The Gas prices in Europe are almost like one ago:
Dutch TTF Natural Gas Futures Pricing
Contracts are for physical delivery through the transfer of rights in respect of Natural Gas at the Title Transfer Facility (TTF) Virtual Trading Point, operated by Gasunie Transport Services (GTS). Delivery is made equally each hour throughout the delivery period from 06:00 (CET) on the first...www.theice.com
The level of Gas storage in Europe is at 83% and it is rising(!):

We are freezing without Russian gas ... brrrr
Food prices in Europe are not the same than one year ago.
Gasoline/Diesel decreases price last months/weeks, but food prices keep raising last weeks.
Some examples:
brandless chocolate spread from 1.50 EUR to 1.80 EUR first months of war, and from 1.80 EUR to 2.00 EUR last weeks.
frozen pizza from 1.80 EUR to 2.25 EUR first months of war, and to 2.50 EUR last weeks.
paper tissues from 0.80 EUR one year ago to 1.25 EUR now. (I dont understand well this increase, is it because people are storing the raw material of that item, wood, to burn as emergency heat supply?)
brandless cornmeal from 1.50 EUR one year ago, to 1.75 EUR now.
bread from 1.00 EUR one year ago to 1.25 EUR now.
sunflower oil from 1.50 one year ago to 2.30 EUR now
wheat flour kg from 0.45 one year ago to 0.75 now
And so on.
It's not the end of the world, but it never happened since the currency is EUR.
By the other side, new year eve is a good day to take advantage of drunk soldiers.
This advice can be taken by the two sides. Because both have same traditions.
