The EC shared concerns about the consequences of the embargo on Russian gas supplies for the EU

She recalled that the EU is currently working on the sixth package of anti-Russian sanctions.

According to Yurova, before introducing new restrictions, it is necessary to check the readiness of the Union countries to take these measures.

“The starting position, especially with regard to gas, is not easy.

A complete gas embargo could cause a serious energy crisis in a number of countries, ”RIA Novosti quotes her.

Yurova called on Europe to end its dependence on Russian energy as soon as possible.

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.

As von der Leyen previously said, the sixth package of EU sanctions against Russia considers measures against the banking sector and the energy sector.
