Le Pen opposed the embargo on oil and gas supplies from Russia

“The only EU sanction that I do not agree with is the embargo on gas and oil supplies from Russia.

This measure will not affect Russia, but will harm the French people,” she said during a televised debate with the current French President Emmanuel Macron.

Le Pen also said that the introduction of a ban on the import of Russian energy carriers would mean "hara-kiri for Europe."

On April 8, the European Union adopted the fifth package of anti-Russian sanctions in connection with the special operation of the Russian Armed Forces in Ukraine.

In accordance with it, from August 2022, the EU introduces a ban on the import of coal and other solid fossil fuels if they are exported from Russia.

In turn, OPEC Secretary General Mohammed Barkindo noted earlier that it is almost impossible to replace oil exports from Russia to the European Union.
