The Kremlin's gas wars

The European Union and other major economies have imposed swift,
broad and devastating sanctions in response to Russia’s invasion
of Ukraine. But given Europe’s energy dependence on Russian
natural gas, there is a growing fear across the continent that
Russia could hit back. Bruegel’s Guntram Wolff and Simone
Tagliapietra discuss how Europe can withstand Russia’s counter
sanctions and keep in unity.
