Europe's gas prices, which soared last year as Russia cut supplies, declined when the European Union and its allies took common action to improve the situation, European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen said on March 17. "The moment we acted in unity to diversify away from Russia, gas prices went down," von der Leyen said during a visit to a North Sea gas platform.
