Three important points related to this. Russia has damaged the Druzhba oil pipeline. Our priority is the energy security of our member states. Ukraine has committed to repairing the pipeline, and the decision on the timing is up to it. And finally, this Wednesday (February 25 - ed.) we convened the oil coordination group to assess the situation. That's where we are now.
