"The move aims to end dependency on Russian energy following Russia's weaponisation of gas supplies with significant effects on the European energy market, said a European Council statement."
"Europe is closing the tap on Russian fossil fuels once and for all. Energy independence starts now."
"We've chosen energy security and independence for Europe. No more blackmail. No more market manipulation by Putin. We stand strong with Ukraine. Europe will stop importing Russian gas before end 2027. @Europarl_EN & @EUCouncil agreed on our proposed import ban. We are sending a clear message to Russia: Europe will never again let its energy supply be"
A provisional agreement between the European Council and the European Parliament establishes a timeline to end all Russian gas imports by November 2027. Member states will halt imports of Russian liquefied natural gas by the end of 2026 and pipeline gas by November 2027. The deadline reflects a compromise later than some member states and the parliament sought. The measure aims to cut revenues to Russia that finance its war in Ukraine and to eliminate reliance after Russia weaponised gas supplies, which had left the bloc nearly 50 percent reliant on Russian energy before February 2022.
