European Commissioner for Energy Kadri Simson said EU countries should not be under the illusion that it is an easy situation in the absence of Russian gas supplies. It has been reported TASS.
“But there should be no illusions that it will be easy. This year will be difficult. “I will propose to extend the voluntary reduction of gas consumption by 15%,” he said.
Simson added that Ukraine plans to participate in joint gas purchases by EU countries to obtain an additional 2 billion cubic meters of fuel.
“We have integrated Ukraine into the common gas purchases platform…” he added.
The special operation of the Russian Armed Forces in Ukraine continues. It was announced by Russian President Vladimir Putin on February 24, 2022. According to him, the purpose of military action is to demilitarize the neighboring country and to navy the authorities.
The decision to run the operation became the justification for new sanctions against Russia by the United States and its allies.
