The European Union has issued a sharp warning to Russia, accusing Moscow of weaponizing energy supplies for political leverage. Speaking at a North Sea summit in Hamburg, EU Energy Commissioner Dan Jorgensen said Europe will no longer allow energy blackmail or indirectly fund Russia’s war in Ukraine.

At the same summit, Britain, Germany, Denmark and other North Sea nations signed a major clean energy agreement, pledging to deliver 100 gigawatts of offshore wind power by 2050. The move signals continued European commitment to renewable energy and energy security, even as U.S. President Donald Trump criticizes green policies.

00:09Let's welcome Minister of the Economy, SME's energy and tourism,
00:15Charles-Elvain Guillaume.
00:30France.
00:33For economic affairs and energy, Katarina.
00:47And I, please.
00:51And now we want to...
00:54Thank you and thank you so much, Minister, for hosting us here.
01:08Das erste Gipfeltreffen war eine sehr direkte Reaktion auf Russlands schrecklichen Angriffskrieg
01:14auf die Ukraine und die daraus entstandene Energiekrise.
01:18Der Gipfel hat damals ein wichtiges Signal gesendet.
01:22Wir als Nordseeländer stärken unsere Zusammenarbeit, um die Nordsee zu einem Kraftwerk in Europa
01:29zu machen.
01:30Und damit steht der Gipfel für unsere Unabhängigkeit, die wir gemeinsam stärken wollen.
01:35Dieses zentrale...
01:37Vielen Dank.
01:38Und die erste Frage geht an Herrn Hönig von der dpa.
01:41Wir haben uns ambitionierte Ziele gesetzt.
01:43Bis 2050 wollen wir insgesamt bis zu 100 Gigawatt Windenergie in der Nordsee durch grenzüberschreitende
01:52der Offshore-Projekte ausbauen.
01:54Und gleichzeitig legen wir mit dem neuen Offshore-Financing-Framework den Grundstein für eine faire
02:03und die Entscheidung.
02:04Das ist eine Frage an alle von Ihnen.
02:06Ist es nicht ein Gefahr, dass die Angriffe kostet...
02:09Also, in december last year, wir in der EU senden ein sehr klar Signal
02:17zu Russland.
02:21No more will we let you weaponize energy against us.
02:26No more will we let you blackmail member states of the European Union.
02:33And no more will we help indirectly fund the war in Ukraine.
02:39We've decided to finally end our imports of Russian energy.
02:45Well it's always important to be diplomatic in my view.
02:52We obviously don't agree with President Trump on that.
02:57For us in the UK offshore wind is absolutely critical for our energy security.
03:03This is a hard headed not a soft hearted view that we have.
03:09We think it's the right thing for the climate crisis but we think it's absolutely the right
03:13thing for energy security.
03:16I think offshore wind is for winners.
03:17I think offshore wind is going to connect 12 million homes in the UK just with our recent
03:24auction getting us off the roller coaster of fossil fuels.
03:31And different countries will pursue their own national interests.
03:34But we are very clear about where our national interest lies.
03:38I guess in Deutschland tankwit overdehmen konnte.
03:42Muss man nicht künftig eindrehen.
03:44But we do need LNG from America as it is now.
03:51The US is now our second biggest contributor of gas having replaced Russia.
03:58Now we are not against trading with the US on the contrary.
04:03We have never wanted a trade war.
04:05We want to trade and deal with the US on as many issues as possible.
04:12But we are of course aware, and this goes for all countries, not only the US, that we
04:16are not aiming at replacing one dependency with a new dependency.
04:21We want to grow our own energy.
04:24And our strategy in the future is to become free of gas.
04:54But again it's the cultivation of gas in the future.
