40%.... it's only on nairaland that 40% will now be bigger than 60%
Russian gas supply is the biggest single energy supply in Germany. The other 60% comes from different sources, largely renewable energy sources, which is intermittent and unreliable

the question is, did NATO defend Ukraine? Or won't NATO guild NATO member country around the area? Won't they be at alert?
I think I would tell you what defence mean dear.
Obviously you do not know the meaning of the word.
Defence is the action of defending from or resisting attack.
Nato has defended Ukraine in all counts. Be it media,supply of military equipment, even shipment solders under the name volunteers.
Let forget what ever the cause of this fight is, but if you happen to be fighting with someone and I keep giving the person tools to hurt you or I know you will prefer I say to defend him/her self would you consider my actions provocative? Because soon your lot will start saying Russia has start unproductive war with Nato, moreover Ukraine is not Nato member yet.
Look you guys are forgetting something this life is never fair okay? When two people are fighting not minding who is to be blame purse peace first and do not join hands with the one you judge mistreated to fight the opponent okay?
Peace.

Lol. African ignoramuses prepare to be exploited.

USA's alternative is Venezuela. The country that they have successfully rendered useless.
For those of you that don't know Venezuela. She is the country with highest oil deposit in the world but thanks to USA, they are unstable, destabilised and witness tons of USA sponsored coups/attacks on their presidency whenever they are trying to make progress to stop/push USA out.
Did I forget to tell you ignoramuses that they are "independent?" Yes they are but such (Democracy and Independence) doesn't matter when it is USA.

You only support the West/USA when you know nothing, or being controlled by their media.

Did your brain also forget to note that after all the branding of USA as being wicked , they never invaded Venezuela

You could simply pass across same information without being derogatory in your submission "ignoramouses". No man is an island. If you think you know a lot about the West/USA politics, know that some others have more info about this same subject discuss than you.

Ukrainians have to break away from shadow chasing America.

It's Ukrainians that are dying.
It's Ukrainians that are turning to refugees.
It's Ukrainians that their houses, businesses and properties are destroyed.
It's Ukrainians that their lives are turned upside down.

Just to please and massage the ego of America.

Common!
Ukrainian leaders must get sense and stop misleading their people to their graves.
An opposition leader should emerge and negotiate on behalf of Ukrainian people and stop the killing. That is if they actually want peace

Invasion is not when fighter jets, warships etc are lined up to forcefully enter another country but attack on the political balance of the country. This is basic Social studies.

you guys be funny on this platform. You do know trade is an important piece in international relations right?

Who do you think is China largest trading partner at the moment?
So in your opinion, China will dump all her trading partners in order to accommodate just Russia thus isolating herself further and further.

some of you are just good at commenting on Nairaland. you would theoretically run a country or company into the ground

Nah...you actually didn't understand anything I wrote. For example,Visa and master card sanctioned Russia and they switched to China's Union Pay. Russia is still supplying oil and gas to the rest of Europe and the world and even military equipments too. Before the invasion,Biden mentioned these sanctions to Putin yet he carried on. These sanctions are affecting Europe more than it is affecting Russia.

That is for any sensible person or country to know that the US is principally concerned about his economic interest above any country’s safety. Should they even be considering it? Something they should have done immediately the invasion started

Oga Europeans don't think like me and you. They are more interested in humanity than any other thing else. So they will just make necessary adjustments to cut costs. Instead of rising against their governments they will boycott more Russian goods and services.

After the 9/11 attacks, Canada welcomed 33,000 passengers, housed them and gave them food as US closed their air space.

Now Poland is doing same to Fleeing Ukrainian s. But how many countries in Africa will do that to a neighbor country in distress. These guys think humanity first.

I was forced to browse to know what channels are available in the western countries. Because all news channels on dstv seem controlled to me. BBC and shamefully aljazera are all reporting this incident from only one view. I am yet to see any analysis that is just and exposes the true picture of what is happening in Ukraine. How come no one is really talking about the stupidity of zelensky and the dumbness of his decision to join NATO in the first place.
If this war did not happen, many would still be in the dark as to the West's actual operations. Everyone thought they would go sword in hands with Ukraine and fight their fate. But they pulled back. They cheered them on from a distance. They gave a thousand excuses and now are relying on sanctions that will drag many European countries and even Africa to a severe economic depression. They will only empower the Chinese yen and deplete dollar and Euro. No one is critically analysing USA's exploit in other climes to see how they brought many countries to ruins. They reduced democracy to its trellises in many places for reasons less threatening than the reason Russia is moved to war. I am with Donald trump on the weaponized use of media to brainwash educated people.
Well.. If this war endures for a month, we will now buy bread for 5k and a salary of 500k monthly will be insufficient for a family of six

What yall don't know is that trump is actually smart, he just likes drama
He's the one president I know that avoided alot of senseless war
Obama did worse on that but due to hype u will still think someone like Obama was better

I don't rate Obama at all, talkless of rating him highly. He is only good at giving eloquent speeches.

But if you think Trump will be president and do nothing as Russia invades Ukraine, then you are wrong. Even if he doesn't want to act, the US Congress will force him to act.

When Trump was president, are you aware he imposed several santions on Russia even though he likes Putin? Some of those Sanctions were grugdingly imposed after being forced by Congress.

Trump avoided senseless war. So, what war has Biden started?

Except there is another definition of smartness, Trump is actually dumb. What was going on for him was his ability to talk about topics that ordinary US politicians shy away from and his ability to want to wage economic wars in the interest of the US. He is cunning, not smart.

You reason like me a black man like you. That's how we reason. And nothing is bad with the way each man reasons, all we pray is for understanding to achieve a common good

As for movies, I started learning Russian April last year. I belonged to many Russian groups on Facebook, WhatsApp and Telegram.
I also belonged to one Ukrainian group like that. I know what's going on. I am not telling you what I saw on CNN. Each fallen Russia Soldier is posted in the group with, his passport, details etc for his family to make a claim. There are forms in the group for people to fill and submit to Russian defence headquarters to know the fate of their own follow go the war.

I have Russian friends and they tell you they are suffering. So na you day watch movies o
