Commissioner Jorgensen: EU Will Not Import A Single Molecule Of Energy From Russia

You can't repeat the mistakes of the past.

European Energy Commissioner Dan Jorgensen has spoken out against renewed energy cooperation with Russia amid the crisis in the Middle East, Radio Liberty reports.

"In the European Union we have decided that we do not want to import Russian energy... It is extremely important that we stay the course. We cannot in Europe directly help finance Russia's brutal and illegal war. We have been dependent on Russian energy for too long, which allowed Putin to blackmail us," the politician emphasized, commenting on Belgian Prime Minister Bart de Wever's calls to reconsider relations with Russia.

The European Commissioner noted that the EU is determined to stick to its intended course of independence from Russian energy.

"It would be a mistake to repeat what we have done in the past. So the message is very clear: in the future we will not import even a single molecule from Russia," he added.

Jorgensen noted that the growth of the share of renewable energy sources in Europe, as well as greater interconnectivity of energy systems will contribute to lower prices.
