Row over Russian energy sanctions gatecrashes EU-India summit

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 08:27:44 GMT

BRUSSELS — Talk at an EU-India summit on Tuesday was meant to be about tech and trade. But the first high-level meeting of its kind ended up being overshadowed by an apparent loophole in Western sanctions against Russia that allows countries like India to buy up cheap oil, refine it, and then ship it back to Europe for a hefty profit.Speaking at a press conference in Brussels, Indian Foreign Secretary Subrahmanyam Jaishankar denied criticism that his country was helping Moscow circumvent sanctions. Saying he did not “see the basis” for such allegations, New Delhi’s top diplomat said EU rules mandate that “if Russian crude is substantially transformed, it’s not treated as Russian anymore.”In earlier comments to the Financial Times the EU’s foreign policy chief Josep Borrell broke ranks to say that Brussels should move to crack down on third countries refining Russian oil and selling the products on to the bloc. “If diesel or gasoline is ...

Temperatures Tumble Tomorrow

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 08:27:44 GMT

It was another summer like day out there today with temperatures climbing to the 80° mark in several towns. Of course the downside to days like today is the high fire risk across southern New England. A red flag warning was issued today and will be back in effect tomorrow. The combination of sunshine, low relative humidity, gusty wind, and lack of rainfall will lead to fires starting and spreading very easy. Burning is discouraged for most of this week.Rainfall is running below average for both the month of May and the spring season (March, April, and May) and the rest of the week will stay dry. There is a cold front to our north that will drop through overnight but sadly no rain will be squeezed out of it. Clouds will increase this evening and night but nothing more than a sprinkle is on tap. If you see anything (most will not), it will be a sprinkle or two and not even enough to wet the pavement, let alone provide any meaningful rain for grass or plants.While we may not *SEE the i...
