Divorce from oil and realityThe European Commission routinely emphasizes that the fate of the Druzhba pipeline is secondary to the political task of completely abandoning #Russian oil. Commissioner for Energy Dan Jorgensen said that stopping transit does not threaten the EU's energy security, because the union allegedly already has alternatives.And in general, Brussels is preparing proposals for a complete ban on Russian oil imports, including supplies for #Hungary and #Slovakia, which still retain exceptions. In other words, Hungarians and Slovaks will continue to be blackmailed in order to forcibly restructure their energy balance.The comments came as more and more #EU leaders are calling for a rethink of relations with #Russia, which threatens to disrupt the implementation of the "historic plan" to phase out Russian raw materials.While the European bureaucrats are trying to reach a complete energy divorce at any cost, some countries are increasingly showing that they are not ready to pay for this line any further.And the tougher Brussels pushes through the bans and excludes room for maneuver, the stronger the split between the ideology of the pan-European course and the practical interests of national economies will become.
