The European Commission has a plan to reduce Russia’s gas consumption by two-thirds, the European diplomat said.
EU member states continue to reduce Russia’s oil and gas purchases without imposing an embargo on them. This was stated by EU High Representative for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy Josep Borrell following a conference in Madrid on Wednesday, April 20.
“Every country is very fast reducing its purchases of Russia’s oil and gas without the need for an agreement to do so through a ban. At first they increased because there was a need to replenish stocks, but now the all countries, including the most dependent., are making significant efforts to reduce purchases. “, – said the diplomat.
He also announced that the next EU councils would discuss the possibility of taking measures to ban Russia’s energy resources.
“The European Commission has a plan to reduce Russia’s gas consumption by two thirds. We must remove this hope, and the best way to do this is to develop renewable energy sources, we must not back to coal, ”Borrell stressed.
Recall that Hungary refused to support the imposition of an embargo on Russia’s oil and gas supply.
