Ho Van Cuong’s sand level makes many people curious How much can Ho Van Cuong earn? The story of singer Phi Nhung with adopted son Ho Van Cuong has attracted attention in the past few days, of which it is interesting that Phi Nhung admits that in the past 5 years, all the money for her adopted children to sing has been kept by her manager. She herself does not know how much money Ho Van Cuong has, but it is estimated that it may be about 1 billion VND or more than 1 billion. That is the total amount of money for singing in the country and going on shows abroad, excluding airfare, investment… Phi Nhung will give back to Ho Van Cuong that total amount after the adopted child turns 18 years old. This information is controversial. Many figures about Ho Van Cuong’s salary are given to show that the figure of 1 billion dong is less than his 5 years of singing. It is estimated that his salary level may be 50-70 million/show after being crowned Vietnam Idol Kids 2016 Champion, but many people think that this is just an exaggerated number. The young vocalist’s show at the time of the coronation only fell at 30-35 million VND/show. At the moment, it is only about 15-20 million VND/show (or even lower) because in recent years, Ho Van Cuong has not been so prominent. In fact, up to now, there is still no authentic information about Ho Van Cuong’s sands. According to an anonymous vote, few people book Ho Van Cuong privately, but mainly he sings with his adoptive mother Phi Nhung. The salary level of singer Phi Nhung was also revealed. Specifically, Phi Nhung’s salary is not fixed, sometimes 60 million, sometimes 90 million/show. The total amount of Ho Van Cuong’s 5 years of singing is not officially public This price does not include adoption, but sometimes Phi Nhung still takes her adopted children to sing along, including Ho Van Cuong. Therefore, how to calculate the salary for young vocalists, how to eat and what percentage, only Phi Nhung’s company knows. Phi Nhung once said that she paid more attention to Ho Van Cuong’s studies than singing. Therefore, if you think that the young vocalist who sings at the weekend with the sands is about 10-15 million/show, he will have more than 500 million/year (if he receives 1 show every weekend). 3 years of singing (according to the manager, the last 2 years Ho Van Cuong did not sing), the amount of money the male singer can have is about 1.5 billion dong. This number does not include Ho Van Cuong’s fair singing show, participation in game shows, advertising … and does not include % with management. Ho Van Cuong himself also appeared in many gameshows such as “Talented Talent”, “Super Surprise”… Cassia depends on many factors However, that is only an estimate. In fact, according to industry insiders, it is difficult to estimate how much money Ho Van Cuong has earned in the past 5 years. The salary levels given are for reference only, not the exact salary. Because, the performance of the Child Champion depends on the program that the singer is crowned with and the name of the child voice. Phuong My Chi’s catse was once publicly known by Quang Le as $6,000/show in the US, but whether this price is accurate or not, not everyone knows. This is easy to see when Quang Le once revealed that Phuong My Chi’s salary when performing in the US was 6000 USD (about 140 million VND)/show. Meanwhile, also the winner of the music contest, Quang Anh fluctuates around 10 million/show, higher can be up to 30 million/show. Or Thien Nhan did not disclose the salary, but said that it was only enough to cover tuition fees, living expenses and send some to his parents. According to Mr. Nam Cuong, biological father and manager of The Voice Kid 2016 Champion Trinh Nhat Minh, in fact, many singers have crews that inflate the price of sand when they are announced, while the number is How they actually get is only known. “I don’t book shows with singers, so I don’t know the price, but I think with a salary of about 70 million for Ho Van Cuong, it is not possible. For example, Nhat Minh, since the coronation of The Voice Kid 2016 has been singing regularly for several years and his name still retains a certain heat, but the sand is not that good. When he just came out of the competition a few years ago, Minh’s event in Hanoi was only about 25 million / show, outside the province will charge a different price. The show event will have a different price. If there is no epidemic and plays all year round, in a few years, it is normal for children to earn 1 billion or several billion, “said Mr. Cuong. However, he said that this amount also depends on how the singer chooses the show. If you accept to sing at the fair, the singer’s schedule may be thicker. The level of pay will depend on the name and ability of each singer, not to mention each boss will book singers in different styles with different prices. As the Champion of The Voice Kid 2016, stepping out of the contest, Trinh Nhat Minh has a salary range of only about 25 million VND/show. Commenting on Ho Van Cuong’s total ability after 5 years of singing, Mr. Cuong said that it is difficult to determine. “It is impossible to know how much money the singer earns. Phi Nhung can be selected as the main book and Phi Nhung installs Ho Van Cuong to let Cuong collide and get used to the stage. When going to “eat ke” like that, the price will be different from the price of a separate book. Or vote for the book by “cluster” is both, the price is different. Therefore, it is difficult to assess how much money Ho Van Cuong earns in a few years or say about 1 billion is more or less”, the manager of The Voice Kid 2016 said.

