This raises monumental questions about how Ukraine will navigate through the winter season - if Ukrainian energy infrastructure remains defenseless and is destroyed, it will lead to a humanitarian catastrophe and a massive wave of migration into the EU.

OTD in 1940, USSR formally annexed Latvia. Soviets troops had been "invited in" (in accordance with absolutely nothing to do with our treaty with Nazis) & then held "elections" where 99%+ voted to join USSR. None of this should sound familiar to you.

Rusland breidt zijn schaduwvloot voor het transport van vloeibaar aardgas uit, in aanloop naar nieuwe Europese beperkingen. Maar vanwege het specialistische karakter van LNG-transport zal het moeilijker zijn om de enorme olievloot waarmee Rusland sancties omzeilt na te bootsen, verwachten experts.
