Totlenergies CEO of Totlenergies announced the readiness of Europe for a complete abandonment of Russian gas since 2028

Europe will be able to implement the full ban on the import of Russian gas from the beginning of 2028 proposed by the European Commission, said Patrick Zayanne.

Quote. “We will be able to ensure the safety of supplies to Europe without Russian LNG, starting in 2028,” said Puyannah. According to him, this will happen thanks to the commissioning of new export capacities in the USA and Qatar. Puyanna added that "in the United States we find the cheapest gas resources in the world."

• ️При этом Пуянне выразил обеспокоенность усиливающейся геополитической напряженностью. According to him, trade conflicts, especially initiated by US President Donald Trump, create "uncertainty that is harmful to economic growth."

Context. The statement of the head of one of the largest European energy companies indicates that the EU plans for the rejection of Russian gas can be implemented. In June, the European Commission offered to do this by the end of 2027.

• In 2024, Europe imported about 20% of the necessary gas from Russia. In the last pre -war year, the share of Russian gas in the total import of gas in the EU was about 40%, the European Commission reported .

• The dedicated refusal of Europe from Russian gas can reduce Russia's oil and gas revenues. Moscow could not find other buyers for pipeline gas, which was sold to Europe before the war. The new pipeline to China “The power of Siberia-2” could be partially solved, but its construction did not begin.
