 Now in business news, leaders of European Union countries will meet in the sales today for a two-day summit to discuss ways of winning the countries of a heavy reliance on Russian energy imports. A member of the EU-Russia Gas Advisory Council, energy expert Thierry Bross, said the EU relies on Russia for 40% of its natural gas needs to partner with only homes but also factories. He said that only an estimated 75% of gas imports from Russia can be replaced in the best-case scenario, with alternative exporters such as Norway and Algeria already running at full capacity, leaving the gap that would certainly spark a rise in electricity prices and lower industrial productivity. Now Bross said countries may have to turn more to coal plants to address the power generation needs, as front had done at the start of the year and prioritized happening the war over goals of reducing carbon emissions. On Wednesday pipeline operator Data showed that Russian gas delivered through pipelines continued to flow via Poland westward into Germany, while flows into Slovakia via Ukraine remained at recent high levels following threats to cut supplies. Also on the agenda at the first 10-11 EU summit in Versailles, a boost in Kyiv's links to the EU single market and to Europe's energy grid on the RIDS for enhanced partnership.
