BREAKING:

Gazprom has declared force majeure on gas supplies to Europe to at least one major customer (Germany) starting June 14.

The company has thus decided to void itself from all contractual obligations.

Gas will stop flowing to Germany through Nord Stream 1 indefinitely.
Remember the classic German response to the warnings Ukraine, Poland and the Baltic States about what Russia would use the pipeline for?

Merkel always responded “it’s an economic project, not a political one”.

According to an article in Die Welt, Scholz, Macron and Draghi were pressuring Zelensky behind closed doors to resume negotiations with Russia.

The Western European leaders believe that a protracted war is causing an economic slowdown and inflation in their countries.
The article by Christoph B. Schiltz is worth a read.

As Mr Schiltz pointed out, “firstly, Italy has already outlined a peace plan three weeks ago and is stepping up its pace.” Secondly, he continued, “the most important European countries, such as Germany and France, under various pretexts cannot decide whether to supply weapons”

Marko Mihkelson, Head of the Estonian Parliament’s Foreign Affairs Committee, has called Scholz and Macron “braindead” for making constant phone calls to Vladimir Putin.

"It is incredible how France & Germany are inadvertently paving the way for new acts of violence by Russia.”
“Macron and Scholz's 80-minute phone call with Putin today makes one paraphrase the former – is this not a case of being braindead, Mihkelson said.

Macron famously called the NATO alliance “braindead” a few years ago, in a statement that was viewed as undermining the alliance.
Mihkelson admitted that while his criticism of allies is sharp, efforts to legitimize the person who unleashed the war and is responsible for the crimes committed place allies everywhere at risk.

"How is it possible neither Paris nor Berlin have learned from history?”
