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 EU and the US are considering increasing aid to Ukraine because Russia is getting stronger and they want to end the war with a victory for Ukraine. Russia has issued warnings and if things do not stop, it is very likely that a bigger war will break out and the risk of World War 3 is getting closer. I really fear that 2023 will be a very bad year for us.
I actually believe that maybe even very sure that gas, oil is one of the triggers for a war that will continue to be prolonged, because an embargo will be rewarded with an embargo and all activities of any kind can be sure that there will be retaliation.
it is clear that both sides will always be assisted by their allies as well and that cannot be prevented anymore, all of this obviously eventually leads to a situation that becomes uncertain and difficult to predict in the future.
really don't really believe that all their allies who have been helping all this time really hope that the problem of the Russian invasion of Ukraine will trigger WW3. because they know that if this happens, world civilization will experience something unimaginable due to the effects of weapons of destruction.
actually the negotiating table is the best way but it always fails to happen, many have tried to make it happen. because by negotiating to seek mutual change with the aim of mutual benefit is the best solution.
as worried as you are, friends, that 2023 will be a time that will make this problem worse, as bad as the world economic crisis situation.
but I am always optimistic that there will be significant changes in the future even though many doubt it.
