Ukrainian media has reported that starting January 2025, the transit of Russian oil through the Druzhba pipeline in the Eastern European country will be halted, along with the transit of natural gas. This is yet more geopolitical risk premium for European energy markets ahead of the Northern Hemisphere heating season.
Ukrainska Pravda cited an interview with Mykhailo Podoliak, an advisor to President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, and the Ukrainian media outlet Novyny. Podoliak said, “In addition to gas, the Druzhba pipeline will also cease operations starting 1 January 2025.”
Grok had indicated that the deadline for replacing Biden had already passed in nine states states where it had not: Alabama, Indiana, Michigan, Minnesota, New Mexico, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Texas and Washington.
“In all nine states the opposite is true: The ballots are not closed, and upcoming ballot deadlines would allow for changes to candidates listed on the ballot,” the secretaries wrote.

To get on the ballot in the U.S. as a presidential candidate, Kamala Harris (or any candidate) would need to meet specific deadlines for ballot access in each state. These deadlines vary by state and usually involve submitting a certain number of petition signatures, paying fees, and meeting other legal requirements.
Key Deadlines for Ballot Access:
- Petition Deadlines:
- Most states require independent or third-party candidates to submit petitions with a certain number of signatures. Deadlines range from April to August 2024.
- For example, in Texas, the deadline is typically in May or June, and in California, it’s usually in August.
- Filing Deadlines for Major Parties:
- For major parties like the Democrats or Republicans, deadlines to submit nominees usually coincide with state primaries or caucuses, which occur between February and June 2024.
- The Democratic National Convention, where Kamala would be officially nominated (if she’s running), is scheduled for August 19-22, 2024.
- Electoral College Deadline:
- States must submit their final list of electors by December 2024, after the election but before the official certification of results.
Battleground States for the 2024 Election:
These are the states that are likely to play a crucial role in deciding the outcome between Kamala Harris (if she is the Democratic nominee) and Donald Trump (if he is the Republican nominee):
- Pennsylvania
- Wisconsin
- Michigan
- Arizona
- Georgia
- North Carolina
- Nevada
These states have been highly competitive in recent elections, and slight changes in voter turnout or preferences can swing them in either direction. They have a history of voting for both Democratic and Republican candidates, making them crucial in a close race.
