"Without a coordinated legal and infrastructural overhaul, and the political will to confront internal divisions, the EU’s ambition to fully sever its energy ties with Russia by the 2027 deadline will remain unattainable."

"If Europe wants to get invested in nuclear or renewable energies with the aim of being more self-reliant and energy secure, that will take time [beyond 2027]."

"The current design of the legal Russian gas phaseout regime contains several structural loopholes that risk prolonging Europe's dependence [beyond 2027] on Russian gas and undermining the effectiveness of the broader sanctions architecture."

"Slovakia and Hungary's infrastructure does not allow them to quickly [by end of 2027] transition to alternative suppliers."

"The 2027 deadlines are not a guarantee of a final break with Russian gas, but rather a political compromise that can still be diluted by exemptions, court proceedings and weak national-level enforcement."

"2027 is a key year for new LNG export capacity, especially from the US and Qatar. ... There is enough coming online to make up for a Russian shortfall, especially if Russian LNG can just flow into other markets like China."

"By 2027, it is possible to replace all these volumes - about 16 million tons, which are currently coming from Russia - with alternative suppliers."

"The European Union will be able to fully replace Russian liquefied natural gas imports with alternative supply from 2027 without major price shocks, thanks to booming projects in the United States and Qatar."

“We’ve made it: Europe is turning off the tap on Russian gas [by 2027], forever.”

"We are breaking away from detrimental reliance on Russian gas [by 2027] and taking a major step, in a spirit of solidarity and cooperation, towards an autonomous Energy Union."

Will the European Union Phase Out Russian LNG by 2027?

Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan claimed victory early Monday after preliminary results showed his Civil Contract party winning 49.81% of the vote, with rival Samvel Karapetyan's Strong Armenia alliance finishing second at 23.29%.

Four parties cleared the 4% electoral threshold to enter Armenia's 105-member National Assembly, with turnout recorded at 59.97%. Preliminary results indicated Civil Contract won 61 seats, enough to govern without coalition partners.

European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen and French President Emmanuel Macron congratulated Pashinyan following the result. Von der Leyen said Armenia "can count on us," while Macron said the win would boost "momentum toward closer ties with Europe."

In the weeks before the election, Russia imposed trade restrictions on Armenian exports including flowers, cognac, wine, vegetables and dried fruits. The European Commission described the measures as "nothing short of economic coercion" and pledged 50 million euros in support.

Armenian investigators issued six arrest warrants for members of the Strong Armenia party the day before the election on suspicion of vote-buying. The Central Election Commission rejected a separate bid to bar the party from participating over corruption allegations.

Strong Armenia leader Samvel Karapetyan, a Russian-Armenian billionaire under house arrest for allegedly calling for the government's overthrow, campaigned from his home and denied the charges as politically motivated. The party advocates closer economic and political ties with Russia.
