The European Union faces rising energy prices due to global instability, particularly tensions in the Middle East affecting oil supply. The U.S. has expanded a sanctions waiver for Russian oil, causing concern among European leaders about its impact on isolating Moscow. French MEP Fabrice Leggeri criticizes the EU's ideological sanctions approach, while Finnish MEP Jussi Saramo advocates for investment in renewable energy over nuclear power. The two MEPs also debate the U.S. and Israel's actions against Iran.
