Russia is the one mad - not Putin/Lavrov/ Medvedev https://youtu.be/r4eJvwtQJu4...
Putin even claimed were people whom he couldn't stop from invading other countries and therefore had to take urgent steps in respect to present rather than future when Russia could possibly obtain lethal enough - unsolvable for humanity a weaponry/problematic...man as seen here on video was to be used as one of them according to Putin's plan - one of excuses for Putin's actions if legal part would become a necessity for one due to number of war crimes committed in Ukraine.
This above listed "Putin as a good Samaritan of humanity" MK Ultra scenario with which I was also brainwashed indicated Putin wanting to LEGALLY present himself in light of German energy needs https://ausertimes.blogspot.com/2022/05/reality-and-fiction-of-so-called.html which completion of gas terminal PURCHASE in Russia alone could lead into German GAS wise energy control of entire European continent in the future(at the same time Putin avoiding war criminal prosecution) while as seen bellow MAIN STREAM MEDIA NEWS indicates(IN MANY WAYS CONFIRMS STATED ABOVE) a great degree of support for Putin's criminal actions from the side of the European Union which with 100% certainty knew all about coming war on Ukraine.
Lunatic Dmitry Kiselyov seen on video(a close friend of Putin) was inside of this very room on many occasions NEXT TO RUSSIAN PARTNERS FROM WEST and so it matters not all written on this page if Ukrainian state doesn't acknowledge one(THIS VERY ROOM I AM IN RIGHT NOW WRITING THIS) as THE MAIN FACTUAL PLAYER on the picture OF TOP GLOBAL POLITIC FOR THE PAST 28 YEARS as show will continue to go on and on and on...
Vladimir Putin a good human Samaritan who inherited completely insane post Soviet structure "bargaining" for complete annihilation of Russia and or Putin as NWO neonazi planner in complete agreement with West which is buying one time for onslaught of Ukraine !!???? FOR YOU ALL, I don't think it will make a whole a lots of difference because our common faith will be sealed for the sake of the same evil....
@UNITED STATES OF AMERICA - HOW ABOUT YOU RETURN US TROOPS BACK TO GERMANY TO NUMBERS PRIOR TO END OF THE COLD WAR !!?????
PUTIN INSISTED WILL USE NUCLEAR THREATS TO REMIND WEST OF NEW WORLD ORDER PACT THE TWO MADE IN RESPECT TO UKRAINE....
PRESENT GERMAN SUSTAINABILITY IN RESPECT TO RUSSIAN OIL/GAS PURCHASING MEANS NOTHING WHEN CONSIDERING SUPPLIES MADE PRIOR TO SANCTIONS AND SUMMER TIME ALONE ALREADY WAS UNDERMINED BY ITALY (BEFORE WINTER TIME THAT COMES AS NEXT, GERMANY MAY AGAIN SWITCH WITH ITALY AND SO ON AND SO FORTH)....IT APPEARS WE HAVE CERTAIN EU MEMBERS UNDERMINE COMMON EU GROUNDS IN RESPECT TO WAR IN RUSSIA AND THATS WHAT ITS ALL ABOUT - BUYING TIME TO RUSSIA AND EVEN AWARDING ONE FOR WAR CRIME AGAINST OTHERWISE EUROPEANS LOCATED IN SOME OTHER PART OF EUROPE...WESTERN OUTLETS TALK(BOAST LIKE INSANE) THESE DAYS ABOUT UKRAINIAN VICTORIES WHILE AT THE SAME TIME CRYYYYY ABOUT EVEN OLD SHIP THAT WAS SANK IN BLACK SEA THANKS TO US....BOAST ABOUT UKRAINIAN VICTORIES INCITING IN SCORN OF RUSSIAN MILITARY WHILE DESPERATELY GIVING OUT PUBLICLY ALL MILITARY SECRETS OF UKRAINE IN WAR AGAINST RUSSIA...
What else left for me to say to Russians other than wish a happy 9th of May on Moscow square...raping Ukrainian children and women who Putin claimed are Russians alone sure is the thing to do...and thats what real love is all about.
EXPLAINER: What’s the impact if Europe cuts off Russian oil?

The European Union's executive commission has proposed phasing out imports of Russian oil within six months. It is part of Europe's struggle to stop paying Russia $850 million a day for energy and hit the Kremlin's finances over its invasion of Ukraine. But reversing decades of dependence on Russian oil and natural gas is not a simple matter for the 27-nation bloc. For one thing, Hungary says it won't go along with a boycott, while Slovakia and Czech Republic are seeking a multiyear transition period. All are landlocked and big users of Russian oil. Here is what the oil sanctions could mean for people in Europe and the rest of the world:
HOW MUCH DOES EUROPE PAY RUSSIA FOR ENERGY?
Gas and oil have kept flowing even as governments denounce the war. The EU sends $450 million a day to Russia for oil and $400 million per day for natural gas, according to calculations by analysts at the Bruegel think tank in Brussels.
