Russia tries again to expand LNG exports upended by sanctions
Russia is doubling down on liquefied natural gas (LNG) exports by sea after Western sanctions crippled its pipeline gas sales to Europe. With traditional routes drying up since the Ukraine invasion, tanker shipments have become Moscow’s workaround to keep energy money flowing—though it’s a trickier, costlier hustle than before.
Editor’s Note: This isn’t just about Russia pivoting—it’s a sign of how sanctions are reshaping global energy trade. Europe’s scramble to ditch Russian pipeline gas forced Moscow to play the LNG card, but logistics and competition make this a shaky Plan B. For consumers, it means more volatile energy markets as old supply chains unravel.

positiveWorld Affairs
Veteran forward Claude Giroux is sticking with the Ottawa Senators for another season, according to a source. The 37-year-old, who played a key role in ending Ottawa's eight-year playoff drought, will return for his fourth year with the team. Meanwhile, the Columbus Blue Jackets have re-signed defenseman Dante Fabbro.
Editor’s Note: For Senators fans, this is a reassuring move—Giroux brings leadership and scoring punch to a young team on the rise.

Europe is bracing for a brutal start to summer as its first major heatwave of 2025 sends temperatures soaring to 42°C (107.6°F).
