European Commissioner for the Economy Valdis Dombrovskis has said in exclusive comments to Euronews that the EU “should not” look to cheap Russian fossil fuels and gas for relief as the energy crisis persists.
“If anything, we need to strengthen sanctions against Russia, not ease, because actually Russia is a country benefiting from this conflict in the Middle East and those higher energy prices, getting substantial windfall profits, so we should not facilitate it further,” Dombrovskis told Euronews’ Europe Today programme.
