Are U.S. oil sanctions actually working? 🤔

Peter Magyar confirms: Fico’s power was built on a staged migration crisis orchestrated with Orban. By releasing 2,200 traffickers, they manipulated voters using classic Kremlin tactics. It’s now clear: Fico isn't just a politician; he’s Moscow’s last standing asset in the EU, surviving on sabotage

The #EU has renewed its pledge to phase out Russian #steel while preserving access for Ukrainian producers. Good. But the loophole remains: semi-finished #Russian steel can still enter until 2028. In 2025, Russia still supplied 41.8% of such imports. Deadlines must hold.

The "Oil Thaw" Ends: U.S. Closes the Window on Russian Fuel
A “medical equipment” brand inside #Rostec is helping arm #Russia’s war. Ukraine’s Defense Intelligence says #Shvabe enterprises make photodiodes for Iskander-M missiles, artillery components, rangefinders, and thermal optics. At least 30 units remain unsanctioned. #sanctions
A #Czech firm said it exited #Russia. Investigators say #Alta-linked entities kept servicing equipment for Uralvagonzavod and Motovilikha, central to Russia’s tank and artillery output. If confirmed, this is not an oversight but a #sanctions-busting scheme hiding behind paperwork.
Slovak Prime Minister Robert Fico congratulated the leader of the "Tysa" party, Peter Magyar, on his victory in the Hungarian elections, expressing his readiness to cooperate with the new government, primarily in the energy sector.
The Era of "Hybrid Contracts" Is Fading Away 🖋📉
Starting April 25th, Europe’s energy map will finally shed one of its most complex legal illusions. The new EU ban on signing or modifying Russian LNG contracts is more than just a technical update.

The UK is hunting the shadow fleet! Foreign Secretary David Cameron just signaled a new offensive: the UK and EU are preparing to "board and inspect" suspicious Russian tankers in the English Channel.
EU #sanctions said: leave #Alabuga by Jan. 25, 2026. Yet European-linked firms were still tied to Russia’s main #Shahed drone hub, and Western subsidiaries there paid $34M+ in taxes in 2025. Ukrainians get the explosions. #Russia gets the cash. #Europe gets a moral test.

In Bologna, #RT-linked #propaganda was repackaged as a “documentary festival”: local front, hidden venue, last-minute access, #Kremlin-linked content. This is how the network works in #Europe now: not only through channels, but through cultural events that normalize Russian narratives offline.
#Euronews investigation - how Russian #propaganda works in #Hungary: fake a fear story like “conscription,” dress it up as Euronews or Sky News-style reporting, push it through X, Facebook and targeted ads, then localize it in Hungarian and English to smear the opposition.
#Russia’s #oil & gas revenues fell 45% in Q1 2026, while spending jumped 17%. Budget #deficit already exceeds the full-year target. Falling prices hurt – but Ukrainian drone strikes slashed export capacity by up to 40%. #Sanctions + strikes = real pressure on Kremlin finances.
#German, #Japanese, & #Swiss-made machines are still fueling #Russia’s missile production. Despite international sanctions, 15 military enterprises remain unsanctioned, keeping Russian defense production alive. #Sanctions
Russian forces are using FPV #drones to hunt civilians in southern #Ukraine, striking buses and markets in Nikopol. #ISW calls it a “human safari”—a deliberate tactic to terrorize and halt movement. Not collateral damage. A war crime by design.
