US President Joe Biden speaking in Warsaw, PolandMOSCOW, Mar 27 U.S. President Biden has declared himself the savior of Europe from energy dependence on Russia, but it will not be easy to organize a rapid increase in supplies of liquefied natural gas sent to the EU, the Politico newspaper writes. The day before, as recalled in the article, the American leader said that Washington is ready help the European Union get rid of dependence on Russian fuel. At the same time, the United States and Europe have set a goal to supply additional 15 billion cubic meters of gas to European markets — this is 40 percent of the total gas consumption in the EU. The expert commented on the decision to sell gas to Europe for rubles. However, according to a high-ranking American official, it will not be easy to supply such a volume of raw materials: you will have to convince Asia to refuse already booked deliveries in order to send LNG to Europe. According to the International Energy Agency, if the EU tightens its belts and will introduce renewable energy sources as soon as possible, dependence on Russian gas will only be reduced by a third this year, and not by two-thirds, as Brussels believes. On the morning of February 24, Russia launched a military special operation to demilitarize Ukraine. According to the Ministry of Defense, the armed forces strike only at military infrastructure and Ukrainian troops. In response, the Western countries approved a series of new sanctions against Russia, and in Europe statements about the need to reduce dependence on Russian energy resources began to sound louder.
