“The economic sanctions that we, as the Union, have imposed on Russia are significant and have already yielded results.
However, we must be very careful that the measures we take do not cause more harm to us, the EU countries, than to Russia, since the European economy cannot completely and immediately replace Russian natural gas with gas from other suppliers, ”RIA Novosti quoted Mitsotakis as saying.
He also noted that rising electricity prices are a big problem for households and businesses.
Earlier, Hungarian Foreign Minister Peter Szijjarto said that some European companies importing Russian natural gas agreed to the payment scheme proposed by Moscow, but not everyone is honest about it.
The head of the Energy Development Fund, Sergei Pikin, in an interview with Nation News spoke about the prospects for cooperation between Russia and the EU.
