It has been six long months since the war in Ukraine began, with its tragic toll of victims (more than 5,600 civilians killed, according to the latest UN figures). Vladimir Putin is not weakening and remains the master of the clocks. The fighting and strikes around the Zaporizhia nuclear power plant have led to fears of the worst, so much so that experts from the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) are currently arriving on the scene to try to assess the risks. On 31 August, Russian gas giant Gazprom announced that it was suspending deliveries to Europe via the Nord Stream 1 pipeline, confirming the threat of a gas shortage on the continent. Between the horror of war and the prospect of a serious energy crisis, the autumn season is shaping up to be an anxious one to say the least.
