Good meeting with 🇪🇪 President @AlarKaris.
 
We discussed the energy crisis and the options on the table.
 
The best way to end Russia’s energy blackmail is to diversify supply and accelerate the clean energy transition.

Estonia has everything it needs to achieve it.

At this critical juncture, we must rethink and reshape energy security in Europe.

I welcome the Member States’ agreement today on the 8th sanctions package.

We have moved quickly and decisively.

We will never accept Putin’s sham referenda nor any kind of annexation in Ukraine.

We are determined to continue making the Kremlin pay.

Putin has been using energy as a weapon, causing economic and social hardship.

The measures we have put in place provide us with a first buffer of protection.

Now we will step up to tackle rising energy costs ↓
