One of President Biden’s closest aides has urged Russia not to exploit the gas crisis that’s leading to energy shortages across Europe.

Russia supplies 40% of Europe’s natural gas imports.

It insists much of the problem lies with Europe’s decision not to take out long-term contracts, for which it is now paying the price.

US National Security advisor Jake Sullivan told the BBC: “It would be a mistake for Russia to try and exploit this, I think that would ultimately backfire on them and I believe they should respond to the market demands for increased energy demands to Europe.”
