Pressure Mounts On EU To Cut Its Dependence On Russian Energy

The European Union is scrambling to phase out its use of Russian energy. In the meantime, it continues to make hefty payments to the Kremlin.

Pretending to be dead in front of the German parliament — protesters say Germany and the EU have blood on their hands. 

"Every single day one billion of European money is going to Russia to kill Ukrainians," said Olha Sytnyk, protest organizer. 

The European Union has acted with unprecedented speed and unity in sanctioning Russia, but energy is the 27-country bloc's weak spot.
