According to Chinese publication "huanqiu shibao", the EU is rushing around, trying to find a replacement for the Russian energy, which they refuse. However, the newspaper notes, Europe's dependence on gas and oil from Russia is so large that in the short term to find a full-fledged alternative is simply impossible.

European leaders are actively pursuing a policy in this direction. So, on the October scheduled another trip to the middle East the German Chancellor Olaf Scholz. It is clear, for what purpose he decided to visit the region.

Since the energy crisis of the 1970-ies, when the Arab countries blocked the West of oxygen due to support for Israel, Europe has tried to build a diversified grid, not to depend on one supplier. Instability in the middle East region has led Europe to conduct closer the policies in the field of energy cooperation with Russia. As a result, in 2021, the EU received from Russia, about 25% of oil and almost 40% of the total gas consumption. This is according to conservative estimates.

The Ukrainian crisis has forced EU leaders to rethink its energy diplomacy and look for new, reliable sources of energy. Now the EU is trying huge volumes of oil and gas coming from Russia, spread over the countries in the Middle East and North Africa, says "huanqiu shibao". But first, countries in the Middle East there is no particular interest in seeing such supplies to start, because then energy prices will fall - will have to produce more and get less. Secondly, Europe itself is trying to shrug off the fact that the middle East is the region unstable. And to a certain extent, it is destabilized by the West led by the United States. Sometimes one rocket Houthis leads to such consequences for the global oil market, which can nullify any effect of the visit of the political level Scholz.
