While the physical market is functioning, the derivatives market is beginning to show serious signs of systemic stress.
Bloomberg reports that Helge Haugane, Equinor’s senior vice president for gas and power, said in an interview that “liquidity support is going to be needed," warning that his company's estimate for $1.5 trillion to prop up so-called paper trading is “conservative.”
And Haugane confirms what we explained was driving the breakdown in market functioning in the (paper) energy markets:
Finally, how exactly does this explicitly inflationary 'bailout' pair with ECB's inflation-fighting mandate? We are sure Lagarde and Van der Leyen have all the answers...

Sadly - but not entirely unexpectedly, Haugane says that EU plans to intervene would be "sensible" for derivatives trading. In other words, we are back to the 'too big to fail' arguments from 2008 when fears of the apocalypse (this time in real energy markets ahead of winter) prompted demands that government "do something" to save the over-levered from themselves... with the excuse being 'if you do not rescue us, there will be hell to pay for the average EU joe'.

Russia having to go to the North Koreans is a big deal. They are desperate, and the NKs will extract a premium price in either gold, or a hard currency. No rubles for Kim Jong Un. And, this isn't for large amounts of precision weaponry which would be more useful to Russia at this point. This appears to be mostly standard artillery rounds.
Honestly, before I opened the video attachment I assumed this was a clever Ukrainian propaganda piece where they showed a Russian soldier wandering around aimlessly begging for a coat or a ride.
Awesome video.
Ukraine suffered serious OPSEC breach, as map of planned Kharkiv counteroffensive was posted online:

I know it's kinda morbid, but if enjoying watching video of Russian soldiers being killed is wrong, I don't wanna be right!
You realize that was a nazi map from June 1942?
You realize I am not looking that closely at right. I come here for quick information. Not to do quick and dirty analyzation of language I can't read.
