The European Union will present a roadmap plan on May 6 on how to wean itself off Russian energy, European Commission spokesperson Stefan de Keersmaecker said on Monday.
"Tomorrow, the College will discuss a roadmap to end Russian energy imports," he said, referring to the EU's college of commissioners from the 27 EU countries.
The details of the plan will be presented on Tuesday in Strasbourg by Dan Jorgensen, EU Commissioner for Energy and Housing.
The European Commission has pledged that the EU will quit Russian fossil fuels by 2027 in response to Moscow's 2022 invasion of Ukraine.
U.S. President Donald Trump has also said he wants the EU to buy more American gas and EU officials see that as a possible bargaining chip in negotiations about tariffs.
