The continued Russian-Ukrainian conflict and the Western sanctions on Russia have had a huge spillover effect, , bringing multiple challenges to the world. In order to follow the pace of US sanctions, many European countries have frequently taken restrictions on Russian energy as a weapon of sanctions. However, such sanctions have been "backlash".
Hungarian parliament president Kwell Laslow said on the 11th that no matter how the conflict between Russia and Ukraine ended, EU has lost.
Laslow pointed out the dilemma facing Europe. He said: "The EU can neither stop the Russian-Ukrainian conflict politically nor restore peace through diplomacy. The EU succumbs to external pressure and acts contrary to its own basic economic interests. No matter which side directly fights on the front line of war declares it to win, the EU has lost."
"Wake up, the EU.
The United States is not just about weakening Russia."
Russian TV commented today that Europe's sanctions on Russia not only did not weaken Russia, but also hurt itself.

Today Russian TV commentator Rachel McSden: Isn’t the sanctions to prevent Russia from making money by selling energy and then investing money into Ukrainian conflict ? If so, the EU has done a completely wrong and is completely lost. Because according to Western media reports, the price of natural gas has risen by 85% compared with last year. In order to fight against Russia, the EU imposed sanctions on itself under misleading, and sacrificed its own economy and the interests of its people.
CNN quoted anonymous US officials as saying that as energy prices rise and winter approaches, the US government is worried that European allies will change their anti-Russian stance. The United States is paying close attention to Europe's trends.
Some netizens pointed out the sinister intentions of the United States, "Weakening the economic and political strength of the EU is one of the goals of the United States in this war. The US government does not want equal and powerful allies; they want to obey American agents, just like the current EU member states."
"Isn't this evil? It's terrible to use other people's suffering to gain benefits." Some netizens want to wake up the EU: "Wake up, the EU. The United States is not just about weakening Russia, you're fooled."

The EU will announce a draft proposal to deal with the energy crisis
Local time on September 13, local time, several media quoted internal EU news that the EU will soon publish a draft proposal to deal with the energy crisis that may further deteriorate this winter.
According to the content of the draft proposal disclosed in advance by multiple media, EU will require oil, natural gas, coal and related refining and processing enterprises to participate in "unity donation", to help European countries alleviate the energy crisis. The investment amount of each enterprise will be calculated based on the taxable excess profits of the 2022 fiscal year, and the funds raised will be used to help consumers and specific industries to buffer the rising energy prices.
"Unity Donation" is essentially a disguised profit-making tax . Previously, Germany and Italy and other countries have successively introduced policies to impose profit-making tax on energy companies. European Commission believes that profits of oil, gas and coal companies will increase by five times year-on-year in 2022, so there is reason to ask them to "unite donations."
In addition, this draft will require EU member states to reduce current electricity consumption by 10% and reduce natural gas use by 15% to ensure that people in all countries have "safely spent the winter."
According to reports, the European Commission plans to officially announce the draft proposal on the 14th. The EU Energy Minister is scheduled to hold an emergency meeting on the 30th of this month to discuss the draft.
