Ecology has become a barrier in the energy war between the EU and Russia, the expert said

The EU countries are ready to go to the destruction of forests for fuel and will move further away from environmental regulations, which become a barrier for them in the energy confrontation with Russia, the head of the Russian Ecological Society Rashid Ismailov told RIA Novosti.
Earlier, Politico reported that against the background of a sharp rise in energy prices, Europe is relaxing the rules of deforestation, allowing people to use firewood as fuel to guarantee energy security in the face of confrontation with Russia.
"We are witnessing a reversal in the EU's environmental and climate policy. The green fleur of our partners has dissolved. Life dictates its own rules. Our colleagues have already returned to coal, built fences in protected areas, which negatively affects the migration of animals. Now the destruction of forests," Ismailov said.
He believes that European countries will continue to "deviate from environmental regulations", because in order to achieve their political goals, "ecology is already hindering, becoming a barrier."
The Russian Ecological Society is an all-Russian public organization for the protection and protection of natural resources.
