The EU will accelerate green energy development programs and increase investment in RES to achieve zero energy dependence on Russia.
This was stated by the President of the European Parliament Robert Metzol during a Ukrainian breakfast in Davos, ICTV Fakty reports on YouTube.
She agreed with journalist Farid Zakaria that oil and gas were key in Putin's car.
"If democracy and freedom are truly priceless, then we must separate ourselves from our enemies," Metsola said.
She noted that many meetings were held to explain to other countries that it is impossible to rely 100% on Russian gas. However, the countries felt comfortable, as this gas was cheaper and there were other priorities.
The ultimate goal of all discussions should be the EU's zero energy dependence on Russia.
Metsola explained that it is necessary to invest more in renewable energy sources and do it faster. After all, the green program was "ejected" by catalysts, which did not exist a few months ago.
“Our goals are related to the environment and security. And if our goal is zero dependence on Russia, then the implementation of the sanctions package and the discussion of the next steps must be continued and we must be united here, "Mezzola concluded.
She also noted that in addition to the energy crisis, there is a problem with food shortages.
We will remind, research Greenpeace has shown that Russia's gas and nuclear lobbying threatens the EU's energy independence.
As EcoPolitics reported earlier, EU will burn more coal to abandon Russian energy.
