3/6 Technical focus: naval mines as a tool of denial. Reports from #LloydsList suggest the deployment of naval mines to close standard lanes, forcing ships into this "controlled lane." A tactical move designed to weaponize maritime geography. 🏗️

3/6 L'architecture de cette crise repose sur l'usage de mines navales. Selon des rapports de #LloydsList, une douzaine de mines auraient été mouillées pour fermer l'accès naturel et créer ce goulot d'étranglement. Une "bombe" tactique pour paralyser le trafic mondial. 🏗️

EU sanctions plan will complete Russia’s shift into the shadow fleet The EU’s shift away from an oil price cap system that allowed compliant Russian trade to a complete ban is yet to be finalised and details need to be agreed. But if it is imposed it will mean that companies with a European nexus will not be lifting oil cargoes out of Russia

China’s warming view of Russian gas won’t unfreeze Arctic LNG 2 problems China’s first-ever cargo from Russia’s sanctioned Arctic LNG 2 plant last week looks like the start of a temporary unfreezing for the embattled flagship Russian Arctic LNG project.
