RT @Mylovanov: An intriguing opportunity for foreign (and local) media in Lviv. Take a road trip with me tomorrow to the East of Ukraine - Dnipro - and back. In a convoy of 30 vehicle (some in the video) to be delivered to the front lines. Partly financed by @KyivSchool
Los británicos acusan a los irlandeses de tener trato preferente al cruzar la aduana en España. Son geniales.
Me temo que se olvidaron ya de aquello de que "Brexit es Brexit"
RT @astroehlein: I wonder how many of those Brits complaining that EU citizens get “preferential treatment” when traveling in the EU also voted to take away that “preferential treatment” from themselves… 🤔
RT @EP_President: The 🇪🇺 will not be blackmailed. We are not afraid of Putin.
🇵🇱 🇧🇬 & other targeted states will find our support.
@europarl_en calls for an immediate pan-European embargo on Kremlin-controlled energy supplies.
It’s time to cut our dependencies on autocrats once and for all.
Here is my visit to the Rotterdam harbor to tell you about Oil tankers unloading Russian oil.
And here my visit to Lubmin, in Northern Germany, where, yes, Nord Stream 2 is closed, but the gas still flowing through Nord Stream 1 brings in €170m a day for Putin
This week @TheEconomist Charlemagne @spignal mentions my visit to the Rotterdam harbor and to Nord Stream 1 and 2.
If you are curious about what we learned, you can find the videos of the two visits below.

Not only we are not banning Russian gas, Europe appears to be about to to be giving in to Putin´s blackmail and paying in ruble:
- Austria reported to have agreed
https://www.novinite.com/articles/214886/Austria+has+Agreed+to+Pay+for+Russian+Gas+in+Rubles+after+the+cut+to+Bulgaria+and+Poland
- Bloomberg reports several companies paying in ruble.

RT @MatinaStevis: Mega scoop by Bloomberg just out.
Ten European energy companies have opened accounts required for rubles payments to Gazprom, capitulating to Kremlin demand despite repeated EU warnings and please not to.
Four of them have already paid in rubles.
RT @EdwardNorton: There are real heroes in this world & they are not on movie screens. @navalny is a moral superhero. A hero of conscience & courage. He’s survived assassination attempts & sits in prison right now because he fights for truth & democracy… https://www.gofundme.com/f/navalny-team … 1)
@marceldirsus The sky. I still cannot understand why it is not Russian since the first minute of war.
RT @GeorgZachmann: While stopping the little remaining gas exports to PL (see orange line in figure) looks like a sideshow in RU-EU gas trade; it would destroy two German certainties in a single stroke:
1) "RU always merits contracts"
2) and implicitly:"mutual dependence safeguards flows in crisis"
Enhorabuena a Sylvana Tenreyro, profesora de @LSEEcon y miembro del Comité de Politica monetaria del @bankofengland por ganar el premio que concede la Asociación Europea de Economistas cada dos años a la mejor economista de Europa. ¡Muy merecido! https://www.eeassoc.org/awards/birgit-grodal-award
RT @apmassaro3: The German stages of doing the right thing:
1. It’s not our role
2. It’s impossible
3. It will cause World War III!
4. Okay, we’ll do it
Rinse, repeat
The money keeps flowing to Putin: another oil tanker from Russia arrives in an EU port tomorrow, the 27th of April.
Destination: Denmark - Skagen
Ship Name: Sunny Liger
IMO: 9332626
Carrying approx 435,881 barrels of Fuel Oils worth an estimated $73M

RT @GuyVerhofstadt: These are Putin’s people 👇🏻
6.000+ cronies, aides and frontmen for Putin’s war on the Ukrainian people !
Impressive work by the @Navalny_En foundation… to be followed up with EU sanctions asap !
Happy to see that Russian oil is substitutable after all according to Minister of Econom Habeck.
Two reactions
1.We need to do this fast so that Russian cannot find new suppliers
2. Now, the same creativity is needed to get rid of Russian gas.
RT @AndreasShrugged: That's potentially big: German Minister of the Economy #Habeck says that the share of Russian oil in German oil imports has already been reduced to 12% and that substitut…
@kikollan Yo aprendo muchísimo todos los días en Twitter. Me llevo cada vez menos berrinches. El truco es sencillo: solo sigo cuentas ecuánimes y bien informadas.
RT @jeuasommenulle: For anyone interested in following the trail of Russian money, nice disclosure from UBS today :
22bn of client money is from "Russian persons not entitled to residency in the European Economic Area (EEA) or Switzerland."
