The EU has banned Russian pipeline and LNG gas imports, effective by late 2026 and September 2027, to reduce energy dependence.
The European Union has approved a legally binding ban on Russian pipeline and liquefied natural gas imports, set to take effect by September 30, 2027, with LNG imports ending by December 31, 2026.
The move, finalized by EU member states, requires origin verification, imposes fines up to €40 million or 3.5% of global turnover for violations, and mandates national diversification plans by March 1, 2026.
The ban follows a significant drop in Russian gas imports, which accounted for about 13% of EU totals in 2025, and is part of broader efforts to reduce energy dependence on Russia since the 2022 invasion.
The European Commission plans to propose similar restrictions on Russian oil by 2027.
