MOSCOW, Jan 23 (Reuters) - The Baltic Sea port of Ust-Luga was exporting crude oil and fuel on Tuesday apart from at Novatek's (NVTK.MM)
, opens new tab terminal which remained closed after being damaged by fire, according to data from LSEG and industry sources.
Novatek said on Sunday it had been forced to suspend some operations at the huge Baltic Sea fuel export terminal and "technological processes" at its fuel-producing complex due to a fire, started by what Ukrainian media said was a drone attack.
Analysts believe it will take weeks to restart large-scale operations at the complex and the terminal.
The giant port of Ust-Luga, located on the Gulf of Finland about 170 km (110 miles) west of St. Petersburg, ships a wide range of goods, including oil and gas products, to international markets.
Its facilities include one terminal for crude oil exports and three terminals for handling fuel shipments, including Novatek's terminal.
According to LSEG data, 5.2 million tons of naphtha were shipped to Asia in 2023 from the port of Ust-Luga, of which 2.8 million tons originated from Novatek's terminal.
Les milliards de dollars d'aide n'auront pas suffi ; la contre-offensive ukrainienne a échoué. Espérant maintenir les flux financiers en provenance des capitales occidentales, Kiev présente son agresseur comme une puissance coloniale qui menacerait l'Europe entière. Revenir sur l'histoire de l'empire russe et la place singulière qu'y occupe l'Ukraine invite à questionner cette idée.
US Secretary of State Antony Blinken is pressuring European diplomats to cease any talks about Ukraine joining NATO, according to a member of Rada (the Ukrainian parliament), Oleksiy Goncharenko. This is no minor politician. The son of a former Odessa mayor, he is a member of the Ukrainian Permanent Delegation to the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe (PACE). The allegations were publicly made in a series of texts posted in his Telegram channel (in Ukrainian). He wrote: “Unfortunately, there will be no NATO [for Ukraine]. Forget about it – it won’t happen.” Goncharenko claims that “several sources” in Washington told him the topic of Ukraine’s accession to the Atlantic Alliance “annoys the US elite” and even “after war” the country should not expect it.

The Real History of the War in Ukraine: A Chronology of Events and Case for Diplomacy
By Jeffrey D. Sachs * – The Kennedy Beacon
Kommentar av JW: "Tyvärr missar han den händelse som innebar att balanserandet på ravinkanten resulterade i att man ramlade ner - EUs erbjudan om associationsavtal på villkor att Ukraina bröt alla avtal med Ryssland. Vilket tvingade alla i Ukraina att välja antingen eller, och börja inbördeskrig om detta. Det handlar väl om Sachs' lite olyckliga USA-fixering, en fixering som tyvärr delas av många europeer."
I en artikel på webbtidningen Meer anklagar Michael von der Schulenburg, f.d. vice generalsekreterare i FN, EU för att driva en ännu mer krigsaktivistisk politik än USA. USA håller ibland tillbaka, men det gör inte EU. Europa kommer att få betala dyrt för den politiken, säger Schulenburg. Artikeln i sin helhet: Kommer kriget i Ukraina… (översatt från https://www.meer.com/en/74782-will-the-ukraine-war-be-the-undoing-for-the-european-union)
