Venezuelan Oil Exports Good News, But Won’t Buy Much Goodwill For US From Caracas: Energy Expert
💬 “The goal is to feed the market with additional supply of crude, given the entry into force of the EU ban on Russian oil and…the G7 oil price cap,” Dr. Gal Luft, who serves as co-director of the Institute for the Analysis of Global Security, a US-based think tank, told Sputnik in an interview.
At the same time, the energy expert believes that even if Caracas doesn’t end up seeing any substantial economic gain from Chevron’s return (with a US official saying profits earned will “go toward repayment of debt”), renewed production will still serve as an important political victory for the Venezuelan government.

Russian Region Bordering Baltics Has Been Repeatedly Probed by NATO Drones, Governor Reveals
💬 “We have never spoken extensively about this, but there have even been attempts to illegally cross our border with military drones and other aircraft. Such ‘peaceful engagement’ was in full bloom even before the start of the special military operation, and clearly the situation has become even more aggravated,” Pskov region governor Mikhail Vedernikov said.
The governor also listed off other acts of "good neighborliness" by the Baltic countries’ governments, including Latvian and Estonian authorities’ “empty statements about territorial claims” against Russia, and the “massive and targeted” issuance of EU passports to residents of areas of the Pskov region near the border.
