Ukraine, von der Leyen: “With Biden plan for gas from the US to the EU”

Ukraine-Russia war, the problem of gas supply will be at the center of a partnership between Europe and the United States. “We have decided to increase our support for Ukraine, to sharpen sanctions against Russia and to free ourselves from Russia’s fossil fuels” announced the President of the European Commission Ursula von der Leyen, on the sidelines of the European Council. “Tomorrow, together with President Joe Biden, we will present a new chapter in our energy partnership: it is about having more liquefied natural gas from the United States for the EU, which will replace the liquefied natural gas that has come to us from Russia so far.” Von der Leyen will meet Biden bilaterally in Brussels tomorrow morning. “Energy will also be an important topic in the European Council: the main objective will be joint purchasing, to have the power of the EU market and storage will also be an important topic”, she concludes.
