Reply to comment by MTFHammerDown in Russian President Vladimir Putin unwittingly accelerated the European Union’s green transition with his war in Ukraine, with the 27-nation bloc reducing its dependency on Russian fossil fuels and increasing its renewable energy use over the past year, the EU’s climate czar said Tuesday. by MrGuttFeeling

Eu citizen Along up : no one ever use the term anymore for obvious reasons so I don't know why they thought it Was 1) relevant 2) a good idea.

Unless because it's Russia related they decided to use another Russian word to stay on the thematic. Which would be quite pitiful imo..

It’s AP news, an American paper. Czar refers to an official who coordinates policy on an issue for the government.

Russians have Tsars, just as Germans have Kaisers, just as many European languages have a word derived from Caesar.

Czar is a word used in English. Who are you to tell English speaking people that their word is wrong just because it sounds like another word when you probably have such a word in your language as well that you use to refer to something beyond Russian emperors?