Don’t advertise… dose In addition to participating in advertising on the mass media, some artists and celebrities also introduce products through livestreams on social networks. In addition to food supplements, they also accept advertisements for many products related to cosmetics, virtual currency… Recently, the public has been very upset with the fact that some artists have participated in advertising and hyped the public. Shioka effervescent tablets claim that the product can “dissolve fibroids, cysts”. After being criticized, some people had to apologize or silently delete promotional videos on their personal social networking sites. On the website of the Food Safety Department at vfa.gov.vn, people are constantly warned not to buy or use food products advertised in violation of the law, including Shioka effervescent tablets. as above. Recently, the Food Safety Department has sanctioned 3 violating companies (with addresses in Hanoi), specifically: Sanctioning Locifa Pharmaceutical Joint Stock Company 162 million VND; Gob International Hi-Tech Joint Stock Company 150 million VND; Phamaco International Trading Company Limited 60 million VND. The violation committed by all three companies is to advertise misleading health food products that act as medicines. Assessing this situation, Assoc. Prof, Dr. Nguyen Thanh Phong, Director of the Food Safety Department said: “Violations on advertising of dietary supplements are increasingly complicated even though we regularly check and handle them. The inspection and handling of infringing advertisements on the internet and social networks face many difficulties and take a long time. People need to raise their vigilance, when they have an illness, they should go to the hospital for early examination and treatment, do not arbitrarily buy drugs or floating advertising food products.” Lawyer Dang Van Cuong, Chief of the Law Office of Chinh Phap, Hanoi Bar Association said: “It is very normal for artists and celebrities to sign advertising contracts for brands and businesses to help them. have additional legitimate income. However, when participating in advertising, artists must be responsible and carefully study the legal regulations in order to advertise properly and bring positive effects. If an artist or celebrity accidentally or intentionally violates the provisions of the Law on Advertising, advertises prohibited products, goods or services, or performs prohibited acts in advertising or advertising without knowing If you clearly understand the use and value of the product, falsely advertise, etc., it will have very bad consequences for society and lose your reputation, and even be held responsible before the law.” Strictly handle violations Regarding this issue, recently, the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism issued Official Letter No. 1854/BVHTTDL-NTBD requesting localities to step up the propaganda, dissemination and education of the sense of law observance. the law on performing arts, advertising, and cyber security to organizations and individuals engaged in cultural and artistic activities. Strengthen inspection and examination, promptly detect, prevent and strictly handle organizations and individuals that violate the provisions of Decree No. 144/2020/ND-CP dated December 14- 2020 of the Government regulations on performing arts activities, the law on advertising and other relevant legal regulations… Lawyer Nguyen Van Thang, Hanoi Bar Association analyzed, according to the provisions of point a, clause 1, Article 10 of the Law on Protection of Consumer Rights, the act of advertising products is not verified for origin. The actual use and exaggeration of the product’s use of some artists in the past time can be considered as aiding and accompaniment to businesses providing products and services when “deceiving or confusing consumers”. through advertising”. This is prohibited behavior and should be strictly punished according to the regulations. If the violator has been administratively handled but still repeats the offense, he will be criminally handled. If the person providing the product or service is prosecuted for criminal liability, it is likely that the artists participating in the promotion and introduction will also be jointly responsible. “According to Article 8, the Law on Advertising 2012 (amended in 2018), the act of advertising improperly about the quality and utility of products and goods is strictly prohibited. Violators can be sanctioned for administrative violations, if this act causes harm to health and life, consumers can sue the manufacturer together with the person who has false advertising to prevent that. claim for damages. In addition, Article 197 of the Criminal Code Consolidation Document also clearly stipulates that anyone who falsely advertises goods or services has been administratively sanctioned for this act or has been convicted of a criminal offense. If this crime has not been remitted but still commits it, the offenders shall be subject to a fine of between VND 10 million and VND 100 million or non-custodial reform for up to 3 years. Offenders may also be fined from VND 5 million to VND 50 million, banned from practicing certain occupations or doing certain jobs for 1 to 5 years,” added lawyer Nguyen Van Thang. Talking to reporters, lawyer Le Van Len, Director of Capital Law Firm, Ho Chi Minh City Bar Association said: “The law on advertising still reveals many shortcomings and limitations, especially before the development of the law. development of the internet and social networks as well as influencer marketing (using influencers to advertise products and services). Therefore, along with strictly handling violators according to current regulations to deter and prevent, we must also continue to improve the provisions of the law on advertising to keep up with the development of the Internet. society”.

