      BRUSSELS, Jan 26 (Reuters) – European Union countries on Monday gave their final approval to the bloc’s plan to ban Russian gas imports by late 2027, allowing it to pass into law.

      The policy makes legally-binding the EU’s vow to cut ties with its former top gas supplier, nearly four years after Russia’s 2022 full-scale invasion of Ukraine.

      Ministers from EU countries approved the law at a meeting in Brussels on Monday, although Slovakia and Hungary voted against.

      Hungary said it would take the case to the European Court of Justice.

      The ban was designed to be approved by a reinforced majority of countries, allowing it to overcome opposition from Hungary and Slovakia, who remain heavily reliant on Russian energy imports and want to maintain close ties with Moscow.

      Under the agreement, the EU will halt Russian liquefied natural gas imports by the end of 2026 and pipeline gas by 30 September 2027.

      The law allows that deadline to shift to November 1 2027, at the latest, if a country is struggling to fill its gas storage caverns with non-Russian supply ahead of the winter heating season.

      Russia supplied more than 40% of the EU’s gas before the Ukraine war. That share dropped to around 13% in 2025, according to the latest available EU data.

      Since 2022, when Russia invaded Ukraine, the EU has been announcing the Boycott of Russian oil and gas. Now they’re extending the procrastination to 2027… ok, noted.

      By the way, the EU is changing one bad dealer for another terrible one = if the bloc starts buying oil and gas from the US due to some stupid deal with Trump, I will not forgive you for paying high energy bills—a concerned non-citizen.

      Fine… we need no Russian gas over here… but we also don’t want fascist American gas.

      We have to get rid of the influence of both countries… more green tech… no gas anymore.

      With this rhythm, if Russia actually decides to invade us, we will agree to talk about what to do after 5 years, prbaly by then the meeting will be held in Russian. We seriously lack good leadership in EU

      EU is the biggest hypocrite funding the conflict, like how tf does someone fail to find alternative gas in 4 effing years, it’s sad

      We should start to use our organic waste more effectively, to produce our own gas.

      All this oversized, only feed with crops, bio-gas plants in the middle of nowhere are dumb.

      We built too few next to towns and villages.

      And farms that are faraway from any bigger settlement, should build smaller and only for self-sufficiency, combined with solar and wind.
