Recently, Russia has been transferring military equipment from the Leningrad region to Ukraine. At the same time, Russian officials publicly claim that they face threats of attack from Europe. However, the coverage highlights that these statements aim to justify Russian aggression and distract from the country's real actions in Ukraine.
The United States is pressing Europe to stop purchasing Russian oil and gas, linking its own sanctions policy to such a decision. This puts European countries in a difficult position, as ongoing purchases continue funding the Russian economy.
Within the European political sphere, there is ongoing debate over support for Ukraine. For example, the opposition Greens in Germany have urged the government to increase financial aid to Ukraine by an additional 4.5 billion euros. In Norway, most political parties support further assistance for Kyiv.
Russia, meanwhile, continues to use narratives about threats from Finland and the West to exert informational pressure and disguises other actions—such as jamming civilian aircraft GPS signals, creating direct risks for passengers.
The issue of corruption linked to energy markets is also discussed. The article notes clear links between the financial interests of some European political groups and their pro-Russian positions, and stresses the need to end dependence on Russian money in politics, the economy, and culture.
The author calls for decisive action: to stop financing Russia's military with European funds, strengthen sanctions, seek alternative energy sources, and maintain international resolve regarding the situation.
The article concludes by asking readers whether Europe will stop buying Russian energy, why this issue is still unresolved, and by urging support for Ukraine and ongoing vigilance about safety.
