for years, europe has depended on russia for much of its energy supplies. in all, the eu gets 40% of its natural gas from there, and about a quarter of its crude oil. that means the kremlin has a big say in the price of our energy, and one ofjoe biden's closest advisers told me that influence could be exploited. we have long been concerned about russia using energy as a tool of coercion and a political weapon. we've seen it happen before and we could see it happen again. but do you think that russia are going to try and exploit this? i think it would be a mistake for russia to try to exploit this. i think that would ultimately backfire on them and i believe that they should respond to the market demands for increased energy supplies to europe. the fear is that moscow is not supplying as much gas as it could to put pressure on the eu to start using this, russia's new pipeline called nord stream 2. this would massively increase the amount of gas coming direct from russia, through the baltic sea, to germany, bypassing the other main route through ukraine. some
