Med VF:s politik polariseras det politiska fältet alltmera. Förhandlingarna om skuldbromsen har dock visat att möjligheterna till samarbete i mitten åter förstärks med möjlighet till en ekonomisk politik som räddar det väsentliga i den sociala välfärden och kraft att upprätthålla säkerheten.

Primorsk, one of Russia's two main Baltic oil terminals has been hit by Ukrainian drones.
Both a ship and pumping facilities damaged, operations (partly?) on halt. No oil spill.
Several 100kt tankers a day leave this facility with oil, fetching dollars.

Mycket bra! Europa kan, bara vi står eniga. ✊️
Missed this happy news last month: Europe already managed to largely fill the gap left by missing US aid to Ukraine by April this year.
The effort was mainly led by the Nordics & UK. Given that the Nordics are all small countries, this is yet another reminder never to underestimate the small ones !
