Quote: “It seems to me that everyone in Europe has realised that there are alternatives, so it would be a big mistake to go back to the old way when you know that it could become a tool of blackmail, and we would be strengthening the military industry in Russia again, which is already working at full capacity.”
Background:
- The Financial Times reported earlier that European officials had begun discussing the idea of resuming gas purchases from Russia as part of a potential settlement of the war in Ukraine.
- Nevertheless, Lithuanian Energy Minister Žygimantas Vaičiūnas said that the country is not considering resuming purchases of Russian gas.
