How can EUR react?

According to Eurostat, the annual inflation in the Eurozone reached 7.5% in March compared to 5.9% in February. It has been hitting record highs for five months in a row. According to the agency, energy prices rose 32% in February. Then, in March, the prices increased by 44.7% from the February numbers. All this was due to the oil and gas crisis fueled by the EU-Russia tensions after Russia invaded Ukraine.
