It does take a while to get pipelines and LNG terminals built...

Better late than never, I guess.
It's a goddamn scandal, since the begin of the invasion Europe has transferred more money to Russia than to Ukraine.
And since the oil and gas companies are all state-owned, 100% of that money went straight into the war chest.

Under the plans, imports of all Russian gas and liquefied natural gas to European Union member states will be banned by the end of 2027.

Taking their sweet time with this, huh...

They needed time to not hurt their industries. You know, like when you let your younger brother get beaten in the face so you can disguise yours and high tail it out of there ๐Ÿฅธ.

As much as I hate Trump - the guy is right about China. Chineese are buying all the other gas - $245bn last year and that money is buying lots of weapons.
