EU Proposes Cap
on Russian Gas Prices, , Putin Threatens Supply Halt.
The price cap was proposed by
EU officials on Sept.
7.
The proposal comes as EU energy prices are already strapping consumers ahead of the cold EU season.
We will propose a
price cap on Russian gas, Ursula von der Leyen, European Commission President, via Reuters.
We must cut Russia's revenues which Putin uses to finance this atrocious war in Ukraine, Ursula von der Leyen, European Commission President, via Reuters.
The EU has accused Putin of using Russian energy
as a weapon to curtail the EU's support for Ukraine.
Putin responded that EU price caps on Russian energy supplies would mean that all EU contracts are null.
We will not supply anything at all if it contradicts our interests, Vladimir Putin, Russian President, via Reuters.
We will not supply gas, oil, coal, heating oil - we will not
supply anything, Vladimir Putin, Russian President, via Reuters.
Some criticized the EU's proposal as
further sanctions against Russia.
It is not a constructive proposal, according to me, Jozef Sikela, Czech Republic Industry Minister,
via Reuters.
It is more another way to sanction Russia than an
actual solution to the
energy crisis in Europe, Jozef Sikela, Czech Republic Industry Minister,
via Reuters.
The root cause of the problem
is a shortage of gas supply and our addiction to imported
fossil fuels.

Governments should seek to tackle this rather than resorting to distortive, ad-hoc interventions in the
electricity market, Kristian Ruby, Secretary General of Eurelectric,

Russia Vetoes UN Resolution , to Prevent Nukes in Space.
The resolution was sponsored
by Japan and the United States.
It called on all nations to refrain from developing or deploying nuclear weapons "or other weapons of mass destruction in space," 'The Guardian' reports. .
A 1967 international treaty
already bans such weapons in space.
Russia’s U.N. Ambassador, Vassily Nebenzia,
vetoed the resolution, calling it "absolutely absurd and politicized," as well as a "dirty spectacle.".
China abstained from voting, while the rest of the 15-member council voted in favor of the resolution. .
Today’s veto begs the question:
Why? Why, if you are following the
rules, would you not support a
resolution that reaffirms them?
What could you possibly be hiding, Linda Thomas-Greenfield, U.S. ambassador to the U.N., via 'The Guardian'.
Russia and China would rather establish an
amendment calling on all nations "to prevent for
all time the placement of weapons in outer space, and the threat of use of force in outer spaces.".
We want a ban on the placement of
weapons of any kind in outer space, not
just WMDs [weapons of mass destruction].
But you don’t want that. And let me ask
you that very same question. Why?, Vassily Nebenzia, Russia’s U.N. ambassador, via 'The Guardian'.
Nebenzia went on to say, "if we recall that the U.S. and their allies announced some time ago plans to place weapons … in outer space.".
The U.S.-Japan resolution was announced in March after it was determined that Russia was in possession of "a 'troubling' anti-satellite weapon capability," 'The Guardian' reports.
However, earlier this year, Putin said, , "Our position is clear and transparent: We have always been categorically against and are now against the deployment of nuclear weapons in space."

on its promise to act like a leader on the
world stage, to hold the line against
autocratic thugs like Vladimir Putin. , Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, via statement.

Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer praised House Speaker Mike Johnson, .
with whom he worked "hand in hand and shoulder to shoulder to get this bill done.".
A lot of people inside and
outside the Congress wanted this
package to fail. But today those in
Congress who stand on the side of
democracy are winning the day, Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, via statement.
Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell also issued a statement.
Today’s action is overdue, but our work
does not end here. Trust in American
resolve is not rebuilt overnight. Expanding
and restocking the arsenal of democracy
doesn’t just happen by magic, Senate Majority Republican Leader Mitch McConnell, via statement
