Labour's Jonathan Reynolds MP says that the level of sanctions on Russia is "very significant", but a long-term switch away from Russian gas towards renewable energy is needed.

They armed Israel to the teeth with both jets and tanks when it got attacked by all the neighboring Arab states after declaring independence, why not give Ukraine the same? Because Russia has nukes? Come on, that can't prevent us from doing the right thing. Victory to Ukraine. 🖤🖤🖤💙💛☮

What is he saying? God I hate politicians. So many words and no actions. Maybe we should place him in Ukraine for 24 hours and then his words will tart to make sense.

The Hungarian election is worth keeping an eye on, and how much this conflict might change the political leanings of Eastern Europe.

But roubles are almost back to the pre-war level. Yes it is having an effect...

[colinblackie]

Has Sky News told anyone that the Russian Ruble has regained all its lost value

[clee]

why do these people suggest that producing more domestic oil isn't a solution to lowering oil prices. Oil produced for domestic use is still calculated in the global market. Which would reduce the price. This guy should be digging a ditch somewhere. Not making a fool out of himself. This is way over his head

[affy]

Yeah its having an effect on us to, please forget your egos look after the UK people

[zefiv]

We all feel the sanction effect in Europe, aren’t we?

[grayfullbusterchannel]

The Ruble rebounded. The sanctions are not doing as much as thought

Defunding these bad actors is just the right thing to do and in the end, it is good for solving the climate change problem, unfortunately, sacrifices have to be made in the short term, but all this should have been done decades ago, in any case, when completed the world will be a safer place for everyone, or at least I would hope so.

Last night .Russian gas giant Gazprom has officially halted all deliveries to Europe via the Yamal-Europe pipeline, a critical artery for European energy supplies. Instead of flowing toward Germany and the EU, gas supplies on Friday and Saturday started flowing in the opposite direction, according to Gascade, the network operator.

US still buying cheap uranium from, Russia, EU paying more than 1 billion euro per DAY for gas. Prices increased in Russia so yes sanctions have effect. But sanctions have effect in EU as well! probably same. and the truth is: an economically destructed or cornered Russia is not the inetrest of Europe surely not if the aim is peace in Europe.

Brexit is winning...Is all "Oha" wrote OR rather all "She" wrote. Unfortunately only the Labour party ends enthusiast don't seem to have a cue about what is going really going on !

[ratatajk]

USA's real objective might not just to weaken Russia, but EU. Remember that, EU being weaken is a plus for USA's economy. EU is after all was establish to counter USA's domination in market.
