EU countries split over speed of Russian fossil fuel phaseout – official
A draft statement for a summit of EU leaders this week said they will agree to phase out the EU’s dependency on imports of Russian gas, oil and coal, without setting a fixed date.
European Union countries are divided over how quickly the bloc should wean itself off Russian fossil fuel imports, an EU official said on Wednesday ahead of a meeting where country leaders will discuss the issue.
“Some are asking 2030, some are asking 2027, some are saying now… .I think some member states might reach this target earlier,” the official said.
