well the time when the state almost lost control of this company. Gazprom is without exaggeration the backbone of Russian’s economy. For many years, when in the 1990s and the early 2000s, our national economy was experiencing difficulties, Gazprom helped the economy to stay afloat. The company produced the much-needed resources for power and heat generation at the prices and rates clearly below market rates. Thanks to that, other industries had the opportunity to concentrate on their operations, upgrade outdated capacities, and invest in development.

Gazprom itself has made immense progress in terms of technological modernisation and expanding its opportunities. Gazprom is currently operating 151 gas fields. I doubt that any other company in the world has cast out so many lines, in a positive sense.

Gazprom has a presence in 34 countries, where it is very active in the market and cooperates with many partners and friends. I know that Gazprom is growing not only domestically, by increasing the amount of gas supplied to our residential areas but also very visible abroad. A significant amount of budget revenue comes from its exports.

Congratulations to you and all Gazprom employees on the company’s anniversary and its achievements.

Daily Wrap Up November 22, 2022

Under the cut:

Russia’s Gazprom has threatened to cut its gas flows to Europe via Ukraine as early as next week. In a statement, the Russian state-owned energy giant said some gas flows being kept in Ukraine were actually meant for Moldova, and accused Kyiv of obstructing the delivery of 52.52m cubic metres from transiting to Moldova. Ukraine has denied the allegations.

The head of Ukraine’s national power grid operator, Ukrenergo, has described the damage dealt to Ukrainian power-generating facilities by Russian missile attacks as “colossal”. Volodymyr Kudrytskyi, the chief executive officer of Ukrenergo, told a briefing that practically no thermal or hydroelectric stations had been left unscathed by the Russian attacks.

Iranian, Ukrainian experts meet to discuss Russia’s use of Iranian drones.

Russia's attacks on the liberated southern city of Kherson killed three people on Nov. 22, Oleksandr Leshchenko, the head of the civil protection department of the Kherson City Council, told Suspilne media outlet.

In a statement, the Russian state-owned energy giant said some gas flows being kept in Ukraine were actually meant for Moldova, and accused Kyiv of obstructing the delivery of 52.52m cubic metres from transiting to Moldova.

It said:

The volume of gas supplied by Gazprom ... for transit to Moldova via Ukraine is more than the physical volume transmitted at the border of Ukraine with Moldova.

It went on to say that would “begin reducing gas supply” on Monday 28 November if the “transit imbalance through Ukraine for Moldovan consumers persists”.

The Ukraine pipeline is the last remaining pipeline still bringing Russian natural gas to western Europe after Gazprom shut off its flows via Nord Stream 1.

Ukraine has denied the allegations, saying that all the gas volumes bound to Moldovan consumers have been transferred “in the full amount”.”-via The Guardian

“The head of Ukraine’s national power grid operator, Ukrenergo, has described the damage dealt to Ukrainian power-generating facilities by Russian missile attacks as “colossal”.

Volodymyr Kudrytskyi, the chief executive officer of Ukrenergo, told a briefing that practically no thermal or hydroelectric stations had been left unscathed by the Russian attacks.

Kudrytskyi said:

The scale of destruction is colossal. In Ukraine there is a power generation deficit. We cannot generate as much energy as consumers can use.

He said Ukrainians could face long power outages but that his company wanted to help provide the conditions for people to stay in the country through winter.

Ukraine had enough fuel reserves after building them up before Russia’s invasion, he said, and was working hard to repair damaged infrastructure but was hoping to secure some spare parts abroad.

He dismissed the need to evacuate civilians, after Ukraine’s deputy prime minister Iryna Vereshchuk announced on Monday the evacuation of residents from recently liberated areas of the Kherson and Mykolaiv regions.

People from the two southern regions, which were shelled regularly by Russian forces in the past months, have been advised to move to safer areas in the central and western parts of the country, amid fears that the damage to infrastructure caused by the war is too severe for people to endure the winter.

Asked about the proposals to evacuate some cities worst hit by energy shortages, Kudrytskyi said such calls were “inappropriate”.”-via The Guardian

“The World Bank will give $4.5 billion in additional aid to Ukraine to help it “sustain essential services and core government functions at the national and regional levels” while fending off Russian forces, according to a statement.

The money, provided by the US, will help “pay wages for hospital workers, government and school employees, pensions for the elderly, salaries for public servants, and social programs for the vulnerable,” the World Bank said in a statement.

“Amid the ongoing war and the escalating destruction of infrastructure, our commitment to deliver urgent assistance to the people of Ukraine is strong as ever,” said World Bank Group President David Malpass.

“This generous additional grant from the United States comes at a critical time as the country faces severe energy supply disruption and colder weather. The World Bank Group will continue to mobilize all available resources to help the Government of Ukraine meet vital needs for its citizens," Malpass added.”-via CNN

“Ukraine has informed Iran that the consequences of complicity in the Russian aggression will be incommensurable with the potential benefits of cooperation with Russia,” Oleh Nikolenko, a spokesman for Ukraine's Foreign Ministry, told CNN.

A spokesperson for the Iranian Mission to the UN previously told CNN that a request had been made for a “joint meeting of experts” to look into the accusations.

The Washington Post reported on Nov. 19, citing intelligence, that Iran and Russia had “quietly” reached an agreement to assemble “hundreds of unmanned weaponized aircraft” on Russian territory.

Russia has been using Iranian-made Shahed-136 kamikaze drones against Ukraine since September, launching waves of attacks that killed civilians and destroyed energy facilities nationwide.”-via Kyiv Independent

“Russia's attacks on the liberated southern city of Kherson killed three people on Nov. 22, Oleksandr Leshchenko, the head of the civil protection department of the Kherson City Council, told Suspilne media outlet.

According to Suspilne, 12 sites have been hit in Kherson as of 3:30 p.m.

Russia has been repeatedly striking at civilian infrastructure in the city on Nov. 21-22, according to multiple reports by local officials.

Ukraine liberated Kherson on Nov. 11, after eight months of the Russian occupation.”-via Kyiv Independent

6 Evil Corporations and Their Fictional Dystopian Counterparts

This took me a hot minute, but it was totally worth it. I did some research on 6 corporations and assigned them their very own fictional dystopian corporation. It's like presenting them all with an award, except the award is shame. Let's begin.

Speculative fiction is, and always has been, political. So it’s no surprise that so many commentaries on the failures of capitalism draw such striking parallels to existing corporations. Evil corporations, some might say. I decided to dig up some info on said existing corporations and present some of their, ahem, alleged activities, assigning them their very own dystopian corporations in fiction…