(Illustration) Unlike ordinary pork sausages, Cham sausages require ingenuity and sophistication from raw materials to processing. The outer shell is beef intestine, so that the dish has a tough, sweet and strange taste. The stuffing inside must also be pieces of shredded meat from the bones, so it has an attractive aroma. After that, people will deodorize with finely chopped ginger. (Illustration) And yet, a sausage with the right taste must have the fat and the fat. The best type of fat is sa fat, lard to make the dish more moist. The perfect ratio would be two parts meat one part fat. So mix all together with pepper, spices, star anise and secret recipes of the Cham people… to stuff the beef intestines. But the uniqueness of tossing and turning requires a unique ingredient – cold rice. Just adding a little fermented cold rice to the filling will stimulate the flavor in the strange sweet and sour taste. Each round, full, finger-sized sausage is tied into a string and dried. After 3 sun exposure, it is enough to drain, hunt meat and can be enjoyed. (Illustration) To fully feel the delicious, nutritious food of the dish, the best way is to grill beef sausages on embers, when cooked, “treat” right there. In the hot heat, just blow up and feel the melting sweetness of meat and beef fat. Mixed in is a little sourness of cold rice balanced and spicy to stimulate the taste of pepper and chili. The aroma emanating from the fire and the fat water flowing into the fire sounded like a “crack” sound. Dotted with sweet sauce, served with cinnamon is enough “standard” post. (Illustration) (Illustration) (Illustration) Tung lo ma is not only a specialty dish of the Cham people but also a precious gift that has been kept for generations. Once coming to this land, you should not miss the opportunity to experience the unique taste of beef sausages.

I thought yam only appeared in family dishes, but when fried, it is one of the top street foods in Saigon. Not only keeping the purple color as well as the natural sweet flesh, this dish also has a faint fatty taste of fresh milk. Then when put on the outside of the crispy, hot fried crust, people will eat it all the time without getting bored. Illustration Fried yams do not make people feel dry but soft and moist, fragrant and easy to eat. (Illustration) Fried Sake I don’t know where this dish originated, but when combined with a layer of starch, sake is “shining” much better. Sake pieces are cut to taste and fried until they turn an eye-catching golden brown color. It’s so simple, but it has created a very “good” dish. Sake is characterized by its fat but not starchy flesh. The outside is crispy and fragrant, but the meat inside still retains its soft moisture, so you don’t have to worry about how much you eat. To increase the taste buds, people also shake with soot and cheese to make the dish delicious, sweet and sour. Illustration Sake may sound strange, but it is a popular snack for many Saigon people in the late afternoon. (Illustration) Banana Fried Pancake Fresh bananas combined with crispy crust make people want to eat forever. The banana is thick, rolled evenly and dipped in flour. After deep frying, it will create a golden crust and bring a completely new flavor. Bite into the crispy, salty crust and then touch the sweet banana inside, all intertwined to bring about a delicious and attractive flavor. The hot banana cake has just drained the oil, just blow it up and slowly sip it to feel it. The taste is popular, but it adds a special feature to Saigon street food.

