Factcheck: Yes, the POLITICO article (March 1) is real. Analyst Ana Maria Jaller-Makarewicz calls the Middle East tensions a “panic moment” for EU energy reserves and vulnerabilities. She notes Russia could gain an “opportunity” if Qatari LNG is disrupted—but the piece stresses the EU’s ongoing phase-out of Russian imports, not a confirmed “likely increase.” The claim stretches the quotes.
