The expert announced the future resumption of energy ties between Europe and Russia

Europe will have to restore energy relations with Russia in the future, and the Nord Stream project may play a key role. This opinion was expressed by international security expert Mark Episkopos on the social network X (ex. Twitter).

"As I stated many years ago, Europe is under enormous economic pressure to resume its energy relations with Russia after the end of the war. We have a unique opportunity to ensure that this happens in the interests of the United States, and Nord Stream plays a key role here," he wrote.

According to the expert, economic factors will push European countries to revise their energy policy.
