Amos Khochstein: Russia can’t be the only supplier of energy resources in the European market

Russia is an important partner for Europe but it can’t be the only supplier of energy resources in the market, a special delegate and coordinator of the US Department of State for international energy, A. Khochstein, said.

We don’t think that some part of the world should depend on the only supplier of resources, he said.

Well, there are countries in South America that depend on the fuel of one supplier but we try to help them with diversification.

Speaking about Europe, we would like it to go on buying energy resources in Russia. Russia is an important supplier but it can’t be the only supplier in the market. It is neither useful for Russia nor for Europe. A 100% dependence on one supplier is a bad idea from the economic and political points of view.
