4/5 Nuclear
The EU continues to rely on RU uranium, which presents four key risks:
1) energy security;
2) political division;
3) defence entanglement;
4) sanctions loopholes.
A phased, legally backed strategy is needed to end imports and reduce Rosatom’s influence.

3/5 Oil
The EU banned RU coal (Aug ‘22), crude oil (Dec ‘22) and oil products (Feb ‘23)
• direct EU imports from RU replaced (crude oil: by the US, NO, KZ, SA; diesel: SA, IN, the US)
• CZ, HU, SK continue to import oil via Druzhba

2/5 Gas:
Import tariffs on RU gas
• prevent RU from causing division
• generate revenue, potentially used to support affected countries/industries
• pressure Russia to lower its gas prices
• be implemented by qualified majority, unlike an embargo, requiring unanimity

1/5 Gas
Despite the 2022 gas supply shock, EU countries failed to develop an urgently needed unified strategy for RU gas at the EU level. In 2024, RU gas made up 18% of EU gas imports. Fragmented national policies weaken the bloc’s collective response.

The EU has a non-binding goal to phase out Russian gas by 2027. However, the EU continues to rely on Russian energy. The roadmap to phase out Russian gas, oil and nuclear imports will be published today, 6th May. A thread on @bruegel.bsky.social’s research on gas, oil, and nuclear.

📊March LNG+Q1 2025 data by source
•Q1 2025: NO top EU supplier; US at record high; RU at lowest
•March LNG: record imports driven by highest-ever US LNG
•April weekly LNG: remains above seasonal levels
•Storage: EU 35%, UA 3%

Most of the RU pipeline infrastructure still exists 3/5
While reopening Yamal is unlikely, TurkStream’s capacity is fully utilised, two options remain: restoring transit via Ukraine (~100 bcm capacity) or using an undamaged Nord Stream 2 pipe (28 bcm capacity).

Russian gas imports 2/5
In 2021, Russia supplied about half of the EU’s gas imports via four pipelines and LNG shipments. By 2024, Russian gas imports had fallen to 54 bcm, accounting for 18% of the EU's gas imports, primarily driven by Russian supply cuts.
