A source from EU leadership in a comment to the US edition explained that the new mechanism would allow European energy companies to break transactions with gas suppliers from the Russian Federation and do not pay significant compensation at the same time. The authors of the publication indicated that although the EU gradually reduces the dependence on Russian energy, the share of Russian gas that Europe receives is approximately 10% of the total volume.
In a number of EU countries, such as Austria and Hungary, Russia still supplies a considerable amount of energy. In the European Commission, they want to replace the remaining proportion of gas. According to journalists, the previous text of the initiative will be agreed on Friday, December 8. We will remind that in the occupied Kerch the gas pipeline caught fire, representatives of the Russian Federation did not exclude sabotage.
