This is how the EU and the US will free themselves from Russian gas

The leaders raised the energy issue already last night in a joint statement on the consequences of Russia's war in Ukraine.

"The EU has reaffirmed its goal of becoming independent of Russian gas well before the end of the decade, while work is underway to guarantee reliable and clean energy supplies at a good price to citizens and businesses.
