Energy Sanctions Backfire

Energy sanctions against Russia could rapidly denude its war-making resources, though it would hurt for a bit. I wonder if Europeans could do what their governments can't and just do everything they can to reduce energy consumption? A symbolic lights out in solidarity with Ukraine Энергетические санкции против России могут быстро лишить ее военных ресурсов, хотя на какое-то время это и повредит. Интересно, могли бы европейцы сделать то, чего не могут их правительства, и просто сделать все возможное, чтобы сократить потребление энергии? Символический свет в знак солидарности с Украиной My mum got this @BritishGas. This is insane. Моя мама получила это @BritishGas . Это безумие. Your energy account Your energy payments You were paying £52.35 per month Your future payments will be £1248.90 per month

A split-screen screenshot shows a tweet calling for Europeans to reduce energy consumption in solidarity with Ukraine, alongside an energy bill showing payments rising from £52.35 to £1248.90 per month. The joke is that the proposed solidarity and sanctions appear to backfire dramatically on ordinary consumers through an absurdly high gas bill.
