And here’s the cause of the train derailment: the rail just gave out 😄

Let’s go!!! ₽80 billion withdrawn from Russian banks on April 1-2. Running hard — hopefully accelerating. The reaction to the ‘white list’: only 5 of 300 banks made the cut. Small banks will start popping like soap bubbles.

Romanov is on a roll 😄 He’s reporting Pantsir systems are running low on missiles and Iskanders are making massive targeting errors. He might get in trouble for ‘discrediting’ the military 🤣

Russia’s share of EU LNG imports grew from 14% in 2025 to 17-18% in early 2026. [Author: Still just 17% — but Europe should stop buying Russian gas altogether] (2/2)

Russia’s LNG exports to Europe hit an all-time high. March 2026: +38% YoY to 2.5B cubic meters. Q1 2026: 6.8B cubic meters (+20% YoY). Driven by global gas price spike from Middle East escalation. (1/2)

OPEC+ will on Sunday consider further increasing oil production — Reuters sources. Very timely and relevant 😁 There is one small nuance: the Strait of Hormuz is a bit closed 😄

The April 1-15 Ust-Luga loading schedule will not be met. Kazakhstan’s 200-400K tons/month of KEBCO crude shipped via Ust-Luga is also affected. www.reuters.com/business/energy/russian-... (3/3)

At least 20% of total export capacity is out of action (peaked at 40% in March). Ust-Luga halted exports last week. Pipeline system is overloaded; storage is filling up. (2/3)
