Support Ukraine: In the European Union, they decided to completely abandon Russian gas

According to the Chairman of the Committee of the European Parliament for Industry, Research and Energy Christian Silvu-Bushoy, Europe already has a clear plan for the implementation of the project. The European Union has developed a plan for implementing a new energy strategy to finally refuse to supply Russian gas and use other sources. The message appeared in the Telegram channel of the European Parliament (EP).

As the chairman of the EP Committee on Industry, Research and Energy Committee, Christian Silvu-Bushoi, explained, the European Union necessarily implements its plan, which will get rid of Russian energy dependence. "We have seen the EU's determination on the RePower program to completely stop gas imports from Russia and diversify our gas sources," he said. Bushay believes that the implementation of the gas rejection plan will show how much Europe supports Ukraine in the war with Russia.

The Kremlin's hopes that European countries will freeze this winter without Russian gas this winter was destroyed as EU countries were able to avoid energy threats from Russia. Two factors contributed to this: relatively soft winter and European gas storage facilities, which were filled with more than half. By the end of the winter heating season, Europe still has more than 50% of "blue fuel" reserves in gas storage facilities, accounting for about 100 billion cubic meters.

This deprives the European community of any fear of gas deficiency in the short term. It also weakens fears about Europe's energy security on the eve of the next winter. On February 15, the European Ms. Simson, the Energy Commissioner, stated that positive figures and optimistic forecasts show that Europe won the first battle in the "Energy War" with Russia. Earlier, Focus said that from January 1, 2023, the cooperation with Gazprom was stopped by the Italian company Edison.
