The synchronization of the grids with Europe has been successfully completed. It has taken several years of investments and quite a bit of money over decades, but now the results are here when they are most needed.

 This is a great step to gain energy independence from Ruzzia  the three Baltic Republics and set the path for the future energy independence of Ukraine when it comes to pass. The Baltics have experience and exceptional growth after joining the European Union and getting rid of the USSR influence.

BTW, as a side effect of this, Kaliningrad (Konisberg) is no longer linked with Ruzzia, which makes it much more vulnerable in case of conflict.

The Baltic nations cannot oppose Russian policies and still rely on them for power supply. The move to become independent from the Russian power supply will protect them from economic sabotage. Power supply could be used as a weapon, hence it is important to be self-reliant or connect to trusted allies. Europeans are gradually getting alternatives to Russian supplies, thereby reducing the influence of the Kremlin in the continent. Congratulations to the Baltic states for attaining power independence.
