1. Gee, that’s a real shame.

2. Someone mentioned here that this has repercussions in the petroleum extraction part of the supply chain. If they have to turn off a pump in the tundra because they have no refinery capacity, the pump or pipeline freezes up and cannot be restarted. Is there a better description or am I not fully understanding the issue?

3. Let’s put another shrimp on the barbie!

4. Neat.

5. Don’t worry Germanys Scholtz will send part’s…

6. Bro wtf is this fake ahh news?? There exists no other news source to corroborate this one. Additionally the Russian economy has been one of the fastest growing economies in Europe this year and in 2023. (https://www.bbc.com/news/business-68823399.amp), as well as having record low unemployment rates(https://tradingeconomics.com/russia/unemployment-rate). If these facts exist it just points to the Russian oil and gas export industries are in fact growing, and thus this news source is pretty much 100% fake or just misleading. Maybe 3 refineries are closing due to being outdated or smth like so, but the news article mentions none of that, and contradicts the aforementioned facts. Its just fake and I want people to be more critical whilst reading a news source for I see many in the comments have just chosen to accept it blindly.

7. They must be champing at the bit to get Trump back into office so he can start working for the Russian people again.

8. It’s not just a message for Russia. It’s for all Europe.

   >In 2021, it [Russia] was the largest exporter of oil and natural gas to the European Union, (90%)[1][2] and 40% of gas consumed in the EU came from Russia.[3][4]
