Ukraine warns Europe about the risks of returning to Russian gas
Published
Ukrainian Foreign Minister Andrii Sybiha said that resuming purchases of Russian fuel could bring back energy blackmail. He also said such a situation could create the conditions for new energy crises in Europe.
According to the minister, Ukraine is drawing the attention of its European partners to this issue. For our country and for the entire continent, energy security remains an important topic. Recent years have shown that dependence on a single supplier can have serious consequences for the economy and for people.
Sybiha's statement says that Europe has already reduced its dependence on Russian energy resources. Therefore, in the view of the Ukrainian side, any steps backward require careful discussion. For now, the details of the new purchases are not specified in the message.
This statement comes against the backdrop of discussions about the European Union's energy policy. The Ukrainian side emphasizes that supply security and independence from hostile states must remain the main priorities.
