Under the deal, LNG cargoes of Russian origin will be banned from Jan. 1, 2027, with pipeline imports following on Sept. 30 the same year, while spot purchases will disappear earlier with LNG banned from April 26, 2026 and pipeline gas from June 17, 2026.

As of October, Russia accounted for 12% of EU gas imports, down from 45% before its 2022 invasion of Ukraine, with Hungary, France and Belgium among the countries still receiving Russian gas, according to the European Council.

The European Commission will in early 2026 table a proposal for a prohibition on Russian pipeline oil intended to take effect no later than end 2027, with the commission required to present a plan next year outlining how Russian oil exports to Slovakia and Hungary will be phased out.

Entities found breaching the ban will face penalties of 40 million euros, 300% of the transaction value or 3.5% of annual turnover, with national authorities choosing which sanction to apply, according to the agreement reached by EU negotiators.

Russia's gas exports to Europe via the TurkStream pipeline increased by 7.8% year on year in January through November and totaled 16.3 billion cubic meters, according to calculations based on data from the European Network of Transmission System Operators for Gas.

Cutting off Russian energy has been an economic disaster for Europe. Companies now pay two to three times more for electricity than American competitors and 4.5 times more for gas, forcing widespread factory closures and job losses. The EU paid an extra $204 billion for natural gas over 20 months while household electricity prices hit record highs, proving this self-inflicted crisis has devastated European industry and workers.

Europe's dependence on Russian gas was the greatest geopolitical blunder of the 21st century. Moscow weaponized energy exports for decades, cutting off supplies to Latvia, Lithuania and Ukraine to exert political control while Europe ignored the warnings. Ending this dangerous relationship was essential for security and independence, even if transition costs are high in the short term.

Cutting off Russian energy would be an economic disaster for Europe. Companies already pay 2-3 times more for electricity than U.S. rivals and 4.5 times more for gas, forcing widespread factory closures and job losses. The EU paid an extra $204 billion for natural gas over 20 months while household power bills hit record highs, proving this self-inflicted crisis will devastate European industry.

There is a 2% chance the EU will import at least 19 billion cubic meters of natural gas from Russia in the second half of 2025, according to the Metaculus prediction community.
