The Dutch government is working on ending all liquefied natural gas imports from Russia, according to Energy Minister Rob Jetten.
The Netherlands stopped signing new contracts for LNG imports from Russia this year — without announcing the decision — and it’s working on winding down pre-existing contracts, he said in an interview at his office in The Hague.
