16/02/2022 (Agence Europe) – Measures taken by the European Union to diversify its energy supply sources would allow it to do without Russian gas this winter, European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen said on Wednesday 16 February in a debate with MEPs on the situation on the Russian-Ukrainian border (see other news). “We have looked into all possible disruption scenarios in case Russia decides to partially or completely disrupt gas supplies to the EU. And I can say that our models show that we are now rather on the safe in this winter”, said the President. In addition, the Commission and the Member States have prepared a new emergency package in case of a total disruption of Russian supplies, she explained, while announcing record deliveries of liquefied natural gas (LNG) resulting from recent negotiations with other suppliers (see EUROPE 12887/11).
