Italy supports the European Union's efforts to stop importing Russian gas. This was reported by UNN with reference to Reuters.
Details
According to Italian Energy Minister Pichetto Fratin, his country imported a small amount of Russian gas last year, which was mainly exported to Austria. Now, however, Italy has gained full energy independence from Moscow.
In addition, the EU announced this month that it would propose legal measures to phase out imports of Russian gas and liquefied natural gas by the end of 2027. This should end the long-standing energy relationship that was destroyed after Russia's invasion of Ukraine in February 2022.
Recall
In the US, more than 80 members of the Senate supported a bipartisan bill on sanctions against Russia. It provides for strict restrictions against the Russian Federation in case of refusal to make peace with Ukraine.
