Russia energy sanctions will stay despite US diesel deal, von der Leyen says

The EU will maintain sanctions on Russian fossil fuels despite a U.S. diesel deal with Russia, according to European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen. She emphasized that Russia cannot be trusted as an energy supplier due to its history of using energy as a weapon. Von der Leyen highlighted that Russia's actions, such as cutting gas supplies to Europe, have taught the EU a crucial lesson about energy dependency.
