Dropping Russian fossil fuels is a moral duty, President Zelensky said

The EU must speed up the transition to green energy in order to properly punish Russia for the attack against Ukraine, President Volodymyr Zelensky told the Danish Parliament on Tuesday. He said Russia was able to launch its attack against his country thanks to the revenue from oil.

Zelensky addressed Danish lawmakers in a video address, in which he claimed that the damage done to his nation by Russia was already worse than during World War II, while urging them to increase the pressure on Moscow.

“Sanctions against Russia must be ramped up. Constantly. You need to reject Russian oil, block trade with the Russian Federation, close ports to Russian ships,” he said.

He added that the Russian attack serves as another argument for “speeding up [the] ‘green’ transformation on the continent,” arguing that the “crazy revenue from the energy trade allows the Russian leadership to be defiant, to break common rules.”

The Ukrainian president lashed out at Hungary for not being supportive enough of his country in the face of Russian military action.

“Europe should have no place for ‘branches’ of Russia splitting the EU from the inside, trying to help Russia earn even more money,” Zelensky said. “Everybody knows who in the EU opposes humanity and common sense. Who does nothing for peace in Ukraine. This must be stopped, and Europe should stop taking excuses from Budapest.”

The EU declared its intention to wean itself off Russian energy as it imposed unprecedented sanctions on Moscow in response to the crisis in Ukraine, but acknowledged it would take years to do so. The bloc is particularly reliant on Russian natural gas, which accounts for around 40% of total consumption and 45% of total imports.

Hungary opposed attempts to restrict energy imports from Russia, saying it depends on them to meet its basic demands. It also refused to allow arms shipments from NATO nations to pass through its territory to Ukraine, citing national security concerns.

The standoff over energy also has a financial aspect. Russia announced it no longer intends to sell gas to “unfriendly nations” for dollars or euros, two currencies that depend on Western financial institutions. Western nations seized Russia’s national reserves denominated in these currencies as part of the sanctions war. Moscow wants to be paid in its national currency, the ruble, instead.

Western nations have rejected the demand, saying it violates standing contracts. The EU is bracing for a potential escalation of tensions and disruption of supplies from Russia.

Seeking for cheap likes. If they go green, then the dependence on Russia oil and gas is reduced. That's strategic thinking

Let see if Europeans will agree to freeze to death for Ukraine

So, the green whatever will immediately replaced Russian oil just in a twinkle of an eye? This can be possible, maybe in the next 100years.

And how sustainable will that be right NOW?

Have you any idea how much more research and infrastructure will be needed to even make that commercially viable for the whole EU?

Naso e easy?

Lol..go green ke...how about the manufacturing industries in those countries..will they also go green?

they should go green as if its that easy. this fool dont know the amount of dollars to be spent to make an industrial continent go green. there are levels of industry green can go for...if you talking big industrial machines and constant power for heavy use, gas and oil is cheaper than green...

this nigga is a tool used by west. he is only doing his masters bidding at the expense of his citizens.
