So, Michel said that if it is possible to replace oil, then in the case with natural gas it is different.
"The market of oil is global, and there are other suppliers. Natural gas is other problem. It is not only energy resource. Natural gas can't be replaced with any other petrochemical product. Closing of the Russian natural gas crane isn't discussed now," Charles Michel said.
