The below text should prevent Roar from not having to change his underpants from all the excitement be must be feeling with this situation between Poland and Ukraine:

........Arms exports to Ukraine will not stop completely as Polish manufacturer PGZ is due to send about 60 Krab artillery weapons in the coming months. Government spokesman Piotr Muller later clarified that only previously agreed deliveries of ammunition and armaments would be delivered, including those from contracts signed with Ukraine.

Not unless they have started recruiting Bulgarian nationals. Apparently they didn't exactly hide their activities and it was obvious to anyone with just a bit of common sense what they were up to as they were seen taking pictures in broad daylight of stuff they knew they shouldn't be. If you going to act with that level of stupidity your certainly pass the intelligence test to become an MP.
 
Surströmming, I got a chance to small that once god that stuff is awful, it's so bad it should be outlawed under the Geneva convention. We should seriously think about dropping that stuff on Russian positions, that will make the run away no problem.

Surely a 700% increase in exports within a year is perfectly normal?

That growth is so large I'm gonna guess that it's the same amount of trade as always but previously it went through Russian based subsidiaries or intermediaries and used to be classes as export to Russia. Now it's going direct it's export to Kyrgystan.

UK exports via Rotterdam used to be classed as exports to the EU even if they were going to the rest of the World.

Eh, it's not so bad. A bit strong, kind of repeaty, but I think if you ate it as part of something else it would be quite nice.

Its going to be many things, including :
Some destined for Russia routed there
Some destined there which would previously have gone through Russia
Some stuff added due to the war

The exports via Rotterdam depended on documentation. When we declared exports we declared the real COD. But smaller companies that may have had some processing taking place off shore (such as shipment consolidation) may have just declared EU.
Strictly speaking it was always the requirement to really split within EU from outside EU even if routed through.

I assume because the ship is offloading the container in the EU before it’s then loaded on a ship from the EU.. rookie mistake..

Sadly what people do, saw it so much with COVID, they only pay lip service to the rules and don't care about the underlying reason for those rules, in their minds as long as they can appear to be going along with the rules everything is fine. Similar is going on all over although it might not be so apparent at some stages i.e. a lot of stuff is going from Ireland via South American countries to Russia (and Iran) such as engine parts and components for drones. Sadly also somewhat a symptom of there not being a end to end organisation of dealing with this problem - some companies are going to be faced with a situation of starve or doing dubious trade that they suspect deep down is dodgy but are on their own with no central support.

It is a funny circle - while unlikely it is still feasible this support will enable the Russian army to become a threat to the peace of wider Europe, how Russia has less and less to lose from being on a war footing doesn't seem to have sunk in for a lot of people and even governments and other organisations like the EU and NATO.

100%. It is like finance policy back in the day... its now worded "you must abide by the spirit of the regulation not just the black and white"...
 
With Poland being more than awkward, Erdogan quoted as saying 'I don't agree with negative approach to Putin' and Zelensky saying 'If we don't get the aid, we lose the war'. Either the west get's things in order pretty damn quick or we face the reality of a new world order decided upon 'might is right' and whatever that brings in future wars, as it surely will at some stage. What a world we live in were horrific crimes against humanity can be potentially rewarded by our indifference and cowardice.
