How poor days look like for wind energy in the UK

 There is a website presenting electricity production in the UK on a half-hour frequency. This is a good site to understand variations in the production of green energy. There are good time periods when wind produces 30% of the whole electricity. But there are also poor periods when no-wind conditions drop the energy production by a factor of 30. Below is a graph obtained at 14:45 cet today. The input of wind is extremely low and natural gas  + nuclear energy gives 80% when solar energy is available. Renewable energy is just a few percent overnight. One can see that this is not a short period of time - the last 48 hours are quiet. I'll keep watching the evolution of the wind conditions. It is important how long this low-wind period will last this time. In 2021, the generation of wind energy was below the average and the natural gas price hike was produced by "no-wind".

Are the previous guarantees of the west being lifted for ukraine? No "Whatever it takes" anymore?

Some logic behind the discussion of the new set of "guarantees" of the west.  they have already offered all the guarantees. "...
