In April, Lithuania stopped using Russian natural gas. Imports of oil and electricity from Russia are now also stopped. Minister of Energy Dainus Kreivys tells Danish Finans that it is a step towards energy independence.
– But it is also an expression of solidarity with Ukraine. We must stop financing the Russian war machine, he says.
Earlier, Lithuania received gas from Russia via a Russian oil pipeline that runs via the Baltics to Kaliningrad. In the future, the gas will be shipped in.
