BRUSSELS, BELGIUM - SEPTEMBER 7: EU Commission President Ursula von der Leyen is talking to media in the Berlaymont, the EU Commission headquarter on September 7, 2022 in Brussels, Belgium. UvdL declares: 'We are facing an extraordinary situation, because Russia is an unreliable supplier and is manipulating our energy markets. Our unity and our solidarity will ensure that we will prevail! We have increased our preparedness and weakened Russia's grip on our energy supply through demand reduction which allowed our common storages to be at 82%'.(Photo by Thierry Monasse/Getty Images)
