“Russia’s recent steep cuts in natural gas flows to the EU mean this is the first month in history in which the EU has imported more gas via LNG from the US than via pipeline from Russia,” IEA Executive Director Fatih Birol said in a tweet.

2/3
The EU in March agreed on an additional 15 billion cubic meters of US LNG this year in a bid to displace Russian gas.

Russia ships about 150 billion cubic meters of gas to Europe via pipelines every year, and another 14 billion to 18 billion cubic meters of LNG.

Thread: Two thirds of #Russia's regions entered #recession already in April 2022.

Hello @Reuters @ReutersUK.

Your reporting here is really poor. These are not "pro-Moscow authorities" of Kherson region in south Ukraine but the Russian occupation administrators. Please use the correct designations.

Ever heard of fact checking?

You name Kirill Stremousov a "deputy head of the Military-Civilian Administration". He is a local blogger and imposter. Ukrainian prosecutors initiated a criminal case against him on treason charges.

Honestly, @GuyReuters, I expected more scrutiny of Russian propaganda from you. TASS is a Russian propaganda outlet, it is NOT a genuine information provider.

THREAD. In #Russia, the authorities are reportedly circulating a memo to all government-controlled or state-owned entities / firms, to explain the official position on the Russian #war on #Ukraine to workers / employees.

1) The “military operation” is a preventive measure in order to prevent the full-scale aggression against Russia that is being prepared by Ukraine.
2) There was a real threat that Ukraine would use missile, nuclear and biological weapons against Russia.

3) Our cause is right. Russia does not start, but ends the 8-year war.
4) Pollster VTsIOM data show the support of the absolute majority of Russians.

In eastern #Ukraine, the #Russia|n proxy #DPR militias use this advert for recruiting militants.

Two items to note.

1) The photo was stolen from Norway’s armed forces @KonNorway
2) The advert promises facilitation in acquiring Russian passports.
Proof re Norwegian armed forces:

3) The promised pay is $317 per month or just $10.5 per day.

Absolutely meagre income.
