Lithuania will no longer import Russian gas to meet its domestic needs, becoming the first country in Europe to have secured its independence from Russian supplies, the country's energy ministry said on Saturday.
All natural gas for Lithuanian domestic consumption will be imported via the liquified natural gas (LNG) import terminal in the port of Klaipeda, the ministry said in a statement.
"From this month on - no more Russian gas in Lithuania," Lithuanian President Gitanas Nauseda tweeted on Saturday, saying the country is breaking "energy ties with the aggressor".

I think the threat that kiryandil was referring to was explosion, rather than spill.
For example, somebody shooting a big storage tank on a LNG ship with a Javelin.
The only thing easy to spin up is your infinite ability to project your own emotional problems on others!
At what price. Sure you can buy $10.00 gasoline if you want.

LOL...but sorry, Japan is ALWAYS going to put JAPAN first.
Any and all sources. While also developing domestic sources to their optimal maximum. Do you have an issue with plentiful energy? Land, labour, agriculture and ENERGY. The raw ingredients of prosperity.
Not from enemy nations.
It is incredible how some freepers support Putin. I can get some don’t want to help Ukraine, but there is a massive gulf between “I don’t want to support Ukraine “ and the “yeah for Putin “ crowd
The EU accounts for 36% of Russian imports and 38% o Russian exports. But Russia accounts for less than 10% of the EU imports and exports.
Without EU trade Russia doesn’t have the tools to get the minerals out of the ground.
The EU imports Russian coal and timber EU they can preserve their own.
From any and all nations. Russia isn’t even much of an enemy. It’s a third world country with its own interests. Ukraine isn’t our ally, so if you’re using that as an argument think again.
And by the way we get all sorts of imports from enemy nations. China is a massive, peer competitor enemy that will kick America’s ass soon enough. Do we import anything from China, I can’t remember lol
No one “supports” Putin. Some admire his leadership style. That isn’t support for him or for Russia. Nor does that mean we should support Ukraine, it isn’t an ally nor part of the West. It’s the former Soviet union ffs.
I suspect we'll rue the day we allowed that, ... even right here in America, really Rue it.
Mass graves, rape and torture? What the heck are you talking about, you have evidence of this ? Not even close, you retrieved it from your anus. Now no doubt the ICC will allege some stuff and make up some “evidence”, but also largely untrue at least so far.
Even in Yugoslavia we still aren’t sure who did what. Much of what Serbia was blamed for was in fact Muslim, Bosnian and Kosovar atrocities. Mass graves full of Serbs were called graves of Muslims and so on. Read the Canadian general’s account who literally said “we bombed the wrong side”.
We need a neutral Ukraine, a partial Russian withdrawal, peace and Russian oil and gas. End the war and back to business.
Fake witness testimony? Fake photographs of the dead? Fake photographs of the graves that can be seen from space?
Yeah, fat chance you guys sweeping this one under the rug.
You may not, and by your posts that I have seen you aren’t.
However thats6not true for others.
Haven’t seen any such evidence yet pal. And satellite pics don’t prove WHO is in the grave and who put them there, let alone a war crime. You’re going to need to do better than that. At the end of the day, even if there are massive crimes 1) NATO isn’t the world police 2) Russia is a sovereign nation over which none has authority except Putin and 3) such crimes are not against the interests of America or the west.
Spare me the “we can’t let this happen”. YES WE CAN, and do. We let much worse things go on in China, Africa and other brutal places. More innocents have been killed in India’s terrorism problems or China’s Uighur concentration camps than all civilians that will ever die in the Ukraine war. The Ukes aren’t special because they’re European, what whites can’t suffer wars? Come on get real.
Puti wants a demilitarized Ukraine, meaning one he can slice off piece by piece.
You want a “partial” Russian withdrawal? Ie you are sanctioning conquering land by force
Maybe you should research “LNG explosion” and stop being obtuse.
They will never leave Crimea or the Donetsk. They may leave everywhere else if negotiations succeed. That’s what I meant by partial. As for conquering land by force you mean like Texas, parts of California etc? Absolutely do support it when warranted. But in this case we aren’t going to evict a nuclear power by force, so it’s more acquiescence than support.
I thought I was posting in this thread:

Yes there is evidence and it will be coming out in larger numbers over the following days and weeks as Ukrainians re-occupy these areas held by Russia.
As for your other bullshit , if you don’t care so much about Ukraine why hassle me about it? Mind your own business then and I’ll mind mine.
