the shutdown of the pipeline supplies from russia. milder temperatures, the gas supply has been more than enough. you are exactly right. if you can take a look at business analysts on this topic, just a few months ago, maybe this time last year, a lot of them were conflicted and had a self interest in driving up the hysteria, despite records in oil and gas. and also, not many people include whether. the supply is also fantastic, it s independent of the weather that was favorable. the labor national gas that they had, norway, adrian supplies, all of these other countries, dwarfs anything that russia had ever provided in terms of gas to the eu. it s two thirds of their economy, based on energy. 86% of their gas, nobody wants, nobody wants to buy it. we are delivering it to them. and similarly with oil, you don t need russian oil. what s amazing is that the oil prices are down below where they were before the war and the national gas prices are now down compared to before the war. and w
it is good not to pay euros to putin. you have to develop alternative energy supply. you have to, for example, get more oil and gas from the u.s. or other countries without rogue regimes like putin s. also, for example, when they say they are dependent on russian gas and oil, we still insist on an embargo. we are saying there can be some exemptions but fair ones. for example, only some countries really depend on some pipeline supplies with russian oil and gas. they could keep it, for example, for some time. then to make it fair, there should be a special duty on oil supplies. they are not just benefiting off russian oil and gas as they say they are so critically dependent. they can pay some additional tax on it. we are advocating an idea of escrow accounts. okay. you can get this energy but don t give putin this money now.
