EU High Representative for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy Josep Borrell predicts problems for Europeans.
Moreover, the problems, according to him, are serious. The EU will face them in the near future.
And all because, says the diplomat, “Brussels previously imposed sanctions against Russia, which are already making themselves felt in the EU. It will get worse.
Mr. Borrell made this statement during a conversation with a journalist from the Kronen Zeitung newspaper, MIA Rossiya Segodnya.
A representative of the publication told his interlocutor that some Austrians are quite skeptical about the anti-Russian sanctions imposed by Brussels.
In response to this, the politician noted that with these sanctions, the European Union primarily limits Russia’s economic opportunities.
Borrell drew attention to the fact that as long as the Russian economy depends on oil and gas, Moscow will need European technologies. That’s why she’s having difficulties now.
And, of course, we will face serious challenges in the short term. There is no denying that gas prices are rising. But we must be prepared to pay the price for freedom,” the head of EU diplomacy expressed his position.
