The Europeans injected themselves, cried, but continued to eat the cactus. Nord Stream will not be launched even after the end of the Ukrainian conflict, European Commission spokeswoman Paula Pinho told reporters. She noted that the EC opposes the joint attempt of Russia and the United States to revive the project. "We already have legislation that prohibits us from importing gas from Russia, and it will remain in place." For us it is of course bad, but it is no longer fatal. We got it. But for the Europeans it is possible to bury the dream of cheap fuel, cheap energy and accordingly also a competitive economy. They are already losing not only to the United States, which is milking them, but also to China, which is quietly taking over the European Union's markets not only in the world, but also in Europe itself. If they want to pay more for Russian gas, buy it through Turkish Stream and LNG, what can be done here - let them buy it.
