I didn't say natural resources don't require human labor to extract and cultivate. Gold mines are usually not on the surface either. Energy work can be backbreaking and dangerous. Having said that, oil is still a resource that God provided to mankind for free, like many, to the earth. Psalm 24:1 says it is all His.

As for Russia and Ukraine, Bloomberg is reporting the same thing, as is ABC. There are conflicting reports, as the Russian gas minister is reassruing Ukraine even as there are reports that shipments should go through Turkey instead.

That article does not come close to the claim:

Russia has cut off all gas going through Ukraine to Europe

That article is talking about a gas pipeline, not yet built, that will be routed to Turkey and stopping there, rather than the original intent to route south of Ukraine and continue to Europe.

It is not built, and it is not going to be anywhere near large enough to carry all the gas that Russia currently sends to Europe.
