“The responsible persons of the European Union have already admitted that they cannot do without Russian energy carriers,” Pikin said.
According to him, numerous statements by European leaders indicate that "there will be no sanctions of an energy nature."
“It is simply impossible to replace Russia, in particular in terms of gas, in the near future.
Any shocks in the coal and oil market associated with the embargo simply lead to huge prices ... In the event of an embargo, there will be prices that have never been in history, the same with coal, ”Pikin explained.
Earlier, MP Mariani warned of a catastrophe in Europe due to the refusal of Russian gas.
