📉 The CS2 update which allowed players to trade 5 Covert items into a knife has completely crashed the CS2 Skin economy with around 2 Billion market cap wiped within 12 hours.

💎 Covert Items, while rare, are not as rare as knives. By making it easier to get knives some knife skins have lost around 70% of their original value.

🐦 Many CS2 skin collectors on twitter have lost tens of thousands (possibly even hundreds of thousands) and are promising to commit suicide.

Photo of the current trend.

Valve have officially destroyed CS2 trading lol.

🇷🇺🇺🇸🇨🇳China Continues Russian Arctic LNG Imports Despite Sanctions

While the U.S. slapped sanctions on Russia’s two largest oil companies, Rosneft and Lukoil, and a number of their subsidiaries, it stopped short of imposing further sanctions on Arctic LNG, developed and operated by Russian energy firm Novatek.

The U.S., the EU, and the UK sanctioned Arctic LNG in 2024, forcing the project to scout for buyers with tankers full of LNG traveling across the seas for months.

After more than a year of attempts to sell cargoes, Arctic LNG found the usual customer—one LNG import terminal in China, which has been receiving the sanctioned cargoes on blacklisted vessels since August.
