The EU outlined a plan on Tuesday to cut Russian gas imports by two-thirds within a year as it seeks to reduce its dependency on the country’s fuel supplies after Moscow’s invasion of Ukraine.
[…]
The commission’s proposed saving is double that suggested by the International Energy Agency last week in its 10-point plan, and comes as gas prices hit record levels on rising global demand and the possibility of Russia cutting off supplies. The proposal also relies on curbing energy usage, by lowering thermostats and improving household insulation.

Democrats plan to move on Russia bill in US House tomorrow after vote count was uncertain Tuesday
From CNN’s Manu RajuThe US House will now move on a bill to clamp down on Russia tomorrow after House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said earlier that the bill would come to the floor tonight.
The reason for the change: They had originally tried to approve it under “suspension of the rules,” which requires two-third support to pass. But a Democratic leadership aide says that Republicans would not commit to giving them enough votes to get the bill through under suspension.
So they now plan to move the bill under a rule tomorrow so it can pass with a simple majority.
Following US President Joe Biden’s announcement today that his administration is banning Russian energy imports, Pelosi said in a letter to colleagues that the House would vote on a bill that follows similar steps. The bill would ban imports of Russian energy, take steps to scrutinize Russia’s role in the World Trade Organization, and reauthorize the Magnitsky Act to strengthen sanctions on Russia.
What is the Magnitsky Act? The act, signed into law in December 2012, blocks entry into the US and freezes the assets of certain Russian government officials and businessmen accused of human rights violations.

Vielleicht drehen 28 MIG-29 ja die Situation?
The handover of Poland’s 28 Soviet-made MiG-29s signals the Western resolve to do more to deter Russia. But militarily it is unlikely to be a game-changer because the number of aircraft isn’t that big and they are inferior to more sophisticated Russian aircraft and could be easy prey for the Russian Air Force.
