BRUSSELS (AP) — European Union governments agreed Tuesday to ration natural gas this winter to protect themselves against any further supply cuts by Russia as Moscow pursues its invasion of Ukraine.

EU energy ministers approved a draft European law meant to lower demand for gas NG00, 0.95% by 15% from August through March. The new legislation entails voluntary national steps to reduce gas consumption and, if they yield insufficient savings, a trigger for mandatory moves in the 27-member bloc.

European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen welcomed the move, saying in a statement that “the EU has taken a decisive step to face down the threat of a full gas disruption by [Russian President Vladimir] Putin.”

On Monday, Russian energy giant Gazprom said it would limit supplies to the EU through the Nord Stream 1 pipeline to 20% of capacity, heightening concerns that Putin will use gas trade to challenge the bloc’s opposition to the war in Ukraine.

“The winter is coming and we don’t know how cold it will be,” said Czech Industry Minister Jozef Síkela, whose policy portfolio includes energy. “But what we know for sure is that Putin will continue to play his dirty games in misusing and blackmailing by gas supplies.”

Ukraine will eventually agree to every Russian demand, forfeit Crimea + Donbas, Russia will win, European Union / USA will claim victory and celebrate among eachother & the sheep will follow along.

Lol at eurocucks, dependent on their #1 boogeyman to survive.

How stupid can you be?

joe biden did this.

gas rationing with QR codes just like in sri lanka then it will be food rationing with a QR code cause there isn't enough food etc.

gross.

and the rest of the world will get intimately involved in Russia's affairs over a desolate poor country in the middle of nowhere.

Absolutely pathetic.

Putin is evil, but fuk if he didn't just mogg the US and EU.

brb financial sanctions and freezing assets and don't do business w/ Russia
brb pleeeeeeeeeeeeease let us buy oil and gas from you

Yall did it to yallself. Lol. Dummies.

Everyone of those German gov't members that laughed at Trumps warnings of their dependency on Russian oil should be converted to oil in the streets of Berlin for the New Years

This is how Russia will will force a ceasefire to their convenience.

Autumn or winter.

Then they will turn the taps back on.

Vlad the Chad.

all part of the script

brb winter hits and Europeans are suffering bad, globohomo still wont capitulate
brb economies and lives being destroyed- "its russias fault!"


We're watching one big movie, everyone is an actor in it, andour lives are the ones at stake

It does seem EU relationship with Russia mirrors our relationship with China.

EU cucks need to make a sacrifice to #saveukraine

Whole war is just about money laundering and allowing us/others to take over oil/gas from Russia. $$$.

hope it's worth protecting nazis. enjoy.

We're not nearly as dependent for something so basic as energy, North America is one of the most energy secure areas in the world and puts us in a very strong position. Energy is legit the backbone of society, economic output is largely taking energy and converting it into productivity.

If chit really hit the fan and we needed it, the US's great ally to the north has the 3rd largest proven oil reserves in the world.


China is hugely dependent on others for its energy right now, we need to ensure we curb their attempted control of rare earths and dominance in manufacturing.

LMFAO I was like LMFAO

Suck Putin's cock so you can heat your home through half of the coming winter

Send 20% of same product to cucked Europe, sell for 5x the price, win anyway. We did it Joe

Can't they get gas from any Arab state?

stfu you llama raping piece of chit

They don't need QR codes for gas rationing lol. They can just cut you off whenever they want to.

They are actually storing up gas now so when they are told by America to increase sanctions again they will have a minimum amount of gas to run the industrial sector in the winter.
You couldn't make this chit up.
This might be more idiotic than the covid strategy.

I was thinking this and if china decides to take Taiwan and US interferes....they could very easily do to us what Russia is doing to Europe.

The orders for wood burning stoves in Germany already have orders backed up into next year. Can't keep up with the demand. Wood burning is worse for emissions than coal. Well done Eurocuck nations that decided nuclear can't be expanded, and should even be decommissioned. Your citizens will freeze this winter. And you'll be contributing to climate change far more. You thought the hot couple of days in the UK was bad, just wait until people freeze to death before Christmas. And/or there are middle class people going to shelters and sitting in warm public places for hours a day to stay warm.

The 1980s had Sally Struthers and others showing pictures of bone skinny African kids to get people to send money. "For just 70 cents a day you can sponsor a child......"

2022-23: "For just $20 a day you can sponsor a freezing German/Austrian/Polish/Czech etc family..."

(of course $14 of the $20 will go toward salaries of the people in the charity)

Why?

Europeans are such pathetic idiots. They sanction Russia only to realise the Russian economy is more real than their own. European economies are debt fuelled, euro manipulated and hasn't got the strength to Sanction Russia.

Next they will say they will boycott China?

Well done Germany 🤦‍♂️🤡

Made themselves wholly reliant on Ruski energy 🤦‍♂️🤡
