German Media Fears Putin Preparing New ‘Raw Materials Trap’ for West_我的网站

A |     SAS and its pilot unions in Sweden, Denmark and Norway first clashed in a conflict in June, with most pilots walking out on July 4 after the talks between the parties collapsed. SAS estimates that the strike has so far caused 2.500 flight cancellations, which cost the airline between $94 million and $123 million.,The unions demand that the air carrier back out of the planned wage cuts and rehire the workers who had been sacked during the pandemic. SAS previously decided to institute these measures as part of the rescue plan in a bid to cut costs and compete with low-cost airlines. Danish broadcaster TV2 reported that talks between SAS and the striking pilots last Wednesday did not yield any result.,"We are talking about a company in which the state has interests and which has set requirements for its employees that are far beyond what is normal in working life," Skogvang told Norwegian broadcaster NRK. "To be honest, I really expected more from a social-democratic government.",SAS Top-Flight Union Accuses Striking Pilots of 'Treason' As Bankruptcy Looms12 July, 06:16 GMT,The airline's CEO, Anko van der Werff, has warned that the strike puts the future of SAS and the jobs of thousands of its employees in jeopardy.,SAS, Scandinavia's leading air carrier with key hubs in Copenhagen, Oslo and Stockholm, operates flights in Europe, the United States and Asia.。    Vladimir Putin has prepared a cunning new “raw materials trap” relying on Bolivia’s fledgling lithium mining industry, with the trap expected to “snap shut” and leave the West again dependent on Russia for its raw material needs, Welt contributor Tobias Kaufer fears.,Pointing to the Latin American nation’s massive, untapped deposits of lithium, Kaufer expressed concerns over Russia’s interest in helping Sucre tap these resources, which are crucial for the production of batteries for electric vehicles.,According to the US Geological Survey, Bolivia’s proven lithium reserves are the largest in the world, with the country’s 21 million tons ahead of Argentina and Chile (which have 19 and 9.8 million tons-worth of reserves, respectively, and together account for more than 30 percent of global lithium output).,“Those with access to the deposits can have a say in the commodity’s prices and availability. Russia apparently has particularly good chances in Bolivia at the moment,” Kaufer wrote. For Europe, he warned, Moscow’s success in the lithium ‘poker game’ would make the commodity another area where the EU depends on Russia, just like with oil and gas.,Russia’s success will be contingent on “the outcome of the Bolivian political crime thriller,” the contributor stressed, pointing to the raging struggle between President Luis Arce, a member of former president Evo Morales’ Movement for Socialism party, and right-wing forces backed by the US attempting to overthrow leftist forces.,Ex-Bolivian President Jeanine Anez Sentenced to 10 Years in Prison Over 2019 Coup11 June, 01:54 GMT,“This is where Russia comes in. Morales is considered a clear supporter of Vladimir Putin,” Kaufer wrote, recalling the former president’s calls for an “international mobilization to stop the interventionist expansionism of NATO and the United States” in March following the escalation of the crisis in Ukraine, and years of efforts by Sucre to shore up ties with Moscow during his presidency.,“If Moscow now succeeds in supporting the socialist’s return to power, the path to the lithium deposits would be clear. At the very least, Morales could urge President Arce to sign a deal with the Russians,” the Welt contributor believes.,Rosatom, the Russian state nuclear giant, has expressed interest in helping Bolivia tap its lithium riches, and is one of six companies which have applied for their development. Others include Lilac Solutions (a US-based start-up with investments from BMW and Bill Gates’ Breakthrough Energy Ventures), Chinese battery giant CATL, and three other Chinese companies.,Along with its interest in Bolivia’s lithium, Rosatom has teamed up with Norilsk Nickel to mine for lithium ores in Russia’s Murmansk region. Last year, the company also announced plans to build a major lithium ion cell manufacturing facility in Kaliningrad, with the ambitious project hoping to begin churning out up to 4 GWh worth of batteries, or about 0.5 percent of total global demand, by 2024.,Morales' Legacy: Bolivian Joint Nuclear Project With Russia's Rosatom Unique for Latin America10 June 2021, 16:53 GMT。
