This was stated by the President of the European Commission Ursula von der Leyen.

“Europe’s dependence on Russian oil and gas supplies is now in the past,” TASS quoted her as saying.

Russia cut gas exports to Europe by 80% in eight months, von der Leyen said.

In mid-February, European Commissioner for Energy Kadri Simson wrote on her social networks that the European Union had stopped buying Russian coal and reduced oil imports from Russia by 90%.

In addition, she noted that gas supplies through pipelines have significantly decreased.
