Fortunately the remedies remain mostly the same, whether they genuinely were accidents or not. Confiscate the ships, try the crews, and auction anything valuable found to cover the damages unless the crew or ship owners fork out enough cash. Should stop the incidents eventually either way.

9:09 AM this morning all three Baltic states disconnected from the Russian IPS/UPS system. Tests are being performed today (50% done at the moment) and tomorrow we join the Continental European grid. Oil in 2006, gas in 2014, electricity 2025. Looks like we're free. #energysky #baltics #russia

EUROPE’s summer-winter gas calendar spread has marched deeper into backwardation as traders anticipate the region will have to pay much higher prices to refill storage in the summer of 2025 than it did in the summers of 2024 and 2023.

END OF AN ERA: Russia's oldest gas export route to Europe halted For over five decades, Europe benefited from a (relatively) steady flow of Russian gas via pipelines in Ukraine. That deal has now expired While that won't trigger shortages in Europe, it does mark a historic shift Thread🧵

This sanctioned Russian LNG shipment traveled around the world looking for a buyer. Now it's giving up🚢 🇷🇺 A dark fleet tanker loaded gas at Arctic LNG 2 in August. It just docked at a Russian port to likely put the gas into storage 🇺🇸 Buyers dont want to break US restrictions

Baltics planned to decouple from Russian Electric network on Feb 2025. Severed ESTLINK2 between Finland and Estonia is direct current. So not directly contributing to network stability, but having enough power reserves from abroad will be important to baltics. elering.ee/en/baltic-ts...

Yeah, this looks like a perfect match. And not just because it was right there at the right time but because it didn't just sail through with steady velocity like Xin Xin Tian 2 seems to have done.

Excellent quick summary on the status quo in the #Baltic #Sea region. I would have chosen even harsher language to describe the inability to cooperate not only between PL-DE, but btw Baltics as well. Yeah, #EnergySky, this is what is happening in the Baltic Sea region energy-wise at the moment.

Here's Russian state media admitting that Assad's job was to make sure no pipelines went through Syria into Turkey so that all that cheaper Saudi and Qatari LNG never hurt Russia's gas monopoly, the one Putin lost anyway by invading Ukraine.

Overly dramatic, but Gazprom is losing it's last clients, so who other than certain Bloomberg journalists will bring the drama. Otherwise - yes, seems to be the first anomalously cold start to the heating season since Putin's friends went from FA to FO.

In many ways, the alleged ICBM strike appears primarily intended to restore intimidating integrity to its nuclear strong-arming tactics, which normally require demonstrating will and ability to follow up threats with action. Putin's hitherto 'all bark and no bite' modus operandi is not it
