Dublin MEP Barry Andrews says Ireland should support an EU ban on imports of Russian oil and gas. Calls for tougher sanctions against Russia have increased following the news over the weekend of Russian atrocities against Ukrainian civilians in Bucha outside Kyiv.
The Fianna Fail MEP says the EU will be able to cope with the impact of an energy embargo despite the bloc’s reliance on Russia for supplies of gas, oil and coal.
Mr Andrews says the Ukrainians need military aid and tougher sanctions rather than goodwill and rhetoric.
