Council of the European Union has approved a plan to fully ban the import of Russian gas
2025-10-21
[PUBLISH.TWITTER]
… Council’s official statement.

Imports of new Russian gas will already be prohibited starting January 1, 2026, though existing contracts will have a transition period: short-term contracts until June 2026, and long-term ones until early 2028.

The measure must now be approved by the European Parliament. If adopted, it will mark the first legally binding phase-out of Russian fuel in EU history.
