Energy It has been taking various measures for months to eliminate its dependence on Russia in the field and trying to diversify its resources. European Union has reached an important stage in this direction. The EU’s dependence on Russian natural gas fell to 7.5 percent.
GRADUAL REDUCTION
EU Commission President Ursula von der Leyen said that they managed to get rid of Russian coal completely and said, “We will reduce the share of oil purchased from Russia to 10 percent by the end of the year. At the beginning of the war, Russia’s share in imported gas was 40 percent. We reduced this to 7.5 percent in 7 months,” he said. Von der Leyen, at a press conference after meeting with Estonian Prime Minister Kaja Kallas in Tallinn, described the current rates as “massive efforts to move from Russian fossil fuels to reliable suppliers and invest in renewable energy.”
