Brussels (Belgium) റഷ്യ The United States and the European Union have formulated an alternative plan, warning Russia not to create energy shortages. After the talks, US President Joe Biden said the move was aimed at changing the way European countries rely on Russia for energy. The United States will supply 15 billion cubic meters of LNG to the European market this year.
Russia accounts for 40% of the EU’s energy needs. Biden had said that Russian President Vladimir Putin was trying to stop neighboring countries in the name of energy.
Joe Biden also began his visit to Poland, which has the largest Ukrainian refugee population (36 million). Biden arrived in Sezov, a U.S. military base. He will hold talks with President Andrei Duda in the capital, Warsaw.
Meanwhile, Ukrainian President Selensky called on the 27 – member alliance to grant EU membership as soon as possible. He also requested that Hungary and Germany not stand in the way of membership.
Russia has accused the United States of negotiating chemical weapons to avoid questions being raised against it. Biden had warned yesterday that the NATO alliance would intervene if Russia used chemical weapons. Russia has also scoffed at Biden’s call for his expulsion from the G20.
Meanwhile, Ukraine has accused Russia of abducting more than 400,000 civilians, including 84,000 children, from eastern Ukraine. But Russia says it has rehabilitated Russian-speaking people in the region.
