I’m going to summarize an interview with Greens MEP @ViolavonCramon in English here on how Germany came to be dependent on Russian gas, because it’s politically important and interesting. I hope I have everything right:

(THREAD)
- Certain people wanted to make Germany on Russian gas and thus dependent on Russia in terms of security policies/foreign policies

- “Everyone in Berlin” knew that Nord Stream 1 and 2 were about politics as much as cheap gas but pretended otherwise, using fancy concepts
- In the state of Lower Saxony, (Schröder’s) SPD was the driving force for this

- At a federal level, the Foreign Ministry, the Economics Ministry and the secret services were all involved to varying degrees

Unbelievable scenes at the funeral of anti-corruption activist and soldier Roman Ratushnyi, allegedly executed by the Russians near Izyum. Over a thousand people turned out to mourn him on the Maidan in central Kyiv, as the air-raid sirens wailed and dozens stood sobbing.
At Baykove Cemetery, where Kyiv’s great and good are buried, Roman’s father Taras and his mother Svitlana said goodbye to Roman, who was just 24 when he died.
You had to admire the grief and poise of both of his parents, as they mourned their son before a City. People chanted “thank you to the Ratushnyis” over and over again.

Confirming Julian’s reporting that Russian troops have been pulling out of Bucha, outside of Kyiv.
Cannot confirm the pullout is complete
Military sources said that as late as last night Russians were still holding some positions, and not pulling out entirely. Believe that some will be left to fight to the death.
