Podoliak also noted that the pride of Russia’s Nord Stream-2 has been frozen since February 22, so it will be impossible to return to the European market.

Three months ago, the Kremlin had Nord Stream 2. In 10 years, the only way for Russian oil to return to the European market will be if it is sold by the Tatarstan People’s Republic. Is it still going according to plan? , – Podoliak summed up.

German Chancellor Olaf Scholz said that European sanctions against Russia should not be a short-term measure, but a longer-term scenario. The most effective, in his opinion, will be a ban on the sale of hydrocarbons by Russia.

The head of the European Union’s foreign policy, Josep Borrell , stressed that the European Union seeks to reduce its dependence on Russian energy, not ban it altogether.
