European Commission Vice President Maroš Šefčovič tells Global Insider
the EU is serious about throwing its financial weight around to limit
Russian oil and gas dependency, but admits it will take months to make a
dent on the problem. His message to American officials and companies:
“We need more” LNG and “we are ready to work with you.” A native of
Slovakia, Šefčovič warns that Putin wants nothing less than to overturn
the peaceful world order, and that because of the massive sums needed to
rebuild Ukraine and break dependencies on Russia (fossil fuels) and
China (critical minerals), now is the time to plan those investments.