$2 for 2 months
That means energy revenue is bolstering the Kremlin's budget, adding to foreign currency reserves that could help Russia support the ruble and partly make up for Western sanctions that froze much of Russia's foreign currency reserves held outside Russia.
HOW MUCH RUSSIAN OIL GOES TO EUROPE?
Europe is the biggest purchaser of Russian crude, receiving 138 million tons in 2020 out of Russia's total exports of 260 million tons — or 53%, according to the BP Statistical Review of World Energy. Europe, which imports almost all of its crude, gets a quarter of its needs from Russia. Oil is refined into fuel for heating and driving as well as being a raw material for industry.
WHY IS THE FOCUS ON OIL INSTEAD OF NATURAL GAS?
It’s harder to find alternative sources of natural gas because it comes mainly by pipeline. It would be easier to find other sources for oil, which mostly moves by tanker and is traded globally. So a natural gas boycott is off the table for now. Heavy gas users like Germany say an immediate cutoff could cost jobs, with industrial associations warning of shutdowns in glass and metals businesses.
Cutting off both natural gas and oil would likely cause a recession in Europe, economists say.
WHAT COULD HAPPEN WHEN RUSSIAN OIL SUPPLIES STOP?
Europe imported 3.8 million barrels a day from Russia before the war. In theory, European customers could replace those barrels from suppliers in the Middle East, whose exports now mostly go to Asia, as well as from the United States, Latin America and Africa. Meanwhile, cheaper Russian oil could take the place of the Middle East shipments to Asia.
But it would take time to make that adjustment. New supplies would have to be found elsewhere. Several large refineries in central and Eastern Europe rely on oil from a Soviet-era pipeline and would have to find another way of getting oil to make gasoline and other products.
Bruegel analysts say that means European countries should be ready to impose measures to reduce fuel use, such as making public transport free and incentivizing car-sharing. If those measures don't work, tougher ones such as odd-even driving bans based on license plate numbers would be needed. Similar measures were taken during the 1973 OPEC oil embargo, when Germany imposed car-free Sundays.
Russia is a major supplier of Europe’s diesel fuel for trucks and farm equipment, meaning its price affects those for a wide range of food and goods.
EU governments also are gambling that Russia will not respond by turning off natural gas supplies to Europe. Russia has already cut off Bulgaria and Poland, ostensibly for refusing to pay in rubles.
WHAT COULD HAPPEN TO THE GLOBAL OIL MARKET?
Chances are that oil prices would go up for everyone because oil is a global commodity. That would mean higher prices at the pump and for home heating, less disposable income for consumers and be a drag on the economic recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic.
Russia would probably produce and export less oil after losing its biggest customer, Europe. That's because all of Russia's exports can't simply be redirected from nearby Europe to far-off Asia due to shipping and logistical constraints. It would mean a major reshuffling of the world's crude oil flows.
Buyers in India and China might avoid Russian oil if it means possible sanctions trouble with the West. And Western customers are already shunning Russian oil because they don’t want to be associated with the country or can't find insurers or banks willing to handle dealings with Moscow.
On the other hand, some Asian customers might jump at the chance to snap up discounted Russian oil. Especially if the sales are off the books, as appears to be happening in some cases.
The OPEC oil cartel led by Saudi Arabia — which sets production levels along with allied non-members like Russia — has made it clear it won’t increase output to make up for any supply loss from Russia due to a boycott. They meet again Thursday.
Rystad Energy expects a loss of 1.5 million to 2 million barrels per day and oil reaching $120 to $130 per barrel by year's end. A milder scenario, in which most Russian oil shunned by Europe is snapped up in other energy-hungry countries not taking part in the sanctions, would see a loss of 1 million barrels per day. Oil prices would drop below $100 by June and keep falling to $60 by year's end.
HOW MUCH WOULD A BOYCOTT COST RUSSIA?
Energy is the main pillar of the Kremlin's budget. The Russian government got an average of 43% of its revenue from oil and natural gas between 2011 and 2020.
While the price for Russia's main export benchmark to Europe, Urals crude, has been discounted by $35 a barrel compared with international benchmark Brent, Russia's revenue losses have so far been limited because of generally higher oil prices.
Those foreign currency earnings are helping prop up Russian finances amid sanctions.
The latest sanctions would likely to have a “significant impact” on Russia’s ability to keep funding the war because of its dependence on the European oil market, said John Lough, associate fellow with the Russia and Eurasia program at the Royal Institute of International Affairs in London.
"Further reductions of federal tax revenues on top of an already anticipated 5-10% decline in GDP from existing sanctions will have huge consequences for government spending across the board and may generate serious social discontent,” he said.
But he warned the embargo also carried risks: “A sharp rise in the oil price could mitigate the effects on the economy if Russia is able to divert crude to non-European markets.”
Meanwhile, Russia will try to exploit differences among EU countries, which could be worsened by high energy prices.
