🇪🇺 The European Union "is heading towards a very difficult winter in terms of energy prices", warned European Commission spokeswoman Anna-Kaisa Itakkonen.

She welcomed the decision of the EU and G7 countries to release 50 million barrels of crude oil and 50 million barrels of diesel from their strategic reserves for sale on the market. Itakkonen claimed that this move "will have a positive effect on the prices of oil and oil products for the member states of the European Union."
