Infrastructure Minister Jernej Vrtovec underscored the need to diversify the EU’s gas supplies and to synchronise Ukraine’s power grid with Europe’s as he addressed reporters after an emergency EU ministerial in Brussels discussed the impact of the Russian invasion of Ukraine on the energy market.
Being that the EU depends heavily on Russian gas, diversification of oil and gas supply sources is urgently needed to ensure that gas and oil supplies are not disrupted by escalations such as the current one and potential future tensions, said Vrtovec.
