The International Democracy Union affirms that enduring energy security is a strategic pillar for democratic resilience. In total, the EU has spent over €100 billion on Russian gas since 2022, underlining the urgency of eliminating this dependency. Frontline EU member states accurately warned that reliance on Russian gas would be exploited for political leverage. The IDU welcomes strengthened transatlantic energy cooperation, exemplified by the recent US–Greece LNG agreement. Europe’s transition from Russian energy must be absolute and irreversible; credible unity and robust cooperation across the Atlantic are the surest guarantees of affordable, reliable, and politically secure energy for decades to come.
