- Summary: Russia wasted large volumes of natural gas by burning it in a huge orange flare near the Finnish border at a time when it had sharply cut deliveries to the European Union, scientists and analysts said. Analysts from Rystad, an energy consultancy based in Norway, described it as an environmental disaster and estimated the amount of gas being burned off into the atmosphere was equivalent to about 0.5% of daily EU needs.
