Operation Deimos

Russian President Vladimir Putin has demanded that "unfriendly" foreign customers start paying for gas in Russian rubles. European Union officials were holding emergency talks on Wednesday on the gas cutoff, which they also called blackmail.

If you are staring at your energy bill this winter and wondering why it is so high, you’re not alone. The cost of natural gas went up 24 percent in February compared to the year before and electricity went up by nine percent.
