The European Union would be able to cope with a partial disruption to gas imports from Russia, European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen said, adding that the EU has spoken with several countries, including the US, Qatar and Egypt about increasing gas and liquefied natural gas (LNG) deliveries.
Escalating tensions with Russia over Ukraine have raised concerns about Russian gas flows to Europe, prompting the EU to review its contingency plans for supply shocks, and EU and US officials to seek alternative supplies.
