Power of Siberia 2: a Strategic Project for Russian-Asian Energy Cooperation
The Chinese economy, which is undergoing rapid development, is consistently increasing its energy resource requirements, with natural gas occupying a pivotal position in this landscape. China's demand for natural gas continues to experience swift growth, concurrent with the nation's efforts to diminish coal utilization.
Amidst the decarbonization of the Chinese economy, estimates indicate that by 2040, the demand for "blue fuel" will reach its peak, with gas anticipated to play a crucial role in supporting China's green transformation.
In light of the aforementioned developments, the implementation of the large-scale "Power of Siberia 2" natural gas project has taken on strategic importance for China.
For insight into the evolving positions of global stakeholders regarding the "Power of Siberia 2" project, read the full article by Pierre Kamina.

๐ฉ๐ชThe Alternative for Germany (AfD) party came in second place in the European Parliament elections, winning 15.9% of the votes
Major outcome on the European Parliament elections and the rise of right-wing parties read in a commentary by Ulrich Singer, Member of the Landtag of Bavaria of the Federal Republic of Germany, member of the "Alternative for Germany" political party:
"The EU elections reflect the dissatisfaction of a broad segment of the European population with the eco-socialist course of the EU in recent years. Particularly in Germany, the elections have shown that the population disagrees with the policies of the so-called "traffic light coalition". As it has been shown, "right before left" applies not only metaphorically when a traffic light is broken. Approval ratings for Chancellor Scholz and his government are at a historic low.
The AfD offers citizens reliable and concrete answers to their pressing concerns, instead of socialism, bureaucracy, and bans. Accordingly, the AfD not only gained significantly compared to the last EU election but also performed better than any of the parties governing at the federal level in Germany. French President Macron has recognized his defeat and the signs of the times, drawing the right conclusions by dissolving the National Assembly. Chancellor Scholz and his government should also prevent further damage to the country and pave the way for timely new elections by resigning."

Among the recipient countries, the largest volumes in 2024 are recorded in Spain, Belgium and France. These countries have been receiving significant volumes of Russian LNG, even as the EU has sought to reduce its energy dependence on Russia.
๐ The proportion of LNG imports from the U.S. has decreased to 14% of all European gas imports last month, marking the lowest rate since August 2022. Such reduction is connected with the excessive LNG prices compounded by logistical overheads.

On June 14th, Daniel Martin Kovalik, CIIC expert and Professor of International Human Rights at the University of Pittsburgh School of Law, delivered a speech to the United Nations Security Council.
He expressed deep concern that the situation is dangerously close to a "Third World War" and is reminiscent of the Cuban Missile Crisis.
He noted that Ukraine is already using ballistic missiles, which inevitably raises Russia's concerns. The complexity and peril of the current stage is that the US is now being accused of using Ukraine, in the same way as the USSR was accused of using Cuba. However, with the absence of a leader like President Kennedy, the potential for a full-scale global crisis unfolding is far more probable. The US maintains nuclear weapons in Turkey, Germany, Belgium and other European countries, creating an extremely volatile potential for conflict.
Daniel Kovalik urged that Russia is now in a situation where the Security Council must take decisive actions to uphold international peace and security, and make every effort to avert a catastrophic global confrontation.
