Putin has obviously decided to continue the war. Europe is impotent in that they need Russian energy and are practically disarmed, only Trump can push Russia. I’m not sure how much capital he’ll use on Ukraine.
Russia - Ukraine Peace Talks
- Thread starter onthebottom
- Start date
It looks like the West tried to assassinate Putin yesterday. I think negotiations are over and the violence of this war is going to vastly increase. Word is Russia has been training 2 addition armies to deploy this summer. So they will go from 620K to 1.5M men vs about 250K AFU.
Just a matter of time before Europe crawls back to Putin begging
for renewal of supply cheap Russian gas.

Europe’s Natural Gas Prices Rise on Supply Outage in Norway
May 26, 2025
Dutch TTF Natural Gas Futures, the benchmark for Europe’s gas trading, jumped by 2.2% at trade open in Amsterdam on Monday, before easing some gains to trade 1.2% higher at 11:30 a.m. local time.
The rise at the start of this week extends four consecutive weeks of weekly gains in European gas prices as the market is reacting to unplanned supply disruptions at a time when Europe races with time – and with Asia – to refill gas storage sites ahead of the 2025/2026 winter.
The unplanned cuts to Troll’s capacity in the North Sea comes ahead of planned extensive maintenance season at several Norwegian gas fields, which will reduce pipeline supply to Europe in the summer.
Currently, Norwegian gas supply is somewhat restricted as there is planned maintenance at the Nyhamna processing plant and the Aasta Hansteen field.
Thus, European countries will have to rely on more LNG cargoes to bring natural gas to the continent.
Last year, Troll produced record-high volumes of natural gas, up by 10% compared to the previous high from 2022, the field operator Equinor said early this year.
“With record-high production in 2024, the Troll field confirms its position as a pillar of Europe's energy security. The field contributes to a stable gas supply for millions of households and is important for European industry,” Kjetil Hove, Equinor's executive vice president for Exploration & Production Norway, said at the time.
Traders and analysts will be watching closely the pace of Europe’s storage refills in the coming months, as well as LNG demand in Asia and whether North Asian demand would rise and potentially compete for spot cargoes with Europe.

the west to too broad a term, had the US wanted him dead he’d be dead. That’s a great way to start a world war.
