(ANSA) – BRUSSELS, JULY 26 – The new drastic cut in gas supplies announced by Gazprom is “further proof” that Europe must “reduce its dependence on Russian supplies as soon as possible”, said Jozef Sikela, Czech Minister of Energy, whose country holds the rotating presidency of the Council of the EU.
“Unity and solidarity are the best weapons we have against (Russian President Vladimir) Putin and I am sure that is what we will demonstrate today,” Sikela said, ahead of a meeting in Brussels with his 27 counterparts to agree an EU gas consumption reduction plan. (HANDLE).
