Verticals need money

Gazprom proposed an additional indexation of its prices - by 26.3% from October 1. If the government agrees, by the end of the year gas will cost $137 per 1,000 cubic meters. m, almost twice the exchange price in the United States.

In February, Gazprom calculated what its losses would be from increasing the mineral extraction tax - 64 billion rubles: indexation of Russian prices will give 50 billion additional revenue, and additional costs for the mineral extraction tax - 114 billion rubles.

Gazprom is not looking for additional benefits - only compensation for lost income, a concern employee assures, and all proposals were sent on behalf of the government to study the issue.

Well, the elections are over, the results have been drawn, it’s time to start threshing the loot and shearing the wool from the stupid herd. What is especially touching is the frankness with which the gas workers, without any hesitation, decided to compensate for the increase in taxes at the expense of the population, and not by cutting their own unimaginable expenses, selling football clubs, yachts, palaces, by cutting fantastic construction projects at exorbitant prices, widespread theft and unprecedented corruption .

Putin’s main wallet, spent on carousels and cabs on all types of transport for those eager to vote for the father of the nation as many times as possible, needs urgent replenishment. These guys are not used to saving on themselves. This is their gas, their country, their land and subsoil, and the stupid population who accidentally found themselves on the territory of fields and pipelines is an annoying obstacle in the great construction of a great energy superpower.
