Russia has shut off gas pipelines to Poland and Bulgaria after refusing demands to pay for their allotment in roubles.

Away from the events today around gas supplies, we have news from the Russian-backed separatist region of Moldova, Transnistria, where authorities have said shots were fired from Ukraine overnight towards a village that houses a large ammunition depot in the region.

Transnistria's Interior Ministry added that it had detected drones launched from Ukraine.

Transnistria has seen a number of attacks in the last few days, from radio masts being destroyed to a military unit being attacked.

Earlier, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said Russian special services were behind the attacks.

Ukraine has claimed these are "false flag" attacks aimed at destabilizing the region and drawing it into the war.

Russia and the U.S. have agreed to a prisoner swap where the U.S. gets a captured marine and Russia gets a drug trafficker.

The surprise deal involving Trevor Reed, an American imprisoned for nearly three years, would have been a notable diplomatic maneuver even in times of peace, but it was all the more extraordinary because it was done as Russia’s war with Ukraine has driven relations with the U.S. to their lowest point in decades.

But while the prisoner exchange marked a rare point of consensus between two adversarial nations, it seemed unlikely to herald any larger breakthrough between Washington and Moscow, with a senior Biden administration official cautioning that the negotiations centered on a “discrete set of prisoner issues” and did not represent a change to the U.S. government’s condemnation of Russia’s violence against Ukraine.

Despite Reed’s release, other Americans remain jailed in Russia, including WNBA star Brittney Griner and Michigan corporate security executive Paul Whelan.

Reed, a 30-year-old former Marine from Texas, was arrested in the summer of 2019 after Russian authorities said he assaulted an officer while being driven by police to a police station following a night of heavy drinking. He was later sentenced to nine years in prison, though his family maintained his innocence and the U.S. government described him as unjustly detained and expressed concern about his declining health.

The U.S., for its part, returned Konstantin Yaroshenko, a Russian pilot who’d been serving a 20-year federal prison sentence in Connecticut for conspiracy to smuggle cocaine into the U.S. after he was arrested in Liberia in 2010 and extradited to the U.S. The Justice Department has described him as “an experienced international drug trafficker” who conspired to distribute thousands of kilograms of cocaine around the world.

"I sure hope Russia's military will be sane enough to not push the button", said I.

So much for that...
