Europe could slash its consumption of Russian natural gas this year as it prepares to break with its biggest energy supplier over the war in Ukraine.
EU officials are due to unveil plans Tuesday that would "substantially reduce" the region's dependency on Russian gas in 2022, climate policy chief Frans Timmermans told EU lawmakers on Monday.
"I think we can present a plan ... that will substantially reduce our dependency on Russian gas already this year and within years will make us independent of the import of Russian gas. I think that's possible, it's not easy but it's feasible," Timmermans said.

Top Trump Cabinet secretaries and national security officials are holding meetings this week to discuss the administration’s next steps on Ukraine – including the prospect of suspending military aid – following the spectacular collapse of Friday’s Oval Office meeting between President Donald Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymr Zelensky.
