Arab countries rejected Western requests; Europe was left alone in a harsh winter.
The European Union and the United States of America, which did not spare any efforts to attract the help of Arab and African countries in the energy crisis, faced the answer of “no” from these countries and were left alone in a hard winter.
The most important consequence of the Russia-Ukraine war, which occurred due to NATO’s expansionism next to Russia’s borders, was the global energy crisis, which had the greatest impact on the situation of the European Union. The European Union, which supplies most of its energy from Russian sources, is stuck on the eve of a hard and cold winter; It is as if no country can help Europe pass through it. The countries that can reduce the effects of this crisis and have help, do not have the will and desire to play a role. More than all the countries that can be a good substitute for Russian gas in Europe, we should mention the position and policy of the Arab countries of the Persian Gulf. With the strategy of non-intervention in this crisis, the Arab countries have not responded properly to Western requests and have left the European Union alone in the middle of a major crisis.
After the start of military operations in Ukraine, Russia gradually reduced the volume of its gas exports to the European Union; This showed that Moscow’s warnings are not only verbal threats.
Now that the export of Russian gas to Europe has been completely cut off, the fears and concerns of the Westerners have become a reality from a cold winter.
The Arab countries were the first and most important destination of the European Union to meet their energy shortage, and they all declared their opposition and inability to replace Russia’s energy.
Gas producers in the region of West Asia and the African continent said “no” to the requests of the European Union to increase energy production, so that the western countries can wait for a cold and hard winter.
