If it's so valuable why don't you want to buy it from the Russians and the Gulf?

I think Europe happily buys from the Gulf currently, and reluctantly buys from Russia if they have to.

Its more about being self sufficient. This is something that can easily be weaponized against us. E.g. Russia using Europes own money to finance their invasion of Ukraine.

We do want to buy it from the Gulf. It’s just that a certain country started a certain war and this is now off the table.
