⚡The Financial Times writes that 21% of Russian LNG is sold through EU ports. Moreover, not all of this volume goes to the European market - it turns out that gas can also be pumped into the sea from tanker to tanker in order to conceal its origin and further sale. This is what the Europeans are doing, not only buying gas for themselves (LNG has not yet been sanctioned), but also selling it to buyers in other parts of the world. So, you can cheat not only with oil, but also with LNG, which makes all European calculations about a decrease in the share of supplies from Russia even more ephemeral than it previously seemed. And the LNG transshipment scheme itself proves that the same sanctions against Arctic LNG-2 can be bypassed by schemes already tested on oil. The main thing is that there is demand, and, as we see, there is even from our “Western partners”. 1 Like

⚡“Crimea is waiting, but with Donbass it will be very difficult.” Zelensky believes that it is “mentally more difficult” for Ukraine to take Donbass back because there have been constant hostilities there for 10 years. “There were no hostilities in Crimea, so I believe that Crimea is waiting for a return, and Donbass is also waiting, but it will be very difficult, because most of this territory was occupied and militarized to the maximum,” Zelensky said. 1 Share

⚡Ukraine will not give up its occupied territories in exchange for joining NATO, Foreign Minister Kuleba told his colleagues in the Alliance countries in Brussels. “We must continue, we must continue to fight. Ukraine is not going to retreat. For some reason, it’s always easy to advise someone else to give up and make concessions,” The Times quoted him as saying. Kuleba says that the Ukrainian authorities intend to go back to the 1991 borders. He also expressed disappointment with the pace of arms supplies from the West. In turn, Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky expressed doubts that Ukraine would ever become a member of the North Atlantic Alliance. “We don’t know exactly how it will be, no one will tell you for sure. And whether we will be in NATO or we will not be in NATO. We want, but...” he said in a video posted on Telegram.
