Kyiv CNN —A Russian missile struck a cargo ship as it docked in the Ukrainian Black Sea port of Odesa, killing the pilot and injuring four others, Ukrainian officials said. Ukraine’s southern military command said a Russian tactical aircraft in the Black Sea launched an anti-radar missile at the ship on Wednesday afternoon. Russia has repeatedly attacked Ukrainian ports since withdrawing from a UN-brokered deal that guaranteed the safe passage of grain though the Black Sea earlier this year. “This is the 21st attack on Black Sea ports in the Odesa region since Russia left the grain deal in July. After Russia launched its full-scale invasion of the country, its navy blockaded Ukraine’s Black Sea ports, preventing Ukraine from exporting its crops.

KYIV, Ukraine (AP) — Ukraine, Poland and Lithuania have agreed on a plan they hope will help expedite Ukrainian grain exports, officials said Tuesday, with needy countries beyond Europe potentially benefitting from speedier procedures. The move seeks to facilitate the transit of Ukrainian exports through Polish territory, the statement said, without providing further details. While the stated goal is to hasten Ukrainian grain exports, the agreement may also help defuse tensions over grain prices between Ukraine and Poland a time when some international support for Kyiv's efforts to throw back Russia's invasion may be fraying. That has left more expensive overland routes through Europe as the main path for Ukraine’s exports. Sealed freight has helped combat that problem, and sending Ukrainian grain straight to the Lithuanian port may also be an answer.

REUTERS/Ints Kalnins/File PhotoLONDON, Dec 7 (Reuters) - The United States and Britain announced on Wednesday an energy partnership aimed at sustaining a higher level of liquefied natural gas (LNG) exports to Britain and collaborating on ways to increase energy efficiency. Britain and other European countries have turned to the United States as they try to reduce their reliance on Russian energy supplies following Moscow's invasion of Ukraine begun in February. "This partnership will bring down prices for British consumers and help end Europe's dependence on Russian energy," British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak said in a statement. The "UK-US Energy Security and Affordability Partnership" will also aim to drive investment in clean energy and exchange ideas on energy efficiency and reducing demand for gas. The G7 - which includes Britain and the United States - has agreed a $60 per barrel price cap on Russian seaborne crude oil.

Sancțiunile economice ale UE și vulnerabilitatea Parteneriatului Estic la precedentul creat de Belarus, Analiză de Dionis CenușaOp-EdExact cum Brexit-ul pentru coeziunea internă a UE, precedentul belarus nu trebuie să devină o idee atractivă în interiorul Parteneriatului Estic. Sancțiunile economice introduse de UE contra Belarus în 2021 amintesc despre sancțiunile europene adoptate împotriva Rusiei în 2014. În plan practic, va fi necesară de asemenea actualizarea organigramei multilaterale a Parteneriatului și a viitoarelor proiecte de interconectare intra-regională, preconizate până în 2030. Exact cum „Brexit-ul” pentru coeziunea internă a UE, precedentul belarus nu trebuie să devină o idee atractivă în interiorul Parteneriatului Estic.
