EU Likely to Delay Russian Fuel Phase-Out Plan by a Month

The European Commission is likely to postpone its planned publication date for a roadmap to phase out the last remaining fuels from Russia, including liquefied natural gas.

The bloc’s executive arm may put forward the plan on March 26, a month later than originally planned, according to people familiar with the matter who spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss sensitive planning. The roadmap is expected to lay out the steps needed for the European Union’s member states to fully exit from Russian fuels, part of the effort to cut off funding for President Vladimir Putin’s invasion of Ukraine.
