“Europe will not be divided by the Russian-imposed gas shortages they face,” Annalena Baerbock said on Tuesday, the German Foreign Minister.
Joining his Czech counterpart Jan Lipavsky in Prague for a joint press conference, Baerbock underlined: “We are underlining by this that we will not let ourselves be divided, where we as European Union (EU) states can also act against each other because gas is so scarce, but that we are together and that is the most important signal for the Russian president.”
“In the long term, the path is clear: Europe will gain sovereignty with the expansion of renewable energies,” she said.
She added that with every wind turbine and solar plant that Europe builds, they will gain “freedom” and “become stronger together”.
“It also means that we need to rapidly expand the infrastructure in Europe that we transport energy with,” she said.
The challenge for all European countries is to maintain security of supply, said Baerbock, noting that gas, not electricity, is the main source of heat supply in Germany.
