Uncertainty surrounds potential sanctions on Russia’s gas exports. Italian Prime Minister Mario Draghi stated that such measures have not been discussed at this time and there is no agreement on when or if they might be debated. Yet he cautioned that the energy landscape could shift rapidly, and that the energy sector might be used as a lever to push toward a peaceful resolution to the conflict. Draghi also made clear that should there be a proposal at the European Union level to embargo Russian gas, Italy would lend its support to that move in principle, if it is part of a broader strategy to restore stability in Europe. The remarks underline how EU member states are weighing how to balance immediate energy needs with long-term security and diplomacy in the face of evolving geopolitical pressures, with Italy watching closely and ready to participate in coordinated actions if they prove effective for peace.
