Baltic nations switch from Russian power grid to EU network • FRANCE 24 English
The three Baltic states on Saturday cut ties with Russia’s power grid to join the European Union’s network, the culmination of a years-long process that gained urgency with Moscow’s invasion of Ukraine. Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania – all former Soviet republics that are now in the European Union and NATO – had wanted to block Russia’s ability to geopolitically blackmail them via the electricity system.

Trump has everyone acting like an adult.
It's always these small countries trying to look bold
You hear green energy this green energy that. Yet when summer heat or winter cold comes, everyone needs GAS 😂 by human simply existing on earth, we are destroying it. The answer is not that simple.
The second these countries don’t say or do exactly what these ridiculous Western European countries tell them too, that’s when you’re gonna see some real “geopolitical blackmail”..
Long live Russia 🇷🇺
texas and California will gain independence
They have already switched. The news after 20 years.😂😂
The Communist Power Grid Wasn’t Working
Wow, the energy that Europe makes comes from Russia. So now, they got to pay for the energy to get to Europe, Europe to make it and sell it back to them at a 30% mark up. The same Europe that is going bankrupt.
The Latvians recognize that the Russians are not their friends.
There was a time when the Baltic states had been connected to what had then been the Soviet power grid but it’s understandable why those countries decided to disconnect from the Russian power grid.
Good for you guys. Don't let Russia dictate you guys.
Well done more of kind of things
Unity of Baltic state and Nato.
Well done
Can all you Russians out here stop using YouTube and switch to your own countries services? You really aren’t helping the reputation of your country.
Where’s the smooth brained USSR lovers at
Lol stupid stupid people. You will regret this decision
😂😂😂
A fart in the wind.
Way to go!! Bravo. Do not ever trust Russia again
putins useless war
Great step forward.
Good job guys.
Let them pay more.
lol Estonia owes so much to Russia and the czar. They’re butthurt over Soviet Union, but it was literally the west that handed them over to Soviet Union…..
And watch their bills skyrocket 😂
German electricity prices have seen significant fluctuations in recent years, with notable increases during the energy crisis of 2022. As of April 1, 2024, households with basic supplier contracts were paying around 46 cents per kilowatt-hour, making it the most expensive option compared to other providers or special contracts.
Russia: Well, guess we know who we are invading next
Great! Continue to do so in your countries to incur high cost to every household. Somehow, behind the supply chain, it is still supplied by Russia . Dumb S Baltic Nations will shut down N retrench jobs.
They’re paying 3times as much now
😂 useless
I’m surprised those countries can’t produce their own electricity
You go, guys! Much respect, from an Oklahoman in the USA.
In the middle of winter huh?
Its About time..
Take that Russia! That will teach them.
I hear it's not going well. 300% price increase in 10 days 🎉
But putting it in one grid you are more susceptible to being blackmailed should have kept options open for both since politics change

It gained momentum 10 years ago 😂🇺🇸
Making power expensive in their own country.😂😂😂😂😂

And yes prices of electricity already gone up
