Today @EU_Commission is proposing a new emergency regulation to address high gas prices & ensure security of supply.
This will be done through:
➡️joint gas purchasing
➡️price limiting mechanisms
➡️transparent infrastructure use
➡️solidarity between MS
➡️reduction of gas demand
We have prepared well for the winter ahead, achieving over 92% filling of our gas storage, saving energy, and finding new suppliers.
Now we have to tackle volatile prices and insecurity on gas markets ⤵️

I know that Ukrainians will stay strong.
We will stand with Ukraine for as long as it takes, with all the means we have.
