EU Unveils Plan to End Russian Gas Imports by 2027

  • The European Union plans to unveil a roadmap on Tuesday outlining how to phase out all Russian fossil fuel imports by 2027 across its 27 member states.
  • This roadmap follows the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine and aims to sever long-standing energy ties amid challenges like Hungary and Slovakia's opposition to sanctions.
  • The plan includes legal efforts to annul existing gas contracts, exploring force majeure claims, while also seeking alternatives such as increased U.S. liquefied natural gas imports.

  • The roadmap signals continued efforts but faces complex legal hurdles and unanimous member-state approval challenges, implying that a complete ban or embargo remains uncertain by 2027.
