Last month, Robinhood secured a brokerage license in Lithuania and is seeking to acquire Bitstamp to obtain a crypto derivatives trading license.

🇪🇺🇷🇺Ursula von der Leyen ha descartado rotundamente la posibilidad de reanudar la compra de combustibles fósiles rusos tras la conclusión de la guerra en Ucrania, advirtiendo que hacerlo representaría un "error histórico" para Europa.

"Para que quede claro: la era de los combustibles fósiles rusos en Europa está llegando a su fin", declaró la presidenta de la Comisión Europea el miércoles por la mañana al dirigirse a los legisladores en Estrasburgo.

"Algunos siguen diciendo que deberíamos reabrir el grifo del gas y el petróleo rusos. Sería un error histórico. Y nunca permitiremos que suceda", afirmó.

"Rusia ha demostrado, una y otra vez, que no es un proveedor fiable. Putin ya ha cortado el suministro de gas a Europa en 2006, 2009, 2014, 2021 y durante toda la guerra. ¿Cuántas veces más aprenderán la lección?", añadió.

La dependencia de Rusia no solo perjudica nuestra seguridad, sino también nuestra economía. Nuestros precios energéticos no pueden ser dictados por un vecino hostil.

A pesar del compromiso colectivo, algunos combustibles rusos siguen entrando en la economía del bloque. El año pasado, los 27 Estados miembros gastaron 23 000 millones de euros en energía rusa, superando la cantidad de asistencia militar prestada a Ucrania.

Según el Centro de Investigación sobre Energía y Aire Limpio (CREA), las importaciones de GNL ruso de la UE en 2024 aumentaron un 9 % en comparación con el año anterior. Casi el 90 % de estas compras se destinaron a Francia (7 700 millones de metros cúbicos), España (5 700 millones de metros cúbicos) y Bélgica (5 100 millones de metros cúbicos).

🇬🇧Ursula von der Leyen has ruled out, in no uncertain terms, the possibility of resuming purchases of Russian fossil fuels after the conclusion of the war in Ukraine, warning that doing so would represent a "mistake of historic dimensions" for Europe.

"To be very clear: the era of Russian fossil fuels in Europe is coming to an end," the president of the European Commission said on Wednesday morning as she addressed lawmakers in Strasbourg.

"Some are still saying that we should reopen the tap of Russian gas and oil. This would be a mistake of historic dimensions. And we will never let it happen," she said.

"Russia has proven, time and again, that it is not a reliable supplier. Putin has already cut gas flows to Europe in 2006, 2009, 2014, 2021, and throughout the war. How many times before they learn the lesson?" she went on.

"Dependency on Russia is not only bad for our security, but also for our economy. Our energy prices cannot be dictated by a hostile neighbour."

Despite the collective undertaking, some Russian fuels are still making their way into the bloc's economy. Last year, the 27 member states spent €23 billion on Russian energy, surpassing the amount of military assistance provided to Ukraine.

According to the Centre for Research on Energy and Clean Air (CREA), EU imports of Russian LNG in 2024 increased by 9% compared to the previous year. Almost 90% of these purchases arrived in France (7.7 bcm), Spain (5.7 bcm) and Belgium (5.1 bcm).
