What is Russia up to and […]

Russia quickly reacted to the Ever Given container ship blocking the Suez Canal and floated the idea that the maritime transport via this passage will be quickly replaced with the Northern Sea Route.

Potentially the CBAM is also the proverbial „big stick” that can be used on companies that want to escape the EU to avoid […]

The completion of Nord Stream 2 is becoming less likely. However, there is nothing to suggest that the project has lost Berlin’s support – Mariusz Marszałkowski, editor at BiznesAlert.pl, writes.
