Ukraine’s President calls for increased production to reduce competition for oil and gas

Specifically, in a video sent to the Doha Forum international conference, Zelensky said that countries like Qatar can contribute to European security stability by increasing energy production to reduce Russia’s competitive position. The future of Europe depends in part on the efforts of these countries.

In addition, the President of Ukraine warned that shocks from food supply chain disruptions due to the impact of the conflict in Ukraine could affect all countries.

European countries are said to be looking to reduce their dependence on Russian oil and gas supplies and have also looked to suppliers in Qatar for alternatives. Last week, Qatar announced that Germany was committed to building two major pipeline systems to receive gas from the Gulf state. The pledge was announced after the visit of the German ministers to Qatar.
