(RT) – he EU should stop buying Russian natural gas and all other goods, Romanian Prime Minister Ion-Marcel Ciolacu has said, while admitting such a drastic measure would cost the bloc “a bit of comfort” as a result of higher prices.
Speaking to the Austrian daily Der Standard on Thursday, the Romanian leader called for all member states to achieve independence from Russian energy as soon as possible, claiming that its neighbor and EU-candidate state, Moldova, had already done so.
“There are always solutions, even for difficult economic problems. That’s why I believe it would be right if we banned the sale of Russian gas or Russian goods to the EU and democratic states,” he stated.
