Try doing the math on how many ships you would need to replace Russian piped gas transit to Europe. I heard one guy who estimated you would need 1000 LNG carrier ships. If that is true, good luck. Europe does not have the port facilities either.
No, Europe will either have to suck it up, or turn the coal and nuclear power plants back up. Probably both.

The Qataris are one of the top LNG producers. And this is what they had to say.

They have long term contracts with Asia and won't accept Europe's shitty short term contracts. They can at best divert like 15% of their LNG. You would need *all* the LNG Qatar, Australia, and the US produced last year. Those are the world's top #3 LNG producers. And #4 is... Russia.
Good. I don't care how difficult it is for Europe to replace Russian gas. Its their problem. If they don't want Russian gas, let them figure out the logistics and cost.

Let's see if there are Il-76 wreckages tomorrow, they are pretty big planes.
Once again, I'm asking for those pictures, just one.
It's already morning in Ukraine.

More seriously though. A lot of paratroopers got to the ground and are fighting for control of the town.
Even rumors!? that at least one of the Il-76 didn't blow up and landed with survivors defending the crash.

We'll know a lot more if we knew which direction they came from. The 2nd reported downing is nearly 35km further away from Kyiv.
So that plane could be full when hit or could be returning back to friendly airspace.
