The European Union (EU) is prepared for possible disruptions in gas supplies from Russia, European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen said on Wednesday.

“And on another topic we are also ready in case that the Russian leadership decides to weaponize the energy issue,” von der Leyen told a plenary session of the European Parliament.

During the last weeks, the EU has “looked into all possible disruption scenarios in case Russia decides partially or completely disrupt gas supplies to the European Union,” she pointed out.

The EU has also developed a set of emergency measures, which can be triggered in case of complete disruptions, she added.
