War in Ukraine.

Actually we have a very hard and serious conflict in Ukraine. Here we are going to explain something about it.

Why?

Although there's never a reason for war, Russia has invaded Ukraine. The arguments: Russia says that Ukraine must be a barrier between them and the European Union; like a "shield country". On the other hand we have Europe, which wants Ukraine under its sphere of domain. 

Furthermore, Ukraine is one of the major producers of wheat, corn and sunflower seed in the world. It is "the barn of Europe". The European Union desires to keep access to this resource, crucial for its economy.

What is happening NOW?

As expected, Russia is winning the war. Possibly in a few days the country will fall under Russian domain.

How does this war affect us?

There are mainly economic consequences:

1. Petrol and gas are increasing their prize. Last week a gas cylinder cost 17€; today 30€; and possibly this prize race is not going to stoop in a short / middle term. The same happens with petrol. Today diesel cost 2€ / litre; and it will be increased much more.
2. The shopping list is increasing its prize. Because all goods came by truck, and trucks need diesel for working on, the shopping list is getting more and more expensive. This is a very big problem which concerns everyone.
3. The invoice of light is going up more and more. Because the gas is increasing its prize, and because we use gas for producing electricity, the invoice of gas is also going up. 

What about people in Ukraine?

Exiled people

But with no doubt, the more affected ones are the Ukranians. 2.000.000 people has fled from the country; many others are dying; roads, buildings and bridges are being destroyed... The country will not recover in decades.
