OREANDA-NEWS The EU countries have put themselves in a vulnerable position by rejecting Russian energy supplies, Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Alexander Grushko said in an interview with RIA Novosti.
According to the diplomat, the crisis in the Persian Gulf is likely to worsen the problems of the European Union in the economy and energy sector and increase their dependence on fuel supplies from the United States.
"So far, the European Commission has only one answer to all questions - widespread savings. Following an extraordinary informal meeting of the EU Council on Energy on March 31 this year, European Commissioner Dan Jorgensen recommended that European residents once again "tighten their belts": save fuel, switch to remote work, and abandon car and air transport," Grushko said.
