Fueling the Flames? Europe’s Energy Dependence on Russia
summary
EU leaders debate a sixth sanctions package including an oil embargo while one member state blocks consensus, and Russia continues cutting supplies (recently to Finland) and manipulating Ukrainian transit. Panelists give concrete figures: 20 billion euros per month that Europe pays Russia; Ukrainian transit disruption costing about 1 billion euro per year. Practical responses on the table are three plus one lines of action — diversify LNG and oil suppliers, build interconnectors and terminals, accelerate wind and solar, and cut indoor temperature by 1–2°C to reduce demand.