People use durian meat that has been beaten into thin rice paper, then dipped in flour and deep fried in oil. The delicious and golden cake is eye-catching with a crispy crust. Although the kernel is not overwhelming, it is enough to occupy the taste buds by the characteristic passionate aroma. The dish is extremely ideal for those who are afraid of their mouth when enjoying this fruit directly. Because the cake reasonably harmonizes the crunchiness of the dough, the light fat of the durian. Illustration There is no doubt about the love of the fat people for this “passionate” delicious fruit. (Illustration)

On the morning of May 9 (Beijing time), the China Manned Space Engineering Office (CMSEO) confirmed that the fragments of Long March 5B had fallen into the Indian Ocean near the Maldives, the rest was loaded. fire in the atmosphere. The Truong Chinh 5B missile carrying parts for the Chinese space station was launched in Hainan province on April 29. Photo: Reuters. “They are jealous of China’s progress” In addition to the confirmation of the missile falling into the sea, the Chinese media said that Western newspapers are exaggerating the incident, discrediting the country’s space exploration program. “Their hype and smear are in vain”, CNN citing a Chinese source, saying that American scientists are “acting against conscience” and “anti-intellectual”. “These people are jealous of the advancement of Chinese aerospace technology… Some of them are even using loud words to interfere with our future missile launch missions, with the goal of building stations. private universe “, this page says. Earlier, the director of the US Aerospace Agency (NASA) Bill Nelson criticized China after debris from the Long March 5B rocket fell into the Indian Ocean. “It is clear that China has not met the standard of responsible space waste,” said Nelson in a statement on May 9. Compared to Russia (formerly the Soviet Union) or the US, China is a latecomer in the space field. They launched their first satellite in 1970, 13 years behind the Soviet Union and 12 years behind the US. In recent times, the field of Chinese space exploration has been invested more and more strongly. They are the first country to send a probe into the dark of the Moon in 2019, before bringing some rock samples on the Moon back to Earth by the end of 2020. The reason China wants to build a space station On the US side, this country has taken action that China sees as “hostile”, to prevent its space mission. Since 1999, the United States has imposed a restriction on exports of satellite technology to China. In late 2011, the US Congress also passed laws restricting cooperation between NASA and China. That is why Chinese astronauts are not allowed to board the International Space Station (ISS), the only space station in orbit to be completed, operated by cooperation between the US and Russia, Europe, Japan and Canada. The Long March 5B is the largest space object to return uncontrollably to Earth in nearly three decades. Photo: ABC. That is the reason why China plans to build the Tiangong (Tian Cung) space station, which means “heavenly palace”. In late April, the Long March 5B was launched to bring the first module to the space station. But then, the rocket fell into a state of uncontrollability until it was gradually pulled down by Earth’s gravity. Although criticizing the West for “bluffing” the Long March 5B out of control, the Chinese media and experts have ignored the explanation of why the missile makes the world worried. According to the CNN , the Earth’s launch and landing phases of the missile can be predicted. When falling into orbit, manufacturers often equip controls to direct missiles into the sea or keep them in a “graveyard orbit”, which helps them hover in space for decades. This is the second incident related to the Truong Chinh 5B missile. Last year, a 12-meter debris of the missile crashed into a village on Cote d’Ivoire, damaging businesses and homes. Estimated to weigh more than 20 tons, the Long March 5B is the largest space object to return to Earth uncontrollably in nearly three decades. SpaceX’s test missile explodes again when it lands on the launch pad SpaceX’s Starship SN9 rocket landed and exploded on 2/2. This is the first phase prototype of a reusable rocket line that will help send people to Mars.

