Sanctions on Russia have had a withering effect on Moscow's economy, the European Union said. That's one of the main reasons why Russia's economic future looks "bleak," according to one official. Despite Putin's show of defiance, scholars say Russia is in a far worse state than the Kremlin has let on. The European Union imposed 11 rounds of sanctions against Russia starting shortly after it invaded Ukraine in February 2022. Russia's energy revenue tumbled 45% over the first quarter of this year after the EU oil ban took effect.

Luisa Moreno, President of mining company Defense Metals Corp, expects China to further restrict metal exports which could include rare earths. Jakub Porzycki | Nurphoto | Getty ImagesChina's metal export curbs on gallium and germanium could spur some countries to diversify their supply chains away from China. Rare earths are essential for high-tech consumer products like smartphones and military equipment like radar systems. Rare earths make up a group of 17 elements composed of scandium, yttrium, and the lanthanides. China also threatened to stop rare earths exports to the U.S. in 2019.

"It was a day of pain and rage," demonstrator Luisa Menendez, 73, told Reuters, referring to June 24, 2022. In a report released to mark the anniversary, Amnesty International accused Spain and Morocco of a cover-up for failing to properly investigate events at the Melilla border last year. In the incident, around 2,000 migrants and refugees from sub-Saharan Africa attempted to enter Melilla from Morocco. Separately, the Council of Europe Commissioner for Human Rights said last month there is "no genuine and effective access to asylum at the border" between Nador (Morocco) and Melilla.

Russia's LNG exports rose 1.1% on-year to a record high of nearly 4.3 billion cubic meters in October. The EU is replacing piped Russian gas with imported LNG cargoes, which could pose a political risk. This gas supply has ceased indefinitely after an 'unprecedented sabotage' of the pipelines that transport natural gas from Russia to Germany. The EU imported 54.2 billion cubic meters of Russian piped gas in the first nine months of 2022 and 105.7 billion cubic meters in the same period of 2021, per Politico. But the EU snapping up Russian LNG still still leaves it vulnerable potential political ramifications from the Russia-Ukraine war.
