US sees 'challenges' in finding alternative sources of energy supplies to EU if Russia invades Ukraine and cuts gas flow to EU which depends on Moscow for around a third of LPG supplies
There are"logistical challenges, especially moving natural gas," says Washington, which is holding talks with companies over a potential diversion of energy supplies to Europe if Russia invades Ukraine.
US has faced challenges in finding alternative sources of energy supplies to Europe if Russia invades Ukraine and energy flows from Russia are interrupted, the White House said but pledged to continue talks with companies and countries. Psaki said she had no announcements to make, but said the objective was clearly to mitigate against the potential regional and global consequences of a disruption in energy supplies and ensure that sufficient supplies were available.Moscow could reduce supplies to the EU, which would send the bloc's already sky-high energy bills soaring even further in the middle of winter.
Wolff said the EU has gas reserves that would last just "a couple" of weeks if Russia were to turn off the tap.
