The European Union has proposed to bring forward a ban on Russian gas imports as part of a new package of sanctions aimed at sapping Moscow's war chest, and pleasing US President Donald Trump.
Under the measures presented for approval by the bloc's member states, the European Commission said it aims to phase out liquefied natural gas (LNG) purchases from Russia by January 2027 - one year earlier than planned.
Eight European Union countries continue to import Russian natural gas, European Commission (EC) Spokeswoman Anna-Kaisa Itkonen said at a press briefing in Brussels.
"Member states who import Russian gas, Belgium, Netherlands, France, Spain, Portugal, mainly […] through TurkStream, Greece, Slovakia, Hungary," she noted.
That said, the spokeswoman emphasized that the EC has no information about the final destination of these supplies.
