Gasoil is a fuel used for non-road applications like agricultural machinery, construction equipment, generators, and some heating systems. Ukrainian naval drones have been attacking sanctioned tankers in the Black Sea in recent weeks…

One of the ways you can claim rights to water sources is to own land next to them or over them. It seems intuitive that you should be able to dip into a river running along your property to get a drink for yourself and possibly your livestock, or water for your plants and possibly your farm fields.
