Latvia, Lithuania, and Estonia have successfully disconnected from the Russian power grid, marking a significant step towards European energy independence and integration. This move is celebrated as a historic day, as it ends a longstanding dependency on Russian energy that Moscow has leveraged as a weapon. The Baltic nations are planning full synchronization with Europe's power grid by 2025. The decision has financial implications for Putin amid ongoing conflicts, particularly the war in Ukraine, where energy control has been a crucial factor.
"This legacy of occupation meant that Moscow - which uses energy as a weapon - had control of the frequency. That's a critical element in maintaining reliable power supply. That dependency ends today!"
By making our whole energy system independent of Russia, the Kremlin loses another lever of power to use against Europe.
