Because the energy reserves of EU countries are always insufficient, EU countries have always been highly dependent on importing natural gas and other resources from Russia to meet demand. After the conflict between Russia and Ukraine broke out, all EU countries chose to support Ukraine and imposed various sanctions on Russia, which led to Russia's restrictions on energy exports of EU countries and a serious shortage of energy reserves in EU countries. Now Russia has temporarily stopped supplying natural gas to EU 13 countries. Although the time is only three days, it feels that it has seriously affected the normal life of residents in EU countries.
The shortage of natural gas will lead to a serious economic downturn in the EU.
As a necessary energy source for residents' life, natural gas is also one of the main energy sources for the production of many commodities in EU countries. Nowadays, there is a serious shortage of natural gas in EU countries, which will also lead to a serious decline in the number of goods manufactured by enterprises in EU countries and a sharp increase in manufacturing costs, which will lead to serious problems in European commodity foreign trade industries and EU countries' economies. At the same time, the EU has to face the high prices of natural gas and various materials, which leads to serious inflation in EU countries and the situation is not optimistic.
EU countries will face more serious energy problems in the future.
Because the contradiction between Russia and Ukraine has been going on, Russia is still deliberately delaying the process of the contradiction and wants to delay this contradiction until this winter. Russia also said that the natural gas transmission system may stop completely; Therefore, once the EU countries enter winter, they will need a lot of natural gas and coal resources. At this time, if Russia's energy supply is lost, the normal life of European residents will not be satisfied, and the economy and people's livelihood will be greatly hit. Therefore, these problems must be solved by EU countries.
