"Problems with gas supply arose because of the sanctions imposed on our country by Western states, including Germany and Britain," Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov told reporters on a conference call on 5 September.Due to the ongoing conflict in Ukraine – which Russian President Vladimir Putin calls "a special military operation" – Western nations are unlikely to lift those sanctions, meaning the energy crisis will continue in Europe.
"And [Putin is] banking on their morale being sapped by enduring a bitter and cold winter without heating." For instance, nightly light displays on most public buildings have been scrapped, with the city of Hanover also banning use of portable air-conditioners, heaters and radiators.If swimmers frequenting municipal-run pools in Amsterdam are finding the water to be a bit colder, it's because it is.

Yet we’re all supposed to get electric cars?
Comming soon to Australia thanks to Labor and the greens.
MicheleVWoods It's a last warning.

'It's just a little [gas].'
Slovaks have it covered. Germans started closing their nuclear plants to use Russian gas as an interim measure to build more windmills and solar. Big mistake.
Hahahaha
TurekAndrew They listened to climate witch doctors. May they freeze, starve & turn cannibal at their leisure
TurekAndrew Funny how you get what you voted for.
The Parisians are protesting against the never ending war in Ukraine today. I’ve asked them why and they told me cost of living is still climbing and people has had enough.
Build HELE coal and gas fired power stations and start the transition to nuclear now!
BMAU000 Yes a ColdShower or two during a EuropeanWinter might straighten out their thinking, along with a few other things.
This 'crisis' was all planned as part of the so-called great reset.
Green 5cum, taking us back to the stone age
They had 20 years but thought depending on Russia was a good idea. Luckily Australia has its own gas and coal but should still take note and massively shift to solar, wind and batteries.
But Mah EV won't work.
Maybe everyone should ask why they need so much energy to survive in the first place?
George Galloway's comment comes to mind: We had coal mines & coal power plants but they flooded the mines & demolished the power plants, because our energy policy was written by a 12yo girl.
Hopefully politicians will realise that fossil fuels are not only dangerous to the planet, but also unreliable, as only a few countries control their supply. Solar energy on the other hand is free and readily available.
Trump was right.
All this for a fake climate crisis run by the mega rich of the world.
