with we can do to help the people of ukraine protect themselves, see what more we can do to tighten the economic vice around the putin regime. the most contentious area, as the west tries to tighten sanctions against russia, is the eu's dependence on russian fossil fuel exports. the eu currently relies on russia for 40% of its gas. brussels has laid out a strategy aimed at cutting that reliance by two thirds within a year. but some want the bloc to go faster, including latvia's prime minister. we have to find a way to move away from russian energy dependency as quickly as possible. it's in line with the green deal moving towards renewables, energy efficiency, we have to continue in this as possible and i am arguing and i'll argue tonight that we have to look at serious energy sanctions as well because this is the main source of income for the russian government.
