    EU Increases Russian Gas Imports Despite Ban Promises

    The European Union has increased its purchases of Russian liquefied natural gas (LNG) by nearly 10% from January to September, despite promises to gradually phase out Russian energy resources. Russia's share in EU gas imports has decreased from pre-war levels of 45% to 12%. The EU aims to completely halt Russian gas imports by September 2027, but analysts doubt this deadline will be met due to high prices and low fuel reserves. Russia is ready to increase energy supplies to Europe if requested, with Deputy Prime Minister Alexander Novak stating that Europe cannot compensate for the gas shortage without Russian supplies.

    Indonesia's Forest Fires Cause Regional Haze Crisis; Neighboring Countries Offer Assistance

    Indonesia is battling severe forest and land fires that have caused a regional haze crisis, with over 1.9 million hectares of land destroyed in the first nine months of 2026. Neighboring countries, including Malaysia and Singapore, have offered assistance to help extinguish the fires. Malaysia has deployed three aircraft and 52 personnel, while Singapore has issued warnings to companies with concessions in affected areas. The haze has led to school closures, health issues, and disruptions in multiple countries. Indonesia has deployed significant resources to tackle the fires but has not yet declared it a national disaster.