The largest missile center in China is falling out of control in orbit, after it carried part of the new space station into space last week. The object is expected to fall to Earth during an “uncontrolled re-entry” on May 8 or 9. Whether it falls harmlessly into the ocean or affects the land where humans live, the reason the Chinese space program allows this to happen is – again – unclear. And given China’s planned launch schedule, it is entirely possible that such uncontrolled re-imports continue to occur. Missile Truong Chinh 5B in a launch in 2020. (Photo: Xinhua) The China space program has a series of major spacecraft achievements over the past six months, including bringing back lunar rocks and sending spacecraft into orbit around Mars. However, the programs seem to continue to pose a small, though small danger to people across the planet without control of the path of the launched missile. Jonathan McDowell, an astrophysicist at the Center for Astrophysics in Cambridge, Massachusetts, who tracks objects in space, says: “I think it was their negligence. I think it is irresponsible. The uncontrolled drop is the reinforced core of Truong Chinh 5B, designed to lift large, heavy sections of the space station. For most rockets, the lower layers typically fall back to Earth shortly after launch. The upper layers, when they reach orbit, often reactivate the engine (after releasing the load), directing them to re-enter deserted areas such as the oceans. For the past three decades, only China has lifted layers of such large rockets into orbit and let them crash somewhere, said Dr. McDowell. “It is a technical decision based on possibilities.” He said that Chinese engineers were able to design the trajectory of the rocket so that it would remain in orbit, fall back to Earth shortly after launch, or they might have planned to activate the booster. fig to get it out of orbit in a non-dangerous way. Ted J. Muelhaupt, director of the Center for Orbital Research and Aerospace Debris re-entry, says: “The reintegration design cannot be taken lightly, it’s something the world as a whole has done because we need it.” As for Truong Chinh 5B reinforcement, it could be anywhere between 41.5 North latitude and 41.5 South latitude. That means Chicago, located further north, is safe, but big cities like New York could suffer. On May 6, Aerospace Corporation, a federally funded nonprofit that conducts research and analysis largely, predicts the re-entry will take place on May 8 at 11:43 p.m. Eastern time (10:43 p.m. 9/5 Vietnam time). If that is correct, the debris could fall to Northeast Africa, in Sudan. The timing uncertainty – a 16-hour fluctuation – and location are still large. A day ago, Aerospace predicted the re-entry site an hour in advance in the Eastern Indian Ocean. The calculations are complicated by many factors, for example, the sun. The increase in the intensity of the solar wind – charged particles sprayed by the sun – will inflate the Earth’s atmosphere, increasing its force on the object and increasing its rate of fall. The movement of the object also affects. The US Space Command and the Russian space agency are both monitoring the missile division. The Russian statement noted that the re-import will not “affect the territory of the Russian Federation” . The US agency meanwhile promised to update it regularly before the event was likely to take place. Currently the object is moving at a speed of about 29,868 km / h, so prediction of position also changes with each minute. China plans to launch several more launches in the coming months as the construction of its third space station is completed, known as the Heavenly Palace, or “palace in the sky”. That would require additional flights of giant rockets and the possibility of more uncontrolled re-imports leaving people on the ground anxious to follow, even when mishaps from single parts. very small. Jen Psaki, White House press secretary, said on May 5: “For the mutual benefit of all nations, it is necessary to act responsibly in space to ensure the safety, stability, security and long-term sustainability of space activities”. America hopes to push “Responsible spatial behavior”.

