Some European countries have a level of energy dependency on Russia that is clearly excessive, and which also relates to the fact that Europe was divided for a long time during the 20th century and to the fact that in some cases, direct interconnections between European countries do not exist.
Osa Euroopa riike sõltub energia tarnimisel Venemaast ilmselgelt liiga palju. See on seotud ka asjaoluga, et Euroopa oli 20. sajandil pikka aega lõhestatud ja mõnel juhul puuduvad otseühendused Euroopa riikide vahel.
