Vladimir Putin is trying to use energy resources as a weapon, but he will fail, says Ursula von der Leyen.
The leadership of the European Commission has prepared several initiatives that will help EU countries deal with the energy crisis artificially created by Russia. This was announced by the President of the European Commission Ursula von der Leyen in Twitter on Monday, September 5th.
He emphasized that Russian President Vladimir Putin is trying to use energy resources as a weapon, reducing supplies and manipulating European markets.
“He will fail. Europe will win,” wrote the head of the European Commission.
According to him, several proposals have already been formulated, including:
-
The demand for electricity has decreased
-
Capping prices for pipeline gas from Russia
-
Helping Vulnerable Consumers and Businesses Profit in the Energy Sector
-
Providing support to electricity producers facing liquidity problems related to price fluctuations.
Recall that this week the ministers of EU countries will hold a meeting where they will discuss the introduction of a marginal price for gas imports from the Russian Federation.
This came after the Kremlin announced problems with gas supplies to Europe until sanctions are eased or lifted.
It was previously reported that on September 2, gas prices in Europe fell below $1,900. And now the price immediately jumped 30%, surpassing $2,800.
