Stupid, all that carbon for no need
Just goes to show how pathetic the sanctions are when Putin is still sent enough gas money every day to pay for his war.
Fecking waste of time and shooting ourselves in the foot half of this crap
We know Putin is only to happy to shoot down civilian planes, maybe he thinks NATO would do the same.

But reality. need the gas.
The Ukraine needs support and arent getting much from Germany yet some of the other eastern European countries have refused to pay in roubles. The question is why put sanctions on if you dont have any intention of enforcing them.
I accept it's not easy for them to sort the gas issue but so far to me it's just lip service

Yep, agree wholeheartedly. As I say its reality. Not pretty, is it! May well be remembered in the future - but if so what difference will it make. Buy a Quashqui rather than an AUDI A4 to register a protest!!!??

Are you suggesting that John Deere don't ring up the Ukrainian farmers and tell them when their tractors develop a cab suspension fault?

Pity Boris couldn't find a few roubles, may get a good deal for next winter save folk being cold
UK is awash with cheap gas. Cannot pump it into Europe quick enough. Its only UK consumers that are paying top dollar due to this stupid cap which is not based on current market price. If it was based on current market price we should actually be paying less now than the price at the end of March when all the bills went up.
