The European Commission published plans on Tuesday to cut its dependency on Russian gas by two-thirds this year and end its reliance on Russian supplies of the fuel "well before 2030."

British Prime Minister Boris Johnson also announced the U.K. will phase out imports of Russian oil and oil products by the end of 2022.
The Russian invasion of Ukraine last month has triggered an overhaul of the 27-country EU's energy priorities as Brussels seeks to wrest countries free from depending on Russia, which supplies around 40% of the bloc's natural gas.
