Žuseps Borel: EU has already halved gas purchases from Russia – Technologies and Business – Financenet – TVNET

The diplomat pointed out that it is not possible to “demand a complete cessation of gas purchases overnight”, stressing that the EU “cannot do miracles”.

Considering the decrease in Russian gas supply, the EU countries agreed at the end of July to reduce gas consumption by 15% of the average over the past five years in the next winter season.

After Russia’s latest invasion of Ukraine on February 24 of this year, supplies of energy resources to Europe were drastically reduced, and their prices rose significantly. In this regard, Austria, the Netherlands, Denmark, Sweden, Hungary and Germany have declared a state of emergency in the energy sector.
