41% : EU to publish 'roadmap' to phase out Russian energy * Aims to cut ties by 2027 with EU's once-top gas supplier * Could pave way for more U.S. LNG imports * EU has not imposed sanctions on Russian gas By Kate Abnett and Lili Bayer BRUSSELS, May 6 (Reuters) -
39% : The EU has a non-binding aim to end its reliance on Russian fossil fuels by 2027, which it set after Moscow's 2022 full-scale invasion of Ukraine.
37% : The Commission is also concerned about energy prices, and has said any measures to restrict Russian energy imports must hurt Moscow more than the EU, and take into account the impact on fuel costs.
