At today’s Eurogroup meeting in Luxembourg, I stressed how Europe can seize the moment to strengthen energy independence. A true energy union will make Europe more resilient in a shock-prone world.

The U.S. has imposed sanctions on Cuba’s state-owned oil and gas company, Cupet, accusing it of weaponizing energy and exacerbating the island's existing fuel shortages, further straining relations between the two nations amidst ongoing economic and political tensions. #Cuba #Sanctions #EnergyCrisis
New figures show that there are now more than HALF A MILLION energy accounts in arrears - record numbers unable to pay electricity and gas bills! From July 1st - 1.2 million customers will be hit with further energy price hikes and higher bills. The pressure is growing on #EnergyCrisis #RisingBills #FinancialStrain #Therearenospecificcountrymentionsinthetweet.Therefore #nocountrycodescanbereturned.
The inflation redistribution machine running full steam again. Energy prices are the largest contributor to inflation. Inflation pushes down real wages making the vast majority poorer. The flip side of high energy prices is windfall profits benefitting the richest of the rich. https://t.co/r0LceUtaIe #Inflation #EnergyPrices #WealthInequality #Therearenospecificcountriesmentionedinthetweet.Therefore #theresultisempty:
Yesterday, the European Commission presented its proposal for the EU’s 21st package of sanctions against Russia. The sanctions package focuses specifically on energy, the financial sector, trade, and preventing the circumvention of sanctions.

I had a great discussion with HRVP @kajakallas on Europe’s policy priorities. We discussed the uneven economic impacts of the conflict in the Middle East, how pivotal it is for the EU to deepen its single market and complete the energy union, and our ongoing support to Ukraine. https://t.co/N35dztPSq2 #EU #EnergyUnion #Ukraine #EU #UA #IL #PS

⚡ Energy security has become one of the defining challenges of our time. Recent crises have shown that energy security is about more than energy supply. It is about resilience, competitiveness and strategic autonomy. And this is what we are aiming at. https://t.co/8RdignRmK4 #EnergySecurity #Resilience #StrategicAutonomy #Therearenospecificcountrymentionsinthetweetprovided.
While the EC gambled on Russian gas and German green ideology, PiS was planning ahead and pushing towards nuclear energy. American technology can lead to Polish independence. One small pellet = one year of energy for a Polish citizen. That's not a promise - that's physics. The #NuclearEnergy #PolishIndependence #EnergyFuture #RU #DE #PL #US
The Russian Ministry of Energy acknowledged that there is a gasoline crisis in southern Russia and that it arose from attacks by the Ukrainian Armed Forces, and not from a "sharp increase in demand" or "artificial hype," as authorities had claimed. #GasolineCrisis #RussiaUkraineConflict #EnergyCrisis #RU #UA
Diena Nr. 7 Premjera krēslā Šodien aprit nedēļa, kopš esmu Premjers. Sajūta gan tāda, it kā būtu pagājis jau mēnesis. ➖ Gatavošanās 🇪🇪 vizītei pārvērtās par gaisa telpas apdraudējuma vadību. ➖ Drona notriekšanā liela nozīme bija ātrai lēmumu pieņemšanai un operatīvai rīcībai, izmantojot NBS un NATO potenciālu, lai notriektu dronu 🇱🇻 gaisa telpā. Liels paldies sabiedroto spēkiem un R. Melnim par profesionālo darbu. ➖ Nodevu PM stafeti @MarisKucinskis, lai manas prombūtnes laikā vadītu sadarbības sanāksmi un MK sēdi. ➖ Šodien man bija zīmīga pirmā ārvalstu vizīte pie mūsu brāļiem un kaimiņiem 🇪🇪, kur tikos ar PM @KristenMichalPM un spīkeru @LauriHussar. Aktuālākie jautājumi bija par visiem projektiem, kuru nosaukumā ir vārds “Baltic” 😀. Mums ir ļoti daudz kā kopīga un saprotam, ka šajos ģeopolitiskajos apstākļos mēs neesam konkurenti, bet gan cieši sabiedrotie. Izteicu arī savu nostāju, ka mums kopā jāveido kopīga Baltijas enerģētikas stratēģija, kopējs aizsardzības kupols sadarbībā ar 🇺🇦, kopīga cīņa un risinājumi 🇷🇺 ēnu flotes jautājumā, kopīga pozīcija ES pierobežas tūlītāja atbalsta risinājumā ➖ Apmeklēju 🇱🇻 vēstniecību 🇪🇪. ➖ Cītīgi gatavojos rītdienas NB8 vizītei un tikšanās reizēm ar 🇺🇦 prezidentu Zelenski un 🇫🇷 prezidentu Makronu. P.S. Amizants stāsts — 🇪🇪 premjeram ir identiska problēma ar MP biroja vēsturiskā galda augstumu. Viņa gadījumā galds jāpaceļ par 10 cm, lai to varētu ērti izmantot 😀 #Baltic #NATO #energystrategy
The IRGC warned that further Israeli strikes on Iranian energy infrastructure would provoke retaliatory attacks on regional energy assets, following a series of cross-border strikes that included hits on Iran's Karun petrochemical plant and facilities in Haifa, with Iran suggesting that energy companies with US or Israeli ties would be considered legitimate targets. #Iran #IRGC #EnergySecurity
Russia’s continued bombardment of Ukraine’s nuclear facilities, and its deliberate weaponisation of energy, is a calculated gamble with nuclear safety that pushes Europe closer to another catastrophe. This level of Kremlin recklessness cannot go unanswered. It demands #RussiaUkraineWar #NuclearSafety #EnergyCrisis #RU #UA
While government allows energy companies to profiteer off the back of us all, they're planning to put the public on the line for €26 billion of fines for failing to meet our targets. Climate action should make life better for people, but this government refuses to act. #ClimateAction #EnergyCrisis #GovernmentFailure #Therearenospecificcountrycodesmentionedinthetweet.
Decent chance the energy and food crisis cause migrant flows in the coming months. Existential moment for Hungary. 🇭🇺 #MigrantCrisis #EnergyCrisis #FoodCrisis #HU
Instead of an Ireland for the rich like we have, we need an Ireland where people come before profit. We need price caps to give certainty on costs, but to do that we must bring energy back into public ownership, and run it on a not-for-profit basis to cut out the profiteering. https://t.co/0tYTNBJUPI #IrelandForAll #PublicOwnership #EnergyJustice #IE
Early indicators flashing orange that the energy crisis might, in turn, generate a “twin crisis” US equity and bond markets. If this happens it could be the beginning of the end of the global dollar. 🇺🇸💵 https://t.co/TVXOiAWz7m #EnergyCrisis #GlobalDollar #MarketWarnings #US
It took only a few weeks for the protests to start in Budapest. You can’t campaign on one thing and then do the opposite. They will only grow. Especially as the energy crisis sets in. 🇭🇺 #Budapest #Protests #EnergyCrisis #HU
If the markets were rational, energy markets should be freaking out this tool is the Energy Secretary of the United States. #EnergySecretary #EnergyMarkets #MarketRationality #US
“Over the past five decades, the U.S. has shifted from heavy oil dependence to becoming a net exporter of petroleum, fundamentally altering its exposure to global oil market disruptions”. https://t.co/Xx8EpcjlqP #OilIndependence #NetExporter #EnergyTransition #US
