Nearly two months since Moscow’s invasion, Kyiv is still bearing the brunt of Western Europe’s dependence on Russian oil.
Ukraine has continued to transport close to one-third of Russian gas to the European Union through its network of pipelines, as western leaders struggle to break their dependence on Russian energy, putting Ukrainians at risk to maintain the same infrastructure that keeps their enemy afloat.
“Even inside of Ukraine it is very difficult to explain,” Naftogaz CEO Yuriy Vitrenko told The Washington Times in an interview. “It’s almost two months into the war. They’re killing innocent people and you read these horror stories. But at the same time, we’re transmitting Russian gas.”

Facts like this article points to... make it obvious this whole war is about oil.

The war is a scam.
The Europeans don’t want to completely crater their own economies.
The effects of sanctions are bad enough already.
Because 1.81% of the world attacked 0.56% of the world, we seem intent on screwing up 100% of the global economy.
Russian oil and gas exports are nearly unchanged since before the war except now they are getting a lot more per barrel than before the war.
This war is being funded by us at the gas pumps so our leaders can strut around and posture, make threats and act strong while innocent people die.
There's more to it then meets the eye.
Sounds like a good way to create a need for a "Reset"
Those of us who have been pointing this out have been called "Putin lovers" on this site.
It is not that anyone on FR supports Putin. It is that many of us do not trust the information we are being fed because that information is being carefully controlled and orchestrated.
Worse, the Biden Regime of The Unelected continues to negotiate with the Iranians using the Russians to make a deal favorable to Russian oil.
“Because 1.81% of the world attacked 0.56% of the world, we seem intent on screwing up 100% of the global economy.”
The world economy is a delicate machine.
Wars are not about winning. Wars are about who loses more.
Wars use up excess capital and population.
btt
Yup.
Wars almost always are a scam.
Military Industrial Complex, anyone?
Ukraine ought to blow the gas line in a way to blame the Russians. That would get Europes attention fast and hurt Russias income big time.
this war is worse than a scam as those globalists don’t have nice things planned for us.
First, that would be in keeping with the rest of the dishonesty we have seen in coverage of this war.
Second, it would cripple Europe's economy overnight while Russia would continue to sell oil to China, India, Turkey and others....in other words, your plan sucks.
Finally, it would spike world oil prices to nearly $300 per barrel, collapsing our economy as well and paving the way for The Great Reset.
Crack any history book and you’ll see that the loud mouth clowns (the globalist Freepers in this case) always end up with egg on their face. Being objective and pointing out the truth always brings the ire of the fanatics, disingenuous and ignorant.
It is not that anyone on FR supports Putin.
***Oh, we’ve seen plenty of putinista support on this site.
I agree.
The schwab/Soros loving trolls on this site have been irritating with their leftist sourced propaganda.
