2007 my beloved Terrano 2 in Chegem canyon in #Caucasus, around 2700 km from #Poland - then I drove to nearby Tyzyl canyon to deliver some bags of salt and oats to my friends horse shepherds at 2500 m a.s.l. The bags of ~120 kg were packed on transport horses who climbed faster than me, which is understandable they got four shoed legs and I’ve got just two! Each year until 2013 I drove around 1200 km through #Ukraine entering #Russia from #Donbas where nothing predicted the upcoming Russian invasion.

Danish energy commissioner Dan Jørgensen tried in vain to convince EU ministers not to respond to a looming fuel shortage by subsidising fuel consumption, and instead to focus on getting people to use less of it.
