EU Firm on Russian Gas Phase-Out

The European Union is steadfast in its decision to end the importation of Russian gas, according to European Energy Commissioner Dan Jorgensen. Jorgensen, speaking at a news conference, highlighted the risks of reversing this decision.

Jorgensen stated, "In my opinion, it would be a huge mistake to start importing Russian energy again." The commissioner reiterated the strategic importance of maintaining this policy for the EU's energy independence and security.

The EU's plan to diversify its energy sources aims to reduce reliance on Russian gas, a move that reflects the bloc's broader geopolitical and environmental goals.
