The European Union has announced a strategic roadmap aimed at halting Russian gas imports by the end of 2027, as part of its broader initiative to reduce reliance on Russian energy sources. The plan includes measures for existing contracts, proposals to ban new agreements, and calls for greater transparency in company disclosures related to Russian gas contracts. Despite facing legal challenges and concerns over potential supply shortages, Brussels is pushing forward with efforts to transition towards alternative energy sources, including LNG, hydrogen, and biomethane, to fill the expected gap. While some member states express caution, the EU is mobilizing executives and stakeholders to expedite the phaseout of Russian gas imports amid ongoing geopolitical tensions.
