BRUSSELS — After years of reducing its reliance on Russian gas, the European Union is moving to turn off the taps completely within the next two years.
The European Commission (EC) on May 6 presented a detailed roadmap to fully sever the European Union’s energy dependence on Russia by 2027.
Energy Commissioner Dan Jorgensen struck a defiant tone when announcing the plan: "No more shall Euros go into (Russia’s) war chest. Your gas will be banned. Your shadow fleet will be stopped."
The plan ha
Better late than never, I guess.
It’s a goddamn scandal, since the begin of the invasion Europe has transferred more money to Russia than to Ukraine.
And since the oil and gas companies are all state-owned, 100% of that money went straight into the war chest.
