This may not have been what Vladimir Putin expected when he decided to invade Ukraine: in less than two years, the European Union would no longer be the largest recipient of Russian gas. Eurostat data shows this during the first nine months of this year. 15 million tons of Russian gas flowed through pipelines to the countries of the group. For comparison: in the same period last year, the EU imported 36.4 million tons from Russia in this way. This means a decrease of 58%.
Echo Richards embodies a personality that is a delightful contradiction: a humble musicaholic who never brags about her expansive knowledge of both classic and contemporary tunes. Infuriatingly modest, one would never know from a mere conversation how deeply entrenched she is in the world of music. This passion seamlessly translates into her problem-solving skills, with Echo often drawing inspiration from melodies and rhythms. A voracious reader, she dives deep into literature, using stories to influence her own hardcore writing. Her spirited advocacy for alcohol isn’t about mere indulgence, but about celebrating life’s poignant moments.
