The European Commission is set to propose plans for a faster phase-out of Russian energy resources.
European Union executive's head, Ursula von der Leyen, confirmed the planned proposal on Tuesday after a call with U.S. President Donald Trump.
The call between the two focused on increased efforts to place economic pressure on Russia.
Currently, the bloc had intended to end purchases of Russian fossil fuels by January 1, 2028, but von der Leyen said the new proposal would see an acceleration of that timeline.
"The Commission will soon present its 19th package of sanctions, targeting crypto, banks, and energy," von der Leyen wrote in a post on social media platform X.
“The Commission will propose speeding up the phase-out of Russian fossil imports."
