EU, BRITAIN TIGHTEN GRIP ON RUSSIA'S SHADOW FLEET WITH NEW SANCTIONS.
In a major escalation of economic pressure against Moscow, the European Union and the United Kingdom have announced sweeping new sanctions targeting Russia’s elusive “shadow fleet” — a covert network of aging, poorly regulated tankers transporting oil and gas to bypass Western embargoes. This latest round of sanctions, affecting nearly 200 vessels and dozens of supporting entities, aims to crack down on the opaque system enabling Russia to maintain vital energy revenues while waging war in Ukraine. As European officials highlight concerns over maritime safety, illegal grain transport, and even potential sabotage of undersea infrastructure, the move marks a coordinated international effort to disrupt Russia’s wartime logistics, limit its global influence, and reinforce the call for a just and lasting peace.

AUSTRALIA'S SANTOS GETS GREEN LIGHT FOR $2.3 BILLION NARRABRI GAS PROJECT.
After more than a decade of fierce opposition, Santos’ $2.3 billion Narrabri gas project in New South Wales has received a green light from the National Native Title Tribunal, marking a pivotal moment for Australia's energy future. The decision, which pits the country’s pressing need for domestic gas supply against environmental and Indigenous cultural concerns, highlights the complexity of balancing climate responsibilities with energy security. With plans to drill up to 850 coal-seam gas wells overlapping the sacred Pilliga forest, the project has faced staunch resistance from the Gomeroi people, who argue it threatens both their heritage and the climate.
