So the EU have "reached a deal"...............
Small print: "The ban will only affect oil that arrives by sea but not pipeline oil, following opposition from Hungary, and no sanctions on Russian gas exports to the EU have been put in place".
Russian oil: EU agrees compromise deal on banning imports
The latest round of EU-wide sanctions excludes pipeline oil imports after Hungary opposed a total ban.

The huge elephant in the room is the amount of Gas imported by the likes of Germany and Italy, the EU is trying desperately not to talk about that. Ukraine has no chance in defending itself while the Russian killing machine continues to be funded by the sale of gas.
If they’re going to stop the gas then there’s no better time than the summer months to force Russia’s hand!

All these EU countries acting like sovereign states looking after their own interests? Are you sure?

I doubt anyone has ever missed the point more than you have just done.Well, this response really wasn’t a surprise
Of course, it it was the U.K. you would be critical of a complete lack of investment and foresight, causing too much reliance on Russia.
Why do you hate us so much?

Think one of our sniper boys snuck out there.
There is a renowned Canadian sniper I think.

But it wasn't him as he is back.

Very worrying. This is the kind of time you really don’t need a c**t like Boris in charge.

Yes worrying, but he didn`t make them go did he?
Likewise, they are adults who know the risk.

Both were already there as they lived in Ukraine for years before the war started iirc.

Will Russia use them as leverage?
Maybe ask for any Russian prisoners in return for them?
