Von der Leyen, Moscow blackmails us on gas, we must prepare

(ANSA) - BRUSSELS, JULY 20 - "Russia is blackmailing us on gas but Europe is prepared".

This was stated by the president of the EU Commission, Ursula von der Leyen, presenting the emergency plan on gas.

"We are not starting from scratch, but we must do more. We must prepare for a complete interruption of the Russian gas. It is a probable scenario, which would have an impact on the whole Union," she added.