“Anti-aging was never the main goal when I started building a skincare routine, but it is taking up a lot of my time now,” she said. Like Mathias, young Americans are increasingly obsessed with their youthful appearance. They are so afraid of aging that they use anti-aging products and treatments very early. American teenagers are obsessed with the fear of aging, the fear of aging. Photo: CNN. In 2012, 20% of 18-24 year old American women considered anti-aging in skin care important, according to a survey conducted by market research firm NPD Group. In 2018, another study by consumer analysts The Benchmarking Company found that more than 50% of 18-24 year old women want to buy anti-wrinkle products. The immature children were afraid of getting old Kennedy Hack-Juman, 15 years old, acquired knowledge of skin care through social networks. Before buying any product, she goes through each ingredient carefully. “Then I’ll use a website to check the product’s ratings.” This young woman is almost obsessed with wrinkles. She especially loves products for the skin on her hands, neck and eyes because “those are the places that are most prone to aging”. “I just don’t like wrinkles so I’ll try to stop it anyway,” Kennedy said. According to the American Association of Plastic Surgeons, botox injections have increased by 28% among 20-29 year olds since 2010. Photo: Getty / CNN. Over the past year, the group that shares Reddit’s biggest skincare routine with 1.3 million members, has been flooded with posts lamenting the state of teenage premature aging. “Wrinkles at 19”, “Early aging, what should I do?”, “At 16, I was thinking about getting a botox to remove wrinkles”, “If I look like this now, then in my 30s How terrible will it be? “… are topics that have attracted thousands of discussions. On TikTok, Instagram, teens share their fears of aging by overusing skincare products, sunscreens, and expensive treatments. “I am 15 years old and I have used retinol, vitamin C and a gua sha massage tool because I am too afraid of aging,” one influencer shared in the video, which attracted 16,000 views. The market is lucrative Beauty brands are turning the aging fear of Generation Z into a lucrative business. The anti-aging market is expected to generate more than $ 88 billion in global revenue by 2026. “Anti-aging products are no longer just for older consumers. Young customers are also investing,” said Clare Varga, head of beauty at WGSN, the global trend forecasting agency. a lot of money for these products “. Robert Pogue Harrison, professor of literature at Stanford University and author of the book Juvesence: A Cultural History of our Age , believes that the sale of anti-wrinkle products to teenagers is only a business strategy. Social networks are synonymous with beauty with youthfulness. Photo: refinery29. “Young people are a very lucrative market for consumerism, because young people, especially very young people, are susceptible to being dominated by their desires,” said Mr. Harrison. Charlotte Palermino (33), who is famous for her skin care videos, said: “The internet causes paranoia. I don’t think about aging until I’m in my late 20s. Now now people are worried about it at the age of 18-19. Social media has changed the timelines. ” John Duffy, a Chicago-based clinical psychologist, says more and more young girls are convinced they will be bad if they get older. “Instagram, TikTok and other social media are making people understand that aging faces are a negative thing to avoid at all costs. It is a mistake to equate beauty with youthfulness,” said Duffy. to speak. Anjali Mahto, a consultant dermatologist at Harley Street, London, says she is starting to worry as more and more teenagers turn to anti-aging treatments like botox injections. “Botox is not the solution to the growing old phobia among young people. Botox lasts only 3-4 months and what happens when young people depend on it.”

Northern flow 2: Germany receives a request for a building permit, President Biden falls into a ‘dilemma’. (Source: The Brussels Times)

The website Tagesspiegel.de recently published an article titled “A guaranteed gas supply even without the Northern Stream 2 project”.

Accordingly, the Northern Flow 2 gas pipeline project not only supplies gas to Germany and the European Union (EU) but also has strategic implications for the transition of energy, the environment and political geography.

Once again, this has become a central issue in the context of Russia increasing its military forces on the Ukrainian border and US Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin making his first visit to Germany.

The question is, is this piping system really necessary? What would the consequences be if the pipeline didn’t go into service?

The opinions are mixed

Experts have many different opinions. Some people, like Jens Hobohm from Prognos Institute for Economic Research (Germany), believe that Northern Flow 2 from an energy point of view is necessary and meaningful.

