It is still summer, but Ukraine is preparing a gas attack against Europe. Yes, the weather is hot, people are sunbathing on the beaches and no one thinks that, by all the rules of "war", we might be faced with a really “cold” winter, because on August 14, Ukraine adopted a law that considers the possibility to introduce a package of sanctions against the Russian Federation - blocking the assets of individuals, withdrawal of licenses of companies and banks, and most importantly, limiting the transit of Russian gas.
The passage of the Russian gas through Ukraine has thrown Brussels into a serious deliberation for the simple reason that now natural gas is received by fifteen member states of the EU, some of them (like Bulgaria) are totally dependent on supplies through Ukraine.
The first countries to suffer will be Turkey, Bulgaria and Greece. “Gas-starved” will be also Slovakia, Austria, Italy, Croatia and Hungary. Italy receives gas from other sources as well, but will it be able to increase these supplies?
Let’s take for example the Eastern Partnership program whose implementation in Ukraine became a catalyst for the socio-political and economic crisis on the borders of the EU. Instead of maintaining the economy of the south in the EU, Brussels is now forced to channel financial flows to Ukraine.
The "stirring up" of "social revolutions" has led to the creation of an Islamic Caliphate. The Syrian pseudo-revolution turned against those who started it. As reported by the Lebanese newspaper As-Safir, militants from the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL) abducted from her own clinic in the eastern province of Deir ez Zor, Dr. Rou’aa Diab. She was beheaded only because she was treating men. The absurdity of the cruel punishment is obvious, given that the specialty of the victim was dentistry. By the way, those who have established control over this part of Syria forbid women to go to male doctors under pain of death.
The killer of the American journalist James Foley speaks perfect English with a London accent. He is probably one of the main guards caring for kidnapped Westerners who are held in the city of Raqqa, the bastion of Islamic State in Syria.
Victims of the "fighters", no matter from where - Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant, the Free Syrian Army, Islamic Front or other illegal armed groups are not only Syrians. The terrorists from Islamic state reported that they had captured Japanese journalist Haruna Yukawa, accusing him of spying. This person works for the "rebels", more precisely - for the Islamic Front. He is not the only one who supports the Syrian pseudo-revolution, but he was already forced to swallow the bitter fruits.
We all know who to blame for the fact that the world has ceased to be a good place to live. This is no longer so important. The main thing on the agenda before the international community is to unite their efforts in ending the crisis in Ukraine and against Islamic State and other jihadist structures. On these matters, coordination of the European Union with Moscow is more useful than the ultimate showdown and the “clatter” of weapons.
