> European Commissioner for Energy Dan Jorgensen told Hungarian outlet 444.hu that the EU would not lift its full ban on Russian gas imports, due to take effect in November 2027, even if Ukraine reaches a peace agreement. Responding to Hungarian Prime Minister Peter Magyar’s suggestion that purchases could resume after the conflict, Jorgensen said restarting them would be a mistake. The EU has approved phased bans on Russian LNG and pipeline gas imports.
