I would love to know who the new gas supplies to Europe are. I still haven't seen such news, maybe I missed it? As far as I know, Germany is building 4 more LNG import ports and will come into operation to reduce dependence on Russian natural gas. Besides, EU countries will reopen nuclear power plants. While Russia and China are building the gas pipelines will soon be operational, the Asian market will be the new market that Russia targets.
Falling oil prices will affect the entire OPEC+ bloc, not just Russia, so it is too early to say that it is having a negative impact on Russia. Let's wait and see the next move of OPEC+.


I think with Belarus joining Russia - and China too
And UK, France, Germany and Poland joining Ukraine - this war will take a different turn - it will surely spread to the other countries and will create more desatster than only the discussed gas and oil issue

The President of the Republic of Belarus Alexander Lukashenko, in my opinion, really does not want the troops of Belarus to participate in direct hostilities on the territory of Ukraine.  Alexander Lukashenko is a very experienced politician, a very cunning person who can pretend to be a simpleton, but always achieves his political goals. 

Based on this, most likely, the military personnel of the Republic of Belarus will not participate in combat clashes with Ukrainian military personnel. 

The UK, France and Germany will also not send their troops to Ukraine. 

As for Poland, it can send detachments of volunteers to participate in hostilities (such a scenario cannot, in my opinion, be ruled out).
