EU foreign policy chief Kaja Kallas has revived plans to draw on frozen Russian assets to make loans to Ukraine.
Yanis Varoufakis writes for Jacobin that the idea is unworkable and incompatible with efforts to move toward a ceasefire.
We are so much better at fighting corporate capture that we are at making videos! Still, we hope you have enjoyed this series of explainers.
Should we continue to do it? If so, what topics should we talk about next? Let us know your thoughts in the comments.
European Union has refused to condemn Israel's attacks on Gaza during the 'ceasefire'-
At least 648 killed. (Israel claims to have killed more).
For months EU hasn't bothered to even say that attacks 'endanger' the supposed ceasefire.
Daily killings are the 'new normal', in the eyes of the Union.

Text excerpt from NYT article linked in second skeet saying: “Most of the profits are flowing to the very affluent Americans, who are not subject to this cost-of-living crisis anyway because they’re so rich. They’re getting richer, and everyone else is dealing with inflation,” said Gregor Semieniuk, associate professor of University of Massachusetts Amherst who led the study. The United Kingdom responded to fossil fuel companies’ bumper year by adding a windfall tax designed to capture some of the excess profits and use the money to ease the burden on households facing higher bills. Semieniuk’s team calculated what would have happened if the U.S. government redistributed the portion of the fossil fuel industry’s 2022 profits that exceeded its 2021 returns. They found that the move would send $1,715 to every American household, which, they argued, could have helped ease the burden of inflation on lower-income households.

Research on the oil and gas crisis sparked by Russia’s invasion of Ukraine in 2022 showed that the gains of the boon on energy producers were not equally shared.
The wealthiest 1 per cent of the US population eventually received more than 50 per cent of energy companies’ windfall from that particular surge in prices, according to a paper published in September 2025.
“If anything [the US has] become a more powerful exporter and producer of fossil fuels since 2022. And of course, their oil majors are active globally. So I think [US shareholders] are poised to take advantage even more [now],” said Gregor Semieniuk, a professor at the University of Massachusetts who was one of the authors of the research. “Wealth distributions don’t change overnight.”](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:zzkt72yllokx7rstuph6rlrw/bafkreigrlauo2i24owltmckxgpdt4gyzzwwu6hvotpslz57hqdbodogxba)

Who stands to profit as energy prices are rising due to the escalating war in the Middle East? NYT and FT quoting our research on the 2022 energy crisis! Spoiler: in the West it's mainly affluent shareholders.
High time to dust off the discussions on excess profit taxes & strategic price controls.

Spain is the only EU country that has condemned the 🇺🇸🇮🇱 attack on Iran as a violation of international law.
Other European countries can see the response they will get if they too decide to speak out: 'You're either with us or you're with Iran'.
