A summit of European leaders opened this Thursday, March 10, 2022, in Versailles, near Paris.

On the agenda: economic responses to the war in Ukraine.

Today, Russia is the European Union's leading energy supplier.

In the wake of the United States, can the European Union decide on an embargo on Russian oil and gas?

How to get out of this dependence and with what funding?
