About this episode

Yesterday, Russia announced that it will halt natural gas supply to Poland and Bulgaria, renewing questions of European decoupling from Russian gas.

Cristian Silviu Busoi, a Romanian member of the European Parliament and President of Industry for the Research and Energy Committee, joins Giselle and Dalibor to discuss Europe's dependence on Russian oil.

Cristian assesses the intersection of Europe's goal to reduce its total consumption of gas with the conflict in Ukraine, how the US can help Europe reduce Russian oil dependence, and Romania's role in NATO and as a leader in the Black Sea.
