| 0:00.0 | All right, Alexander, let's talk about the energy situation in Europe. |
| 0:04.0 | Let's talk about the electricity situation maybe in Europe as well. |
| 0:08.0 | I don't know if we've actually talked about this in detail. |
| 0:11.0 | The Baltics moving away from the Russian electric grid, |
| 0:17.0 | and now they're on the EU electric grid. |
| 0:19.0 | We did touch on this a little bit. Yeah. |
| 0:21.4 | We made it a week ago. But the plan for all of this was to get Kalinigrad, right? |
