President of the European Council Charles Michel was among a bevy of Balkan leaders and other officials framing Greek PM Kyriakos Mitsotakis at the inaugural ceremony of the new Liquefied Natural Gas Terminal off Alexandroupolis and he had something to say on twitter, and in Greek no less.
“We will end our dependence on Russian fossil fuels. The new liquefied natural gas station is a geopolitical investment. “It contributes to the liberation of Southeastern Europe from the weaponization of natural gas by Russia.” This was stated in a post in Greek on Twitter, by the President of the European Council Charles Michel on the occasion of the inauguration of the new facility.
Θα τερματίσουμε την εξάρτησή μας από τα ρωσικά ορυκτά καύσιμα.
Ο νέος σταθμός υγροποιημένου φυσικού αερίου είναι μια γεωπολιτική επένδυση.
Συμβάλει στην απελευθέρωση της Νοτιοανατολικής Ευρώπης από την εργαλειοποίηση του φυσικού αερίου από τη Ρωσία.
