Not sure taking over a downstream business would do any goods to German energy security.
FRANKFURT, April 4 (Reuters) - Gazprom Germania, an energy trading, storage and transmission business ditched by Russia's Gazprom on Friday, will be transferred to Germany's regulator to ensure energy security, Economy Minister Robert Habeck said on Monday.
All voting rights in the company will be moved to the regulator, the Bundesnetzagentur, Habeck told a news conference. The move was immediately put into effect by publication in the Federal Gazette.
"The order of the trust administration serves to protect public security and order and to maintain the security of supply," Habeck said. "This step is mandatory."
Habeck added that security of supply was currently guaranteed at a time of crisis in energy ties between Germany and Russia in the wake of Russia's Feb. 24 invasion of Ukraine.
The Bundesnetzagentur will be take over control up to Sept. 30, 2022. It will be entitled to remove executives, hire new staff and ask management how to proceed.
"Our goal will be to run Gazprom Germania in the interests of Germany and Europe," Klaus Mueller, head of the Bundesnetzagentur, said in a statement.
The Economy Ministry said the move was to stave off possible acquisition of Gazprom Germania by JSC Palmary and Gazprom export business services LLC, both of Russia.
It was unclear who was behind the companies, the ministry said, implying that an acquisition was legally not permissible, given the investors were from outside the EU and about to operate critical infrastructure.

Victor writes history. As Mao said. Power comes from the barrel of a gun.
Not sure if thats the case see the Mongols for one. Out of many examples. Or post WWII on the eastern front. Which was mostly written by the German generals, etc. Until 2000 when historians started to debunk the previous myths and narrative.
Well that’s the rumor that phase 3 will be a push into Khariv and an offensive into nicholaev then the final battle will an assault into Odessa by land and sea.sure, to achieve that they have to first take nicholaev then odessa. this is not something that can be achieved in the short-term. the only viable option i see is to liquidate the donbass saliet first, then decide where to go from there with the forces that are freed up. perhaps by that time they can be moved to the west and encircle both cities from the north, then negotiate a settlement with kyiv. that will mean giving up taking kharkov.
They were most likely supported by the US though, in their(US) agenda/fight against USSR.Not sure if thats the case see the Mongol for one. Out of many examples. Or post WWII on the eastern front.

So still kinda correct though.
Over 250 Ukrainian troops surrendered today in Mariupol, making this one of the single biggest cases of surrender in the entire war (if not the biggest). The hallmark of a winning war effort is lots of captured enemy soldiers. Finally the Russians bagged a big prize.
Way better like that, there was no hope anyway. Hoping that the pow will be cared with dignity.Over 250 Ukrainian troops surrendered today in Mariupol, making this one of the single biggest cases of surrender in the entire war (if not the biggest).

Probably will be better threated then the Russian POW's where.Way better like that, there was no hope anyway. Hoping that the pow will be cared with dignity.
Here's btw finally some testimonies of Russian POW. And, yeah it looks like the vids that surfaced weren't the exaptation.
Ukraine might be winnin in the media and hitting Russia here and there but I suspect that they are getting pummeled to oblivion in the battlefield.Over 250 Ukrainian troops surrendered today in Mariupol, making this one of the single biggest cases of surrender in the entire war (if not the biggest).

I believe we will start seeing a clear picture of this war in the next one week or two.
