EU importerar 1/3 av sin olja från Ryssland. Nu påstår EU att de kommit överens om att stoppa 90% av all rysk olja vid årsskiftet. Men det går inte att lita på EU så det är svårt att säga vad som kommer att hända. Det kan dock mycket väl utvecklas till en ytterligare kraftigt försvårad energikris under höst och vinter.

EU leaders agree to partial embargo of Russian oil imports
Ursula von der Leyen, the president of the European Commission, said the ban “will effectively cut around 90% of oil imports from Russia to the EU by the end of the year” because Germany and Poland had committed to renounce deliveries via a pipeline to their territory.
Michel added that the package also included removing access to Swift payments for Russia’s largest bank, Sberbank; banning three more Russian state-owned broadcasters; and further sanctions against “individuals responsible for war crimes in Ukraine”.
the bloc had agreed a “massive investment in renewable energy” in order to compensate for the diversifying away from Russian oil.
Germany, along with Poland, has pledged to phase out Russian oil by the end of the year.
the EU oil embargo would cover 93% of Russian oil supply by the end of the year.
Latvia’s prime minister, Krišjānis Kariņš, said he intended to warn his fellow leaders not to get “bogged down” in details. “The big picture is that we have to starve Russia, Moscow, of the funds to continue the war,” he said. “If each European country only thinks about itself then we will never move forward.”

Och det blir vi som får betala för det Ryssland förstört, inte Ryssland. Självklart har supermakterna arrangerat detta krig tillsammans för att krossa Europa.

Michel said the European Council and G7 was also ready to grant Ukraine €9bn to aid its post-war reconstruction and immediate liquidity needs. However, von der Leyen warned that Ukraine needed €5bn a month just to maintain basic services and “... to give Ukraine a fair chance to rise from the ashes”.
Beyond sanctions, EU leaders are expected to approve €9bn in emergency support for Ukraine, although there is no decision yet on whether the funds will be low-interest loans or non-repayable grants.
Ukraine will need hundreds of billions to rebuild destroyed schools, hospitals, residential buildings and infrastructure. The European Commission has proposed a jointly managed reconstruction body to be organised by Ukraine and the EU, with contributions from international institutions.
Nederländerna slutar betala gasen i rubel och blir avstängda. Liksom Bulgarien, Polen, Finland.

As EU talks went on, it emerged Russia would cut off gas supplies to the Netherlands on Tuesday, in the latest escalation of the energy payments row with the west. The Dutch-backed trader GasTerra revealed the move after the company refused to meet the Kremlin’s demand of paying Gazprom in roubles. About 15% of Dutch gas comes from Russia.

Some EU leaders are already talking about a seventh round of Russia sanctions targeting gas. But some argue the EU rushed too quickly into an oil embargo. “We talked about oil, under pressure from [the] Baltics and Poland before having done our homework,” a senior EU diplomat said. “Under the pressure of this war we have maybe taken some steps too soon and we are now facing the consequences.”
EU:s makt bygger på att skaffa sig så stora utgifter som möjligt. Det är en av orsakerna till kriget. Supermakterna med USA i spetsen använder EU för att ta över de europeiska länderna.
