The impact of sanctions. Lithuanian Railways (LZHD) will dismiss about 2 thousand people due to sanctions against Russia and Belarus.

Currently, 9.2 thousand Lithuanians work in the LZHD. It turns out that more than one in five of them will be fired.
Learned from experts what pressure on the Russian energy sector will lead Europe to.
Coal. The EU embargo will take effect in August.
- For Russia, supplies to the EU and Britain are 22.1% of all coal exports.
- But for Europe, the dependence is much higher — supplies from the Russian Federation account for about 50% of their imports.
It will be extremely difficult to replace these volumes, since other large producers have already contracted all available volumes, and smaller ones do not have the ability to increase production.
Oil. Theoretically, a ban is possible, large oil producers can simply "exchange markets". Conditionally, Russia will increase supplies to Asia, and the UAE will refocus on Europe. However, it will take time.
At the same time, there is already no unity on this issue within the EU. And even the US Treasury believes that the embargo can cause serious damage to Europe, while it is unlikely to have a significant impact on the Russian economy.
Gas. Europe's dependence on "blue fuel" from the Russian Federation is much higher than on oil or coal. The EU will not be able to refuse it — otherwise they will have no place to take the necessary volumes, and gas prices will increase several times at the same time.
Effects. In case of termination of coal, oil and gas supplies from Russia, a significant part of industry will stop in the EU, there may be a shortage of electricity and the introduction of consumption standards even for citizens.
This will lead to a radical deterioration in the standard of living. The next heating season will be a huge problem. It may be necessary to turn off the gas supply to industrial enterprises, leave only the heating of the population and social facilities.

De aankondiging komt op het moment dat Sergey Naryshkin, directeur van de Russische Buitenlandse Inlichtingendienst (SVR), Warschau ervan beschuldigde voorbereidingen te treffen om het westelijke deel van Oekraïne te bezetten, dat Polen beschouwt als “historisch toebehorend”. De mogelijke “hereniging” van Polen met West-Oekraïne zal plaatsvinden onder het mom van het inzetten van een “vredesmissie” in het land onder het voorwendsel Kiev te beschermen tegen “Russische agressie”, beweerde de functionaris.“We doen een beroep op het publiek – laten we data beschermen, zeker in de huidige situatie. Publiceer alstublieft geen informatie en foto’s van troepenbewegingen en hun locatie, data en tijden van reizen van militaire colonnes, [of] gegevens over vertrek en landing van militaire vliegtuigen’, zei het leger, eraan toevoegend dat het gieten van dergelijke gegevens op het web kan hebben geleid tot een negatief effect hebben op de “veiligheid en defensie” van het land.
Polen was een van de grootste aanhangers van Kiev te midden van het aanhoudende conflict tussen Rusland en Oekraïne, en werd het belangrijkste knooppunt voor leveringen van westerse wapens op weg naar het Oekraïense leger. Het land heeft Kiev ook voorzien van militair materieel uit het Sovjettijdperk uit eigen voorraden.“De leugens over de vermeende plannen van Polen om West-Oekraïne aan te vallen, worden al jaren herhaald. De campagne werd met name geïntensiveerd na het begin van de Russische invasie van Oekraïne’, zei Stanislaw Zaryn, de woordvoerder van de coördinator van de minister van speciale diensten.