In contrast, expert Claudia Kemfert from the German Institute for Economic Research (DIW) argues that the answer is “definitely not”.

According to Kemfert, it is not necessary to have any additional infrastructure for the transportation of natural gas from Russia. In addition, the plan to increase natural gas consumption will conflict with the discussed and agreed climate protection goals.

This expert said that there would be no serious problems if the Northern Flow 2 could not be completed and put into operation. If gas from Russia cannot reach Germany through this pipeline system, Germany and Europe will find other energy solutions.

In this regard, new US President Joe Biden has stated that, like his predecessor, Donald Trump, he wants to prevent the completion of the project through the threat of punishing companies involved in the project. .

Still many EU partners believe that, with the assistance of the Northern Flow 2, Germany is acting against the common interests of Europe.

Chairman of the European People’s Party (EPP) group at the European Parliament Manfred Weber said that the Northern Flow 2 project “will definitely not be feasible” if Russian President Vladimir Putin lets the conflict in the region. East Ukraine escalated.

Will the gas supply be at risk then? To answer this question, the forecasts of the amount of gas that Germany and Europe will need in the coming years are central.

From the outset, critics accused the conglomerates that built the pipeline project “inflated” the data on German and European gas demand, making the project indispensable. and completely overwhelmed the opposition.

However, Jens Hobohm believes that this criticism holds true only in previous years, but in recent years, gas consumption in Germany and Europe has increased more than expected due to the need for natural gas. as a bridge for energy transitions.

When countries like Germany give up nuclear power, Poland reduces its dependence on coal, while solar and wind energy are still unable to meet demand, gas is the optimal solution.

According to a study by the Prognos Research Institute, in 2014, the EU consumed 400 billion cubic meters of gas; in 2015, the figure was 419 billion cubic meters and in 2019 it was 470 billion cubic meters.

Consumption figures for 2020 have not been specifically calculated, but according to expert Hobohm, this number is expected to decrease due to the impact of the epidemic of acute respiratory infections Covid-19.

In Germany alone, gas consumption will also increase from 77 billion cubic meters in 2015 to 89 billion cubic meters in 2019, while in 2020 this figure will decrease by about 2.5 percent.

Is that a compelling argument for the construction of the Northern Flow 2 project or would the existing pipes be enough to meet demand?

Is the project really necessary?

If we compare the gas consumption figures for 2019 to 2006, when the first Northern Flow system was planned to be constructed, it can be seen that the consumption volume has never been as high as it was before. Meanwhile, the project construction consortium insists that pipelines are needed as gas consumption will increase continuously. In fact, in 2006, Germany consumed 92 billion cubic meters of gas, while in the EU it was 511 billion cubic meters.

Hobohm adds that Europe’s gas imports from outside Europe depend on how much the continent can produce and to what extent can it meet its own demand?

Currently, the amount of gas produced internally has decreased, partly due to the Netherlands cutting production share faster than planned.

The key point now, experts say, is that the Northern Flow 2 project is still under construction. And Europe has no problems with gas supplies. Whether this project can go into operation or not and never work is an open question.

The later this pipeline is completed, the less necessary it is to be, as the role of natural gas will decline more and more.

Along with that, security policy risks are also very concerned.

First, it is due to the dependence of Europe and Germany on gas from a Russia.

Second, additional risks come from this project because the pipeline runs from Russia through the Baltic Sea and then directly to Germany, not through intermediate states such as Ukraine, Belarus and Poland.

Critics of the project raise two questionable issues.

FirstlyMr. Putin wants free hands to implement his policies with neighboring countries without being afraid to depend on them (when gas exports no longer have to pass through these countries).

Monday, the operation of the Northern Flow 2 system leads to a decrease in the amount of gas flowing through the existing pipes, thereby reducing Ukraine’s income from allowing gas from Russia to transit through its territory. .

The national budget of Kiev will be more than 2 billion euros. Then, the pressure on the EU to increase its aid to Ukraine will grow.
