And the right answer is : please don’t bother. We want to stop using fossil fuels.

That's the wrong answer! Europe is already feeling the energy crisis. Do you want to doom ordinary people who just want to heat up their homes? Look at Germany! Buying up coal heaters and coal..

If you are worried about people who can’t heat their homes I’d worry about Texas before Germany.

Millions of ordinary Ukrainians will suffer much, much more than a bit of cold if we start buying Russian gas/oil en mass again.

If my choice is between cold extremities and dead or oppressed Ukrainians, I'm going to just chuck on gloves and more socks.

Ending the war just so it can end now will do Jack shit, because it will start again in a few years when Putin has refilled his ammo stores and his barracks, and then more people will die, be tortured and get raped.

War ends when Russia gets interested in ending it by getting out of all of Ukraine including Crimea and Donbas along with returning all Ukrainians taken to Russia.

It's as simple as that.

Yeah well, a lot hasn't gone exactly to plan the way Russia originally thought already so we shall see.

They're literally on the verge of cutting off the land bridge to Crimea. Thats the last hurdle. Once that gets completed, the liberation of Crimea is inevitable.

A small sacrifice to pay for watching Ukraine destroy Russia's military and ability to threaten the rest of Europe. Find other ways to keep warm for a couple of months, in return for not having to worry about being invaded? Seems like a pretty good deal.

Yes! Great idea to keep on being dependent on fossil fuels from Russia instead of using the momentum to switch to greener AND independent energy! Genius! /s
