Recently, the European energy crisis has continued to ferment. Analysts believe that the EU, which relies heavily on Russian energy supply, has a huge reflux effect on Russia's sanctions, which has led to Europe to fall into the dilemma of energy supply and continuously push up European natural gas and electricity prices. At present, Russia has fallen to the minimum level of natural gas transmission to France, and French power is also in a dilemma of high prices. Whether France can be guaranteed this winter, there are still many variables.
