MOSCOW BLOG: Ukraine’s kinetic war in stalemate, but the economic war is escalating The mounting energy crisis is not only unsettling consumers, worried over big bills, we are already starting to see a real-world impact. There are more and more reports of plants shutting down because they are no longer economically viable with energy prices up ten-fold. The latest is the Slovalco aluminium plant in Slovakia. Another is Chimcomplex, the largest chemical complex in Romania, which has stopped working this week. There will be a lot more. Even the German economy could be gutted from this problem which is why German industrialists are freaking out. intellinews.com/moscow-blog-ukraine-s-kinetic-war-in-stalemate-but-the-economic-war-is-escalating-254045/?source=blogs
Torm CEO: Product tanker will do well for a longer period – "It's not just a blip" Europe still sources roughly 50% of its oil import from Russia, but this will shift dramatically toward Feb. 1, 2023, when new EU sanctions enter force.

Operating Energy Systems in a War-Torn Country: DTEK Prepares for Winter DTEK is by exporting power. Timchenko said the company is exporting about 250 MW of capacity to Slovakia and Romania...about 220 MW to Poland. But the biggest question mark for all these forecasts, according to Timchenko, is the operation of Zaporizhzhya nuclear power plant (NPP). The station is the largest nuclear power plant in Europe with a capacity of 6,000 MW. .. “Based on our forecast, even if the Zaporizhzhya NPP will not be operating, and during winter season we will have enough capacity to meet demand inside of Ukraine. But in this scenario, we cannot do any export of electricity, at least during fourth and first quarter, and at some periods, we will need to use either more gas or do even import of electricity at some volume. powermag.com/operating-energy-systems-in-a-war-torn-country-dtek-prepares-for-winter/

Double-digit eurozone inflation is within touching distance Supply shocks continue to plague the eurozone economy, causing inflation to show few signs of abating in the short run.

I hope all the energies will be even more expensive. It will lead to much more hatred of Russia. Every european must experience discomfort and smaller gains. Then we point the finger at Russia. It will be best shitshow of my life.
