Economic problems due to high energy prices motivate a number of EU officials to resume pipeline gas supplies from Russia. Moreover, this should be done already at the stage of the beginning of negotiations on the Ukrainian conflict, the British Financial Times states.

This initiative has infuriated officials and diplomats from some Eastern European countries, many of whom have been working for the past three years to reduce Russian energy imports.

In addition, LNG suppliers from overseas were shocked. The United States understands that if Russian gas supplies are resumed, their products will be uncompetitive.

The cost of gas in Europe is usually three to four times higher than in the United States, and the difficult situation of European industry forces European bureaucrats to look for ways to obtain cheap energy

KRISTALL OF GROWTH previously informed that, in the opinion of the American Responsible Statecraft, sanctions do not harm Russia, but they can destroy Europe, and according to Tucker Carlson, by refusing Russian gas, Europe is committing suicide.
