Spanish Prime Minister: Russia is not only fighting with Ukraine, but also fighting the entire EU

According to the European version of the Politico report on the 20th, the Spanish Prime Minister Sanchez claimed in an interview with the website on Tuesday that Russia not only fights against Ukraine, but also fights with the entire EU, but also the Russia is losing this. Military operations will only make the European Union stronger.

Sanchez accused Russia of "energy use for war tools" because of "threats to EU values." Sanchez also accused the Russian side that has pushed up European energy prices and "forced" the large -scale intervention of the European governments in Europe to reduce the economic pain of family and companies. At the same time, he insisted that these situations are actually promoting the EU "more closely unite". Today's Russian TV (RT) website pointed out that after Western countries' comprehensive sanctions against Russia due to Russia and Ukraine conflicts, EU countries are facing an energy crisis.

During the interview, Sanchez also believed that the European Union was learning from a series of crises that had troubled the European continent since 2008. As the latest example of this trend, he listed that the EU governments reached an agreement to concentrate on debt, coordinate coordination and coordination Defense input and dependence on Russian energy.

The Spanish Prime Minister also said that the European energy system is now "a market that does not work" and requires creative new policies, and these policies are unimaginable a few years ago. "Learn from the (new crown pneumonia) epidemic model, why don't we buy natural gas like buying vaccines?" The Spanish Prime Minister asked. He also used this to talk about leaders in other countries, "Do not use this energy crisis to hinder progress in response to climate crisis."

The United States "Political" News Network commented that European political leaders are now facing dilemma. On the one hand, they have previously made expensive commitments to promote green transformation of energy. On the other hand, as winter approaches, countries need to maintain lighting and heating.

The Russian media RT mentioned that before Sanchez made the above remarks, a recent survey report from Bloomberg, USA showed that due to the surge in energy prices and restrictions on energy supply, economists expect the risk of the euro zone to fall into economic recession has reached 7 in 2020. The highest level since the month, that is, the possibility of contraction in two consecutive quarters in the next 12 months is 80%, which is higher than the 60%of the previous surveys.

RT pointed out that the EU energy crisis was mainly caused by the EU's implementation of oil embargo on Russia and sanctions on Russia's natural gas supply. In early July, due to the technical problems of sanctions and the "Beixi-1" natural gas pipeline, the reduction of natural gas supplied by Russia further exacerbated this crisis. Due to the technical problems caused by sanctions, the "Beixi-1" channel has been completely closed at the end of last month. Although many EU leaders blame the energy crisis on Russia, Russia insists that the EU's issue is caused by itself. The EU's sanctions on Russia decided to "commit suicide" economically. (Edit: HHJ)
