How do the EU sanctions against Russian oil and gas exports, coupled with Russia's military buildup in the Baltic Sea region, contribute to the escalating tensions?

Denmark's intensified checks on over 60 tankers since February, resulting in two detentions for safety and environmental concerns, highlight the EU's efforts to enforce sanctions against Russia's oil sector. These actions, while upholding international maritime law's freedom of navigation, are seen by Russia as a pretext, raising the risk of escalation. Russia's vow to defend its shipping with "all legal means" underscores the tension.

How might this discovery influence future investment in Baltic Sea oil exploration?

The Wolin East 1 (WE1) deposit's size is impactful for Poland, potentially lessening its dependence on foreign oil. However, the 22 million tons discovered won't significantly alter the European energy balance, as Poland's refineries process roughly 24 million tons annually. CEP's priority is now securing funding for exploitation.
