The President of the European Commission, Ursula von der Leyen,categorically ruled out the possibility of Europe resuming the purchase of Russian fossil fuels even after the end of the war in Ukraine. In a speech before the European Parliament in Strasbourg, she described that option as "a mistake of historic proportions" and stated emphatically: "The era of Russian fossil fuels in Europe is coming to an end." This statement comes amid a complex international context, where U.S. President Donald Trumpis promoting an imminent peace agreement between Russia and Ukraine. The White House has shown openness to Kremlin narratives, including territorial claims over Crimea and other occupied areas, which has raised concerns about a possible return of Russian energy to the European market as part of a high-level negotiation.
