),” Borrell said in a statement to TASS.
He explained that for this, negotiations are underway with allies, primarily with the United States and Qatar, who will be able to provide additional supplies.
“We do not believe that Russia can completely cut off gas supplies to Europe,” added the head of EU diplomacy.
Earlier, Italian Foreign Minister Luigi Di Maio said that Russia is an indispensable partner in gas supplies to Europe.
In turn, Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Alexander Pankin said that Russia is not interested in a gas crisis in the EU.
