Igor Sechin, CEO of Russian energy giant Rosneft, has warned that the world is “slowly entering a catastrophe”. The Kremlin ally, in a speech at an industry conference, blamed Western sanctions on Russia for exacerbating the global energy crisis, leading to rising prices and shortages. He called for countries to cooperate in order to avoid a “man-made disaster” and emphasized the need for a stable global energy market. Sechin’s comments come amid heightened concerns about the potential impact of the conflict on the global energy supply, and rising fears of a broader economic downturn.

UPDATE: NASA worries space station leaks potentially ‘catastrophic’…
NASA updates concerns over potentially “catastrophic” space station leaks. Earlier this month, a small crack was discovered in a Russian module on the space station. While astronauts have temporarily sealed the hole, NASA now states that it could potentially lead to a “catastrophic” loss of air or oxygen pressure. Station managers are currently assessing the best way to permanently fix the leak. In the meantime, they have decided to vent the leaking module every day to reduce pressure.
