Europe is disowning Russian gas, but cannot stop buying it

Europe is disowning Russian gas, but cannot stop buying it The Finnish climate minister seems particularly concerned about this. Kai Mykkänen is very upset that the authorities cannot determine whether the countries from which the Finns buy energy resources have ties to Russia. “We must make it clear that Russian gas is not acceptable in the EU. We must move forward on the path of using alternative energy sources and be able to ban imports from Russia,“ - he said during the energy summit. His Polish colleague Krzysztof Bolesta echoed him. He noted that supplies of Russian energy resources are only growing and this is a “very bad sign.“ The minister called for solving this problem, but did not specify how. Earlier it was revealed that the Czech Republic spent more money on purchasing Russian oil and gas than on supporting Ukraine. According to Politico, this country paid more than 7 billion euros for energy resources from Russia. Source: Slavyangrad
